Graduate East Lansing

The hotel was wonderful. We chose this hotel because my wife GRADUATED MSU a long time ago, and she wanted to visit the campus again with us to share her feelings. It is her back to school trip. My teenage daughter said it was the best hotel in the city area. The hotel looks antique and cozy. She took several photos. We had one small episode to share. My 10 years old boy left his favorite penguin doll in the hotel room. He is my boy, who acts like other boys of those ages. And we catched that 3 hours later of the checkout. At that time, we just finished the tour of the campus and hit the road. So, we had to return to the hotel but we couldn't find it even though we spent almost 30 minutes. We were out of time because we had to take long long trip to home, and we couldn't wait any more. So we were dependent on hotel guys. They finally found it, and they are sending it to us for free. We are very thanks to them. If you want to recall your school memories, it may be a good choice to stay at the graduate. I heard that there are more.

Love the themed Michigan/MSU decor! Rooftop bar has awesome views of MSU campus. Drinks were great. Coffee/Cafe was nice.

We SO enjoyed our stay at the Graduate! We actually looked up other locations and can’t wait to visit others. The aesthetic was very pleasing, and fun to notice the details and small things that you can’t experience at a large corporate hotel chain. Beyond that, we brought our two dogs and they really made us feel welcome and our dogs felt comfortable there. Our room was right near the elevator which was the only main issue, so they did tend to bark here and there whenever they head footfalls or chatting as folks came to and from the elevator, so a room further down the hall might have benefited everyone. We were pleased by the location, pleasantly surprised that we came during East Lansing’s Pride event which was a blast, and so many cute parks, spots on campus, and other sights to see in walking distance. Our only real gripe was no free parking options. Other than that we really had a fabulous stay.

The theming and views were great. Location was also great. We were visiting Michigan State University and it was directly across the street. Coffee shop downstairs and Rooftop bar was convenient and the food and drinks were really good.

Great coffee bar in the middle of the lobby. rooftop bar has good stuff but not enough seating Friday and Saturday night but do let you take food and drink to your room. Close to the student union at MSU and lots of restaurants as well as Walgreens and Target. So much thought went into the details of the hotel and I appreciate them. It is a new and beautiful hotel! The bathroom is huge and the shower is too! The beautiful wallpaper throughout every part of the hotel must have been expensive vs just painting but makes it so pretty.
