“Our Favorite Lansing Area Motel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2011

We have stayed at a few motels in the Lansing area over the last several years when we visit our son who attends Michigan State University. We like this one the best and in fact have spent several weeks here.

What we like best:

- Inexpensive
- Within walking distance of Meijer's superstore - like a super Walmart, only nicer, with large grocery story and lots of fresh produce
- Refrigerator/freezer and microwave in the room that run quietly
- Good WiFi reception
-TV is enclosed in cabinet, which mutes noise from other rooms. TV includes some cable channels
- Little road noise: the motel is far back from the nearest major street and not next to a highway
- Within walking distance of major cinema complex, Target, lots of stores
- Within short drive or bus ride of public library, MSU, Lansing downtown/capitol
--Comfortable room overall, including beds.
--This is a park and walk motel--park only a few feet from the front (outside) door of your
room, making this very convenient.
Some drawbacks:
- If you get noisy neighbors, you can hear them. If your neighbors leave the motel super early, and thus start their car, you will hear them. Either turn up the heating/cooling to drown out the sound or sleep with ear plugs.
--The motel needs to be more vigilant in keeping outside clean--lots of scrap paper blows
around out front, there are three shopping carts, one overturned, out in front of the motel--giving this the appearance of a place in decline.

Overall, the motel was worth the price, we recommend it

“hard to keep sleeping”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2011

called to inform hotel clerk that sink in room 110 did not drain. did not care. stayed 2 nights sink remained clogged. Later that morning, around 330 am about 10 police officers with guns pulled, and machine guns aimed at room 114 were screaming and yelling for several minutes for occupant to open door and come out with hands up. suspect was handcuffed. Armed robbery at a Meijers. Constant noise and activity for the next 60-90 minutes,
Who needs an alarm clock? Could pass as an no tell-motel. Will not ever spend money again at America's Best.

We are very sorry that you had a bad experience at our hotel. There is no excuse for not fixing the sink as soon as we were informed and we are very sorry about that. We have reviewed your comments with our entire staff so this will not happen again in the future. Unfortunately one of our guest did decide to rob the meijer across the street and we could not control that decision. Fortunately, our very competent police department took care of the situation as soon as possible and removed this guest from our property.

“bad deal”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2007
2
people found this review helpful

Booked by hotel's modern low rise hotel ad. Nothing is further from the truth. There is definitely nothing modern about it. You can see through the doors outside because of the gap. Old wooden painted vanity was showing rusty nails through. Ceiling had several leak stains. Clear old fashioned ceiling lights were loaded with bugs. The floor creaked as though you were walking on a plywood plank.There does not appear to be any upkeep to the property. The only plus side was the staff. We actually feel bad they work at this rundown property. Certainly does not deserve to be an Econo Lodge.

“Worst hotel I've ever seen”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2006
2
people found this review helpful

This hotel is in a sketchy area off of the freeway behind a body shop. It is a one story building with bars covering the windows for "decorative purposes." There is a strong musty smell in the rooms. The rooms are very old and outdated. We found spiders in each of the room corners. There was a big hole in the wall, partially repaired. The windows, door, and wall were dirty. We ended up checking out shortly after we arrived. It is very low quality, even for EconoLodge standards.
