Top Western Michigan University Hotel Reviews

Staybridge Suites Kalamazoo by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, staff is very friendly."

Hampton Inn Kalamazoo

10/10 Excellent

"Charity & Kristy were truly helpful. Christie even send me messages to ask how the stay was going. A quick comment: the coffee served is too light even the dark roast. Charity followed up on my request and so got a much better coffee before my wife & I left the h Hotel."

Radisson Plaza Hotel at Kalamazoo Center

10/10 Excellent

"By far the best hotel I’ve stayed at my entire life. Hotel was clean. Staff was friendly and helped with the fire connection. Food is very convenient. A great day would recommend it."

Best Western Plus Kalamazoo Suites

10/10 Excellent

"I’m looking for a cheaper yet nice property. I can stay at when I come to Kalamazoo to visit my WMU Student. I’ve stayed here twice now and it’s clean, the staff has been kind, the breakfast is good. We did sit in the hot tub this past time and it seemed a little questionable on its cleanliness… But it worked fine. Quiet property with well lit parking lot. Will definitely stay here many times in the future."

Springhill Suites By Marriott Kalamazoo Portage

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were very clean and nicely laid out and updated. Staff were all helpful from the concierge‘s all the way to the housekeeping staff there are a few restaurants nearby so even within walking distance and ample parking on the property for cars, buses trucks, etc. My only complaint is that the pool and hot tub were both over chlorinated to the point where when you walked into the pool room, your eyes immediately started burning. Other than that, I give the entire experience in overall 4 out of 5 stars."

Holiday Inn Express and Suites Kalamazoo West by IHG

8/10 Good

"The pool was broken, one of the two elevators was broken, and our phone had no cord. The bathroom was clean but the wallpaper was marked up."
