Top Western Michigan University Hotel Reviews

avid hotel Kalamazoo East by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and comfortable room, nice breakfast, pleasant and friendly staff. I would recommend it, and would stay here again if I return to Kalamazoo."

Homewood Suites by Hilton Kalamazoo-Portage

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good, but your typical hotel continental breakfast. They had a good, fall spiced cider in the lobby and complimentary cookies were available at the front desk. The hot tub was clean and comfortable to use, but the towels in the pool area are tiny and you can't take them out of the pool area. Room was very spacious. Parking was easy and plentiful. We would stay here again."

Holiday Inn Express and Suites Kalamazoo West by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Beds comfortable, room quiet and great black out curtains. Nice staff!"

Best Western Plus Kalamazoo Suites

8/10 Good

"I would have given 5 stars but when we entered our room there was water on the tile floor. We determined that it was coming from the refrigerator. I reported that to the front desk and was given old towels to mop the water up with and then was told to turn the refrigerator temp colder. We discovered the refrig had been turned off and that the water came from the freezer part defrosting. I feel that this scenario was odd and that we shouldn't have been expected to mop up the water ourselves. Breakfast buffet was good except for the eggs. They were weird. Otherwise we were satisfied with our stay."

Hilton Garden Inn Kalamazoo

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place with friendly staff. Even though its right downtown the parking was right across the street from the hotel which was very convenient."

Staybridge Suites Kalamazoo by IHG

8/10 Good

"Very clean. Great property. The only bad experience was breakfast- they were still trying to get items made and out at 8:45 when breakfast was supposed to start at 7am. What limited items were available were not good."

Extended Stay America Select Suites - Kalamazoo - West

8/10 Good

"Fine for our one night stay. We visited the restaurants close by."

Upjohn House Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We actually got moved from this property to the Henderson Castle because when we checked in they off an upgrade for no extra charge. The castle was beautiful. The food was excellent and staff were wonderful."
