We have stayed at this HI Express a few times on our way up to Midland from Indiana. It's a nice new hotel. It is right off I-69 near Charlotte, MI just a little bit outside of Lansing. It also has a Meijer store right next door. It is a great place for an overnight stop. They have great beds. The rooms are spacious with a microwave and small fridge in the room.

The breakfast is typical for a HI Express. Fruit, yogurt, eggs, biscuits and gravy, muffins/bagels/toast. It is fine. It's not a full breakfast, but it has enough options for the family.

The pool is a little small, but there is a nice hot tub.

The service was good. They were kind and helped with a little noise problem with some kids upstairs.

Overall, this a good stopover hotel on your way "Up North".

I booked my reservation through American Express. I was a little scared of my next trip to Charlotte since the last two years I stayed at the Comfort Inn, first at the Super 8. I was surprised how brand new and clean the hotel was from the parking lot to check in to getting to my Executive King Room that our agent booked. I was staying to interview at Michigan State University and it was a great price for only being 20 minutes away. My room had a fridge and microwave so I was able to go next door to Meijers Grocery Store and buy some evening snacks even though they had cookies and a great breakfast upon my check out the following day.

Staff was above average, I got my wake up call, and had no house keeping problems and those are two items I always need for a great stay.

Pool area was clean, hot tub was nice, fitness room is clean and well kept up, the elevator is a little loud but overall a great hotel.

I will be staying at this hotel when my daughter graduates next Spring from MSU, for the upcoming football season, and all my other hotel needs!

This is a great Holiday Inn express. We stayed here in May for a MSU graduation. It is a bit further than most hotels in the area but very clean. The pool was great for kids as well.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Charlotte on our road trip from Canada. We had not booked due to our schedule. This hotel is next to a large Meijer store and gas station. The suite itself was pretty clean - although it did smell, even though it was meant to be a non-smoking room. The air conditioning unit was very noisy. We needed the heat on as it was quite cold but the noise made it difficult to sleep! The other issue that we had was the flood lights outside. When we pulled the curtains the gaps around them meant a lot of light flooded in - again making it difficult to sleep. The shower was disappointing. Holiday Inn Express Ad campaign talks of the wonderful showers unfortunately the water pressure was so low that rather than a invigorating shower it came out as a trickle.
Breakfast was good - the usual standard cold choices (cereal, fruit etc) with the Holiday Inn Express signature cinnamon rolls.
Just an OK stay but certainly seemed better than the alternatives in the area.
