What a fun property to stay at. Great location and fun, eclectic decor. We loved seeing all the different floors. Valet service prompt and easy. Staff friendly and helpful. We loved it.
Wonderful property! The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooftop bar was awesome. We rented the bikes at no charge and explored the neighborhood and that was fun!
What a pleasant stay! Nice attentive staff, outstanding, well-designed and comfortable rooms. I moved from another 4+ star hotel in Lansing to The Graduate because of a previous visit. There is an outstanding rooftop bar with outdoor seating.
Plus you have ample restaurants, bars, and MSU right in front of you.
I highly recommend The Graduate.
I’d never stayed at a graduate hotel before, but I was so delighted and I will look for them in my future travels. What a beautiful place and the staff was so welcoming it made my stay in East Lansing wonderful.
We had an amazing stay (as usual) at The Graduate in East Lansing. This is our favorite place to stay when in the area. The room, amenities, and staff are second to none. We look forward to our next trip MSU! GO GREEN!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Love this place from the Magic Johnson art to all the great little design details in the public spaces and rooms. Staff was great, location was great.
We stayed here after our wedding. We were worried as we would be checking in after midnight. We tried to communicate this with the staff but some of them were very rude. Check-in did go smoothly, though. But not an exceptionally friendly atmosphere. Very nice room!
