Clarion Pointe East Lansing University Area
The room seemed recently updated, new window was especially noticeable being this was a motel not a hotel. Bed and pillows were nice also. However, although I had to sign a waiver that I would not smoke, the room did smell smoky. I’ve stayed in worse but I’ve also stayed in much better
