Top Wharton Center Hotel Reviews

Hyatt House Lansing University Area

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Comfort Inn Okemos - East Lansing

8/10 Good

"Was a really nice stay over 3 nights. Breakfast, although small, was good. However, we did find 2 socks from a previous guest around the room. Also, one VERY HELPFUL recommendation: we had an accessible room because I'm currently on a knee scooter. However, for that room, a door opener button would be very helpful, as the room doors are extremely heavy. If I was in a wheelchair, there's no way I would have had the leverage to open it up. Also, there weren't nearly enough handicap parking spots with the convention center right next door. There was an event there Saturday night and the handicap parking spots were all taken when we returned from our event. Otherwise, accessibility features were adequate. Thank you."

Hyatt Place Lansing - East

8/10 Good

"Solid hotel near the airport, downtown, and MSU. Multiple restaurant options nearby and close to the highway. The property is well maintained and in good shape. Parking is inexpensive and convenient. It would be nice to have more options for snacks and such available for purchase in the lobby, as Courtyard Marriotts have. Also, there is only one water bottle filling station located in the gym, which is less than convenient."

SpringHill Suites by Marriott East Lansing University Area

10/10 Excellent

"I wish breakfast were better. Coffee/tea is great."

Wild Goose Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were so helpful and sweet!"

Marriott East Lansing at University Place

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful staff. Joe at the front desk needs a raise for sure. We love this place!"
