We have to go downstate to the VA hospital a lot. Sometimes we are lucky & there is a play or a show at MSU's Wharton Center & we'll drive on to East Lansing. But as a University town, it is hard to find a GOOD motel/ hotel at a reasonable price. Enter Howard Johnson East Lansing! It is on... More

NO ELEVATOR- huh? The toilet ran all night, there was hair in the shower,and when we went to gather our things to leave we found dirty black socks under the bed ruffle along with broken plastic drinking cups which had some dark liquid stains--YUCK! Yes it may be close to MSU but....I will definitely NOT be going back to this... More

I didn't expect much, given the price for the room, but the room was very nice and very clean. I especially liked the roomy bathroom area outside of the room with the toilet and shower. The wireless was good--not slow. The breakfast was typical--bagels, bread, fruit, juice, instant oatmeal. The folks at the front desk deserve a round of applause--helpful... More

We had to come up there for a tragic family funeral. My husband & I are smokers and wanted a place with outside access to be able to smoke, which we did during the 13 and half snow storm~ From checking in with Adam who already had the fridge in our room, to Nate keeping the sidewalk outside of are...

After reading mixed reviews about this hotel, my husband and I decided to give it a try primarily because of its close proximity to Michigan State University. Although far from the most luxurious place we've ever stayed, it was perfectly acceptable, clean and comfortable. We did book an inside room, as suggested by others on this site, which did seem...

Recently, I did stay over at the Howard Johnson's Inn in East Lansing, MI. When I did arrive there, I was very happy about the hotel. I had a jacuzzi suite, and it had a small kitchennet, 2 tv's, free local phone, free contential breakfast, exercise equipment, whirlpool, swimming pool. When I did stay there, I did travel by Amtrak,... More

Stayed one night here, wish I had read the reviews first. Our son is a student at MSU and this place is very convenient for that. The room was clean and neat, but uncomfortably small. A double room is pretty much wall to wall bed. We ended up with an outside room, as this was all that was available on... More

Great spot for an overnight stay, or to spend a couple of days. Here are the good and bad from my 2-night stay. I'll include some of my observations as well (things that did not affect me either way) to help others who might be considering a stay in this hotel. Good: Staff was exceptionally helpful and accommodating -- well... More

Spent one night here. The hotel is on the border of Lansing and East Lansing, and it's not really walkable to any points of interest. The hotel was clean, and I was able to check in quite early. Free wireless is a plus. The gym didn't really amount to much--a treadmill, Nautilus, and elliptical, sitting right between the pool and... More

Stayed here for four days with my husband. Booked it as had stayed in very expensive hotel for the previous six nights and wanted to stretch budget further as we were away for three weeks and wanted to stay in another pricey place later on in the trip.
