Valet was extremely accommodating upon arrival (i was that person in the phone juggling)…read moreFront desk was thorough and friendly. The room was outstanding. I felt special. Loved sundown in that corner pocket room on the top floor. Bed comfy. WC cute decor, loved the Spanish shower. Decor of whole hotel is super cute.

The Graduate is the only hotel I'll stay in anymore when I return to East Lansing, where I grew up…read more The level of service is outstanding, and they are always so excited to see my chihuahua walk through the lobby. Parking can be a bit of a challenge during peak periods when the valets get busy, but I've found that they are more than happy to give you your keys and point you to your car down the block if the wait is too long. The rooms are simply gorgeous, with so many little details like the local zip codes on the bureau. It really feels like someone who knows East Lansing carefully curated each piece for the rooms. There is a great restaurant and coffee shop on site and literally everything you could want within a short walk in downtown EL, including a Biggby Coffee next door. The overall value is extraordinary - for comparison, pricing is comparable or less than the Hampton Inn five minutes away but a FAR more stylish and upscale experience.
