Top Western Michigan University Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn Kalamazoo

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very pleasant and helpful."

Courtyard Kalamazoo Portage

8/10 Good

"We were surprised there was no mini fridge or microwave. The Courtyards we’ve stayed at before have had those. There was a big tear in the upper side of the small couch and the curtains were broken where the closure was. I think they were understaffed. The gal who checked us in, was very nice, but had cleaning gloves on as we must have taken her away from a cleaning job. We’ve always liked Courtyards, but I’m not sure we’ll choose one again. They did have a great shower head."

Delta Hotels by Marriott Kalamazoo Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptionally large hotel, we kept getting lost! Nice to have an on-site restaurant and bar. They have a large indoor pool that while we were there was absolutely overwhelmed with kids. The room, once we found it, was good. The door did not automatically close and latch, so we had to be careful to do that. Forgot to tell management the next day. Clean hotel, comfortable room and furnishings."

Springhill Suites By Marriott Kalamazoo Portage

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay"

Home2 Suites by Hilton Kalamazoo Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel and room were very clean and the staff mostly helpful. The breakfast was a little lacking in organization, but overall good. Unique to this property is a salt water pool, while I wasn’t there long enough to try it out, I will make a point if I’m ever there again. Looked very inviting."
