I stayed here for two nights, the staff were friendly and rooms were clean. Elton John concert was playing so the sound could be heard until it finished. More

The entrance to this hotel is really hard to find. The sign is small and the entrance is behind the building way off the main street and is mixed in with the front entrance to a parking garage. I mentioned to the lady at the front desk about the challenge to find the entrance, she rudely stated "it's no harder... More

I stayed here for a weekend trip. The hotel was clean, decor is updated and staff is friendly. The food at Olives was also good. Unforunately, it was also the same weekend as a billiards tournament so it was quite crowded and loud. On Friday evening a group kept me up until 3 am partying. It was also extremely smoky... More

Parking was a bit of a challenge, but in all fairness, Elton John was in town. Only two elevators, which only had two speeds, slow and stop, but again, the place was jammed with concert goers. I'm not sure that is a good excuse though, as it is connected to the Altel Center by skywalk, so one would expect they... More

My daughter attends college here, so we have been frequent guests of this hotel. My favorite room is a corner suite on the 9th floor; it's expensive, but worth the price. You have a rooftop deck larger than most hotel suites, with tables and chairs and spectacular views of the river or the town. The beds are comfy, the linens... More

Thank you for the nice review of our property. It is always nice to hear that we have accomplished our goal and made our guests stay exceptional. Try coming in on 2nd Street and turning on Hickory St (or Civic Center Plaza, same street) the hotel will be on your left. More

Stayed here in the month of December for our grandson's graduation from MSU. We arrived late and the front desk staff was very nice and checked us into our room quickly. I was very pleasantly surprised at the size of the room, very large compared to other Hilton Garden Inns we have stayed in over the last five years. The... More

We spent one night in this hotel prior to attending the graduation exercises at the local university. We were checked in quickly and went up to see our room. Upon arriving in our room we heard loud voices in the connecting room and knew we did not want to stay in this room. We called the front desk to change... More

Stayed here in early December for one night while in town on business. This hotel is very clean and comfortable. I'll be the first to admit I'm obsessive when it comes to having a clean hotel room and have a bedbug phobia. This hotel passed the white glove test and bug check with flying colors. It also passed the test... More
