This hotel is run down. We had a second floor room, but included heavy cigarette smoke smell. There was also a hotel cigarette butt ashtray right outside our door. We came up for MSU Parent's weekend and booked the room back in May. All of the hotels in town we're sold out... so no other option.

Exterior is very run down, parking lot in poor condition, old cars in lot looked like people were living in them, key not required to enter the stairwells or the causeways, made the property feel unsafe

Smells unpleasantly, I can’t say smells dirty, just uncomfortable. The room is one very small piece, oldest ever been, it should be called motel so we don’t reserve if we are expecting an hotel.

This is a good value. The property is older but was overall clean and staff was friendly. Couple things that were not so great were that the day we checked in there was a strong chemical smell from the room. We had to run the AC for hours before that went away. Additionally during the night there was someone lifting heavy stuff and walking with heavy steps for many hours during the night starting around 11pm. I called the front desk multiple times and told them that is is not acceptable and that people need to sleep. They were apologetic but told me that they cannot do anything about the walking. On calling them again they said they will see what they can do and nothing changed. Finally around 1am I gave up and I had to put headphones on with white noise to go back to sleep.
