Holiday Inn Express and Suites Kalamazoo West by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff. Helped us with directions to a few places as we didn’t know the area and aren’t very tech savvy. Breakfast very good also. No complaints at all. Room great after we figured out that there was another shade to block out a light outside our window after questioning staff."

Staybridge Suites Kalamazoo by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at this hotel went above and beyond recently for an extended stay our family needed. Our father went into the hospital and we ended up staying here for 6+ weeks. My sister, brother and my mom as well as some friends and other family all came and went sometimes requiring extra rooms. Zeus was amazing and made sure we had everything we needed every day. Tiffany made sure my mom could stay in the same room throughout our stay. She always respond quickly with compassion and care for our situation. Tyanna was always kind and caring and demonstrated love every time we saw her. They treated us like family and cared about our dad even though they never got to meet him. We will never forget what this little home-away-from-home meant to us but mostly the people that took care of us."
