Hotels near Western Michigan University College of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Kalamazoo

It's a great hotel I've stayed at mutilpe times while living in the Kalamazoo area!!

Very friendly staff. Very clean. Will be back

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.

I need to have an option that reads “subpar”. I wouldn’t say it was poor by any means. But for a Bonvoy property, the rooms were blasé. Almost like the attempt to modernized was simply a coverup. Pros: The staff, the staff, and the staff. Reid, the bartender at the hotel bar was the highlight of our trip. Fascinating individual and hilarious. We will come back just to talk to him some more. Lobby / hotel bar are nicely done. Little grab and go food nook to get a snack. The beds and sheets are true Sheraton. I’d like to take them all home. Won’t fit in suitcase. Quiet room. Couldn’t hear much outside room. Maybe not much was happening. I, personally, like the loud fan on heat / ac unit. As soon as it goes this, we could hear the people in room next door having a conversation. No curtains but the black out shades worked wonderfully. Cons: See photos Closet in room was taken out and rack and safe just kinda hang there. Weird. Coffee maker in lobby is fancy! But the biggest cup that will fit is a baby styrofoam cup. There was liquid creamer though. Plus. The bathroom. So much potential. Dirty walls. Paper thin towels. Bleh. Elevator smelled terrible. Not hotel’s fault. Overall it was just meh for $170 a night. Expected a better room.

We were visiting family in Mattawan and needed a hotel for a few nights in the area. So we had a choice of Paw Paw to Kalamazoo. Unfortunately we read all the reviews of all the hotels in the area, and to be honest, considered cancelling the trip. According to the reviews we read there is not a single hotel that is not bed bug infested, filthy, etc. We were very concerned about the availability of any hotel in the area that wasn't a filthy dump with horrible service. We decided on this property based on a few bright spots in a few reviews, but were cautiously optimistic to not expect much. My only real question, all those reviews, what the hell!!! Turns out this hotel was not only a pretty nice property, but the staff were all super polite, accommodating, friendly and helpful. The negative reviews we read, Twilight zone or something? keep in mind, this is not a 5 star Hilton in Maui, but it certainly lives up to the standard expected, and then some. Check in was smooth and quick, the parking lot was clear of snow, entry was clear, the room stood out by virtue of the maintenance, usually in smaller hotel chains you see the wear and tear on the room, ours looked fresh and well maintained. The beds and covers were clean and fresh, the window black out drapes were perfect, and the room was quiet. The breakfast was more than expected, a great selection of hot and cold, including 2 waffle makers (large and small) And the ladies taking care were always cleaning and restocking. We had a full kitchen, and surprisingly even a dishwasher, all in great repair. Only 2 'negatives” we had a 1 bedroom suite and they have a small fan between the living room and bedroom, and if used is a bit noisy(we left the door open) and the pool was ice, my daughter and I always use the pool, and we did here, but it was just too cold. This was likely isolated (maybe a heater issue?) and we were disappointed, but the quality of the building, people and breakfast outweighed these minor negatives. Thank you!
