The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express and Suites Kalamazoo West By IHG

Comfy Convenience Near Kalamazoo's Live Music Scene

Modern and clean with a welcoming vibe, the Holiday Inn Express and Suites Kalamazoo West is a smart 3-star stay just a few miles from Kalamazoo’s most popular concert venues. With easy access to Miller Auditorium and Waldo Stadium (both under 4 miles away), this hotel offers the perfect location for fans catching a show and wanting a reliable, comfortable place to crash afterward. Amenities like an indoor pool, free WiFi, and a 24-hour front desk help make your stay that much easier.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just a short drive from live music action, meaning less time in traffic and more time enjoying the night. The hotel’s quiet Westgate Drive location offers a peaceful retreat after the show, and the 24-hour front desk makes late check-ins a breeze. With check-in from 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM, there's room to sleep in after a late night out.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a reliable base near the venue
  • Solo travelers chasing a dream concert
  • Couples making a weekend of the music scene
  • Fans who need a quiet place to recharge after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to sacrifice comfort

Food and Drink Options

Fuel up before or after the show with a continental or buffet breakfast served daily. While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel is conveniently located near local dining spots just a short drive or ride away. Craving something late? Grab a coffee from your in-room machine and snacks from nearby eateries or convenience stores.

Nightlife Options

The hotel itself is more of a calm retreat, ideal for winding down. But if you're still riding the post-show high, you're not far from Kalamazoo’s downtown bars, lounges, and late-night hangouts. Whether it’s a craft beer or a quiet nightcap, you’ll find something to suit your vibe within a short drive.

What People Say

Guests consistently mention how clean and comfortable the rooms are, with many loving the friendly staff and easy access to concert venues. The indoor pool and well-equipped fitness center also get praise, making it a great all-around option for a short stay.

Areas for Improvement

While the hotel doesn’t have an on-site restaurant or bar, most guests don’t mind thanks to the nearby dining options. A few guests noted that weekend stays can get busy, so booking ahead is a good idea—especially around big show dates.

The Bottom Line

A clean, quiet, and convenient choice for concert-goers who want comfort, location, and value—all without missing a beat.

Comfortable beds, friendly staff, great...

Liked: Location to where we were going was go old. Breakfast was good. Beds were comfortable. Room was large.
Disliked: One of the reasons we chose this hotel was that it had a pool. Pool had closed the day we got there with no warning. That was disappointing.

I would definitely stay again....

Liked: Breakfast bar was exceptional and the employees at the Breakfast bar were awesome. The rest of the staff were really trying but it was overwhelming due to it was during the power outages. Hotel was very clean.
Disliked: I booked a bigger room with two beds and when I got there they only had a room with one bed for me, my spouse and 2 grandchildren. So my granddaughter slept on the floor. Sadly they had no extra blankets for her.

Epic fail

Liked: They were without power when the booking was made, so it never registered as a booking. They waited until 10:00 PM on a Saturday night to tell me I had no accommodations right in the middle of a 4 hour drive to get to them. The booking was made at 1:00 in the afternoon.
Disliked: They should’ve be calling people to tell them that there were no more accommodations bring accepted. (I know phones were down but staff were on their very working cell phones. Get the list of bookings, go to a coffee shop and let people know). And the nonchalance about it blew my mind…”no room for you, sorry…deal with it”
