We stayed here with our dog for three nights while visiting my wife's family. The first room we were given, their "standard" room, was narrow and dark. Not worth the $100+ rate. When I asked for something else, I was given a vast jacuzzi suite for another 30 bucks or so. It turned out to be quite serviceable and provided plenty of room for the three of us. While located in a sprawl mall area outside of East Lansing, it did back onto a wooded area and was reasonably quiet. It's a great location if you are travelling with your dog -- a residential area begins on the next block, and there is a great trail system that begins about a 1/2 mile away. As usual with Hamptons, the breakfast was not bad, way better than most econotel offerings. The coffee was unusually good, and it was nice to see at least a nod to the environment with biodegradable cups and plates. (Is it really that more expensive to use washable mugs and plates and real flatware?) The staff was helpful and cooperative.

When I travel for business, Hampton Inn is usually my 'go to' place. I know exactly what I'm getting and there are rarely any surprises...and that's a good thing.

This property is very conveniently located to the MSU campus...5 minute drive. In addition, there are plenty of great restaurants that deliver right to the hotel. Also, there's a Meier's and a Kroger on either side of the property.

A word about the service. When I checked in, the tv wouldn't work. After calling the front desk, less than 2 minutes later (really!), someone was in my room to fix the problem.

Finally, the thing that sold me on this property is that it's dog friendly. More and more hotels are starting to wake up to the fact that people want and like to take their dogs with them. Business travel for me is rarely that enjoyable. But having my dogs with me changed that. The staff was very accommodating to my dogs. As we walked the hall to go outside, the staff even made them feel welcome...nice touch! In addition, the hotel location is perfect for walking your dog. You leave the hotel and very quickly you can be on a very quiet street in a residential neighborhood. Nice!

All in all a great hotel in a great location. My dogs Duke and Daisy said they loved it and we'll be back!

We booked two rooms here in late August to attend a wedding. The location is very convenient to the university, shopping and the freeway. Staff was helpful, rooms were clean and spacious, breakfast was good. Eggs not so much, but the waffles made up for it. Exercise room is about the size of a closet.

Beautifully renovated hotel, close to everything with an indoor pool/spa and comp. breakfast.. overall a great experience and loved the fact my english bulldog got to stay wiht me at no additional cost. Plenty of free parking is available and the rooms include flat screens, granite countertops and comfortable bedding. I will be back.
