Good location to MSU

The room was clean, staff nice. They are a 2-3 star hotel the location is excellent t for MSU, Walls are thin you can hear everything, one of the rooms we had someone had smoked and it smell of smoke. We left the fan on to lighten the smell. There is a Whole Foods & Trader Joe’s next door, it was great to get a really god cup of coffee or snacks. Overall the room was good
