MSU downtown hotel
Was here for four nights while meeting colleagues at MSU. The graduate is conveniently located to walk around campus and dine around "downtown" East Lansing. Breakfast (not included) was good. Parking was valet only. Very nice rooms, and friendly, efficient staff.

Nice hotel in a great location
Stayed for one night for a meeting on MSU's campus. Ideal location and a really nice hotel. The art work is great, rooms and bathroom are modern and clean. Only downside was a 50 minute wait for my car in the morning.

No room even with reservation
We reserved a room and had a confirmation. We revised the stay removing 1 day and they cancelled the entire reservation. Suggested we stay at The Marriott nearby which was double the rate. Had to send my employee via uber to another hotel almost 2 miles away in the middle of the night.

Holiday hours were a bummer but love the Graduate
We decided to treat ourselves to a stay over the July 4th weekend near our famliy in Lansing... I was really drawn by the location and amenities of the hotel. Unfortunately the in hotel coffee shop was closed on Saturday, July 4th, as well as the rooftop where we were hoping to relax after the day with family. I totally understand giving Team Members a break over the holiday with the local coffee shops, yet with the hotel industry being open daily, was hoping they'd offer more over this holiday weekend. Still do love the concept and design of the Graduate Hotels in general.
