Clarion Pointe East Lansing University Area

Multiple reports of cigarette smell, dirty carpet and bathroom floor in some rooms; a few guests did report clean rooms, indicating inconsistent housekeeping standards.

Staff frequently described as friendly and helpful at check-in and breakfast, though isolated incidents (maintenance entering an occupied room, one report of unfriendly management) lowered consistency.

Consistently praised for proximity to MSU and convenience for events; downsides include a busy/noisy road and some parking/wayfinding issues, but overall location is a strong positive for guests visiting the area.

Numerous complaints about malfunctioning AC units (noisy, on/off, insufficient cooling), fridge/TV failures, small rooms, shower door issues and thin walls leading to noise from neighbors.

Basic amenities present (breakfast, in-room fridge/AC), but several guests noted absence of a pool and issues with parking lot safety/lighting; breakfast offerings were limited.

Multiple guests called the price reasonable and felt the room matched the booking; several noted that for the price the stay was acceptable despite trade-offs.

Breakfast is available and had positive notes (waffle machine) but is described as limited in selection and not always very fresh.

Mixed overall: good for short/niche stays (close to venue, reasonable price, friendly staff) but frequent operational and cleanliness issues reduce the experience for many guests.
