Top Western Michigan University Hotel Reviews

Delta Hotels by Marriott Kalamazoo Conference Center

8/10 Good

"No microwave in the room"

avid hotel Kalamazoo East by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The young woman at the desk when we checked in and out was wonderful. We were an hour early- it was raining and we just wanted to relax for an hour before going to Galesburg to meet friends for dinner. She found us a room on an upper floor that was ready. She was efficient and friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. It did not have a microwave but there was one in the lobby, along with 24 hour fresh brewed coffee, cocoa and juice access. We really liked the sparkling water availability along with still water. Entrance to the hotel is a little tricky being just off a traffic circle. We missed our exit from the circle when we were northbound but just turned around at the next intersection and it was easier approaching from the north. If we return to the area again we will stay here!"
