Upon checking in a sign on counter in lobby stated TVs not working. Must of not paid their cable bill. Shady people in parking lot, pacing outside of building. Didn’t feel very safe. During the night people were screaming and arguing. Didn’t sleep at all!! Stated coffee in lobby NOT!! When asked where the coffee was the desk attendant said something however couldn’t understand her. I had to ask her what several times to repeat herself. Finally said never mind and left. Can’t believe I was charged for staying there, they should have paid me.

First off the room I ordered wasn’t available after I paid Expedia 100 bucks for the room the staff blamed it on Expedia for selling rooms that’s not available I guess then when I get on the room the tv not working I paid 100 dollars I think Expedia should give me some of my money back because that stay last night not only the room but it also hurt me spending money with Expedia again.

In the three nights I was there there was no service to the room . No clean towel replacement , to emptying of the trash. The room had a horrible odor of cabanass , smoke or vape maybe all three. The key to the room was constantly needing reprogramming . The room was rodent and insect free . It appeared tidy upon check in

The first room I was checked into had water all over the floor so I was moved to another room, which still smelled like cigarette smoke and was very small. There were multiple people hanging out near my room talking on the balcony for most of the night. I wouldn't recommend this hotel

Sketchy people hanging out, felt unsafe. Staff was unpleasant & had to update my key card everyday. Not enough lighting in the room and bathroom curtain smelled like mildew. No cable TV or option to hook up my Roku device. Definately would not stay here again, a mistake.

Out of the 3 wall outlets only one worked and it was no where near the mirror for curling your hair. The room had no chair to sit on to put your shoes on. The room was so small the bed took up 80 percent of the space. Would never recommend this place for any amount of money. We were charged 368.00 for the night and it sucked big time.

This place was HORRIBLE!

This was literally the worst stay I think I have ever had somewhere. The room smelled, the floor was randomly wet. MSU Grad weekend at it's finest! This place should have the Health Department pay them a visit!
