Hyatt Place Lansing - East
I asked when checkout was because I had a late night meeting. Front desk told me checkout was at 12:00. Why would I have two separate house keepers barge into my room at 9:30 and 10:00. Tv was also extremely dim to where it couldn’t be viewed. Not that I care about the tv just the principle.

Clarion Pointe East Lansing University Area
People are nice and friendly, 2 beds with microwave and refrigerator in the room. The air conditioner on and off, a bit noisy, and it blew the curtain flying. The door cannot close automatically, need double check.
