This is an older Candlewood. The rooms and decor are older, so expect what comes along with that. Scuff marks and the like. That said, our room was very clean with plenty of space for a couple and two preschool kids in the one bedroom suite. We did have to pay $20 extra for the upgrade because we bid through... More

Great hidden gem plus access to the Club. Right near campus especially if youre looking for a place to stay for the games. Also access to the forsest hills golf club. Sunday brunch at the club is a must.

I stayed here for one night as my "normal" Lansing hotel was booked. All in all it was not a bad place. The water pressure in the shower was TERRIBLE. The other little things that bugged me were to start with there was no coffee available in the lobby. I like to get a cup on my way out the... More

Stayed here in Feb while in town for a conference. Really liked the convenience of the kitchen. Enjoyed recliner in room. Had a nice view of the golf course and the scenery would probably be great in spring, summer and fall. Would stay here again.

I had a nice stay here last month. My friend was married at the University Club which was connected to the hotel (a big plus).

Very disappointed from the moment we stepped into the lobby. Our room was located righ next to the laundry room and all we could hear was the humming off the dryers and the loud mouths of the employees. Our view was the underneath of bridge just 20ft from the window. The place was filthy and had a terrible odor. I... More

I love the Candlewood Suites chain; have never had a bad experience when staying with them all over the country. But this place was amazing! The hotel is on the Michigan State campus right next to a golf course; really beautiful. The hotel common areas are bright, colorful, and extremely clean. There were several luggage trolleys available at all hours.... More
