Top Grand River Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Lansing - East

10/10 Excellent

"Every time I visit, it's a wonderful experience."

Clarion Pointe East Lansing University Area

10/10 Excellent

"From the moment I checked in, the staff was friendly, engaging and gave off a positive energy that was refreshing and appreciated. I was in town on business and wasn’t prepared to stay the night, so I was not in the greatest mood, but the Front Desk Clerk was amazing! The next morning I interacted with housekeeping and they were also so kind and professional. Will definitely stay here again."

Best Western Okemos/East Lansing Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"The room was in good condition overall. The sink drain was stuck almost closed and needed some adjusting. The toilet ran after being flushed, but it turned off once you shifted the handle. The individual Keurig in the room was great for making coffee without needing to go out. The only real issue was overflowing trash cans outside and a few beer bottles on the lawn. Staff could do a better job of cleaning up around the property."
