Hampton Inn East Lansing

The rooms are spotless and the bedding Is in very good condition. Well lit parking lot with ample parking. It’s located on a side street off a major street so a person won’t hear traffic noises. The front desk staff and other employees are genuinely nice people.

This hotel creaked like an old house. I heard my upstairs neighbor each time he took a step. As a light sleeper, this was frustrating. The work out room was extra tiny as well.
On the bright side, friendly staff, clean room, and not too far from good chain restaurants and an outdoor mall.

The front desk staff was super nice. We were given a room on the first floor. It was very noisy, and the guests in the adjoining room had their TV on so loud, there may as well not have even been a wall between our rooms. The weirdest thing, though, was the bed pillows. They were small and square! Yes, square! They were the size of toss pillows you’d put on your couch. Very weird. The small size was uncomfortable to sleep on.

The Internet sucks and I called the front desk, she answers rudely saying that she can’t do anything about it. They have a $ 4.95 higher speed internet option. I asked if purchasing that would make any difference in the speed to which she said she doesn’t know. Why the heck are you working here then? The most stupid thing is when I read signs at the front desk saying that the customer is what matters to them.

Very nice hotel, everything is Spartan themed which is great. Continental breakfast with a good selection. The bagel toppers are delicious. Very convenient location. I am only upset about how expensive it was to stay here. $ 200 a night? Not worth that at all. I only stayed because I was splitting with friends and our options were limited. They increased the rate for the Michigan vs. Michigan State game weekend, but that is outrageous. Helpful staff, but just way too expensive for a night.

Solid place to stay the night. I stayed on a Tuesday and Thursday during the same week. The first room I had was very noisy. It sounded like running water and was so loud it woke me up twice during the night. The second night I didn’t have any issues.
The best thing about this hotel for business travel is that it’s in the same parking lot as a Meijer. I walked over for a nail file one night. That was a very nice feature. I plan to stay here again the next time I’m in the area for business.

I’m tempted to say 3 stars but «at least there are no bed bugs» doesn’t quite merit that.
This Hampton Inn location does a lot wrong:
1) Price. $ 185 for a room on a Tuesday night? Have to be kidding. You aren’t the Marriott.
2) No housekeeping. I had a two night stay most recently, and when i returned to my room at 5pm, it wasnt cleaned. Dirty towels still on the floor, bed not made, nothing.
3) Upon close inspection, you will discover they don’t clean their sheets thoroughly. While I didn’t notice any stains or anything ultra-​gross, I turned down my duvet to find hairs in my bed and on the duvet cover. Kind of nasty.
4) There are maybe 10 – 12 parking spaces in the front of the property. Before getting your room key, this means you’re walking around the entire building (in Michigan winters) to get to the entrance. Just seems poorly designed, and not like other Hampton Inns I’ve stayed at. This is a minor gripe, mind you, and I didn’t weigh this that heavily.
No bedbugs though. I guess that’s something.

This is one busy hotel. And they should know that. There are about 18 parking spots in the front of the building. Plus the 5 or 6 that people make up themselves. When I arrived there were 3 cars under the canopy at the front door. So I went to the back of the building. With luggage in tow I get to the door and it is locked as you cannot open it without a key. Which you would get if you could park in the front of the building to check in? I came to my room after a busy day and it was around 4:30. Only to find that the maid was still two rooms away. So I went to dinner so I would not be in her way. At 6 my room had not been cleaned and I had a lot of paperwork to do so I could be ready for the next day. I took a bag with me to use the computer in the lobby and when I opened the door she greeted me, looked into the room and said. Oh! I thought I already did that room! Really. I don’t have time for this and I went on my way. As I was doing my work I heard someone say that they bought a new dog and are staying here until it is potty trained. WTF! I finally got to my room at a little after 7 and I had about 3 hours of paperwork to do. This is totally unacceptable and I will question corporate about staying at a Hilton property in the future.

I’ve stayed here a couple of times as I have a client in the area and have been satisfied with my experiences. I found the location to be central to anywhere you need to go in the Capital City area. The staff is accomodating and friendly. Breakfast and wi-​fi is complimentary. Rooms are your standard Hampton — nice enough to be comfortable. The only thing that I would have expected there would be on-​site coin laundry. My OCD makes me want to not take home dirty laundry so no on-​site coin laundry is a disappointment. But otherwise, a-​okay, especially since the price is right.

This property is located just Off Hwy 127 not far from the Campus of Michigan State University. It has a Applebees Restaurant on site and parking is not a problem. For shoppers it is a ¼ mile east of the Eastwood Town Center. We have stayed there numerous times and check in has always been speedy. Theyof course have a hot breakfast in the morning and coffee/​tea all day long. If you need a place for business or pleasure this property seem to fit right in given the good location.
