The room was so spacious and so clean. The bathroom was spotless and the shower pressure was excellent. After a long day of tailgating and an MSU football game, got the best rest to enjoy Sunday with our son at MSU.

Breakfast was good and the staff was pleasant and attentive. However, with a significant rise in latex allergies (my wife included), having several large latex balloon arrangements as soon as you walk in the door should be reconsidered.
