Within 3 hours of checking in, the police pulled up with multiple vehicles and stayed there for over an hour, arresting some people that were hanging in the parking lot. Within those same 3 hours, I got offered to buy drugs more than once while walking around the premise.
Police did rounds each other night of my stay, making the place feel unsafe. Huge signs inside the room warning customers to double lock doors and that they're not responsible for stolen goods or if anything happens.
I also got approached in the parking lot of a Walmart 2mins away from the hotel by a dude asking for 16$ to get a cab home to a town 1hr out of Chicago, saying he would give me back 100$ the next day. He tried to convince me for half an hour, telling me he got arrested for an unpaid ticked and his vehicle got impounded. A few seconds after I left him (without giving him money), some other guy approached me telling me this dude was on crime watchers groups on Facebook and that he always does things like that in the area to get money, that he runs scams on facebook etc...
Half the lights and outlets in the room didn't work, bed was crooked, carpets were sticky.
But I mean, what do you expect at 160USD for 4 nights? :P
PS: Google crime in lansing, there was a shooting in the LA Fitness parking lot right next to the hotel a few weeks ago. Lot of shootings in that area.
