Hotels near Seelye Kia of Kalamazoo, Kalamazoo

Booked this hotel as a last minute emergency hotel switch. We accidental booked a seedy joint across the street (baymont). Seeing the clientele that went in and out we quickly searched and found this hotel. Called them around noon to book and was able to check in immediately. Which was important because we were from out of town and needed to get ready for a wedding. The hotel is updated and appeared very nice. Traveling with my wife and 16 month old kid. We found out that their pool was open which was a plus. There’s a small game room adjacent and a decent sized workout room with a cable machine, dumbbells, cardio equipment etc. it’s free to make a marriot bonvoy account and I think that why we got the early check in. Would book again if we were ever in the area. Do your research, there’s a reason why some hotels are $60/night.

worst hotel I have ever stayed at. The people were fine, however.... No lock on the door - it was ripped out and never replaced Shower was filthy, and the hand held device point directly at the wall and could not be aimed. The shower curtain was 6-8 inches to short allowing lots of water to pool on the tile The safety rail around the tub may not have been secured at one end. The electrical in the bathroom was terrible...the main light switch didn't have a cover, meaning with wet hands, one might have been able to touch live wires. The toggle switch besides the light switch was pushed into the wall and appeared non functional. The refrigerator was replaced with a odd looking replacement - I did not use. Under the fridge was a piece of chip board which was swelled up and appeared to be something someone could stub their toe and end up with a big sliver. The linens and bedding were very clean, however the pillows may have overstayed their welcome. The TV was about half the size of a normal set, and the programming available was terrible. The exterior window appeared to look like someone had tried to break in from out side, as the frame was bent. The privacy blinds were not long enough, so if you closed them them light came in from the ends etc. The windows had lost the seal some time ago. It looked they were very dirty but simply highly fogged over. Breakfast started at 7a, and I was there at 7:20 to find: toaster doesn't work at all. Tried to make a waffle, but the unit wasn't even warm. Only 1 of the 4 juices had anything in it. I tried the ”fakey” fried eggs, and they were ok, but surely not warm. I had a piece of sausage and could have pounded nails in with it. It the lobby the public bathrooms were locked, and the Ice water with lemon was out and all of the ice melted.

In town for a Junior roller derby bout. I’m so glad I chose this place. Fridge, microwave, plenty of outlets and USB ports. Everything is clean and pretty new looking. The gentleman who has been working today, Trey, was extremely welcoming. Besides that, I’ve seen him working hard all evening. I sat for a while in the lobby, drinking fresh coffee, reading a book and was very comfortable. I hope to be in town again and will stay here.

Food served at conference was not good, but food at Burdick’s hit the spot. TV did not work for 2 out of 4 nights. Toilets are so low to ground. Bathrooms are smallest I have ever seen for a hotel. Would have liked a lightweight blanket on bed, but beds are very comfy. We made hotel reservations early, but surprised we did not get bed type we reserved and in talking to others, they did not neither. Staff was all friendly.
