Needed a quick 1 night stay for a show at MSU. Had found on another site for a low rate. Everything was great about it. Comfy bed. Free mini breakfast bar that had a cool waffle mix you poured into a cup then into a waffle iron (I don't get out much haha).

Facility seems to have been recently renovated. The selling point for me was a 100% non-smoking facility.

Staff was very nice. When I booked thru their website few weeks ago, I got a certain rate using AAA discount. However, as I was entering the hotel street, under the hotel sign board, there was a "Special rate" board, which was much less than what I booked for. Check-in time, I asked the girl at the counter and she readily reduced my rate to the advertised rate, without any fuss. Nice!

It is a 2-storied facility with indoor corridors. Apparently there is no elevator. Even though I said I didn't care for a specific floor, I was assigned a first floor room anyway. Very nice fresh smelling room and clean bathroom. There was only a shower (no tub), though I don't know if this was for all rooms or only some.

Breakfast was decent - you can make your own waffles; there was hot scrambled egg, breakfast meat, boiled eggs etc. along with all the other traditional continental stuff. The hotel attendants were nice and courteous.

I did not try out the high-speed internet, so can't comment on that.

Although the service was pleasant enough, the facility is in need of serious renovation. There is no elevator and, if you prefer a room off the ground floor, trudging your things up a stairway and down long halls is no way to start. The internet access in the room would not connect the entire night I was there. There is a single computer for public use in the lobby that was always in use. It made working in the evening difficult, if not impossible. Bare bones. Old rooms.

We stay in Okemos about 5 times a year and I will never return here. While the breakfast was very good (fruit would have been a great addition though) and the rooms were clean (though the pillows are awful) - the worst part were the guests. The first night we had to contend with high school basketball players in town for the State Championships. Actually, they were not bad - in fact very quiet compared to the group from Jackson State. These students were loud, uncontrollable, rude, and intimidating. When I can't let my daughter walk down the hallway because of the comments guests are making, there's a problem. The staff tried unsuccessfully to control them, and luckily were able to move us about midnight. The clerk did promise us a discount on the room which we never received. In the future, I'll find another hotel in Okemos/East Lansing. Unless you like to be in the middle of massive crowds of teenagers, stay in a smaller hotel that doesn't seem to cater to large groups.
