I was really surprised at how great this property is. The decor is lovely. The staff were welcoming. The cafe is delightful. And the bed was SO COMFORTABLE. I’d stay again if I’m back in the area.

Holiday hours were a bummer but love the Graduate

We decided to treat ourselves to a stay over the July 4th weekend near our famliy in Lansing... I was really drawn by the location and amenities of the hotel. Unfortunately the in hotel coffee shop was closed on Saturday, July 4th, as well as the rooftop where we were hoping to relax after the day with family. I totally understand giving Team Members a break over the holiday with the local coffee shops, yet with the hotel industry being open daily, was hoping they'd offer more over this holiday weekend. Still do love the concept and design of the Graduate Hotels in general.

Parking fees are rediculous. Over $40 per day with imposed tips, and taxes on tips! We park in Las Vegas for less!

I really like the location of this hotel, its walkable distance to restaurants and MSU campus. I also liked the rooftop bar/lounge area. My only complaint is the parking. Valet is a huge ripoff! 35 bucks to park! Or use the public parking ramp nearby ranging 12-20 dollars a night. That’s the only downfall to this property.

Filthy room

Have stayed here before and it’s been great. This time however, checked in to dirty room, crumbs in sheets, personal belongings to previous guests still in room! When I told reception, they promised to have room cleaned and one night refunded. They didn’t. Came back to dirty room with only half the towels replaced. No toilet paper, garbage still full, beds not made (so same dirty sheets!!). Also the TV didn’t work. Reception brought us towels and didn’t acknowledge that room was still a mess. No apology, so we got to stay in dirty room again. I even showed them photos!
