Why Concert-goers love it

• Fans who want a quieter space to recharge post-show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t mind a short drive to the venue

Food and Drink Options

There’s an on-site restaurant and bar, great for grabbing a bite before or after the show. Though room service isn’t available 24/7, having a place to eat without leaving the hotel is a major bonus. If you're up late, nearby fast food options are just a short drive away. Breakfast is available, and with check-out at 11:30 AM, you can sleep in a bit after a big night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more low-key, you’re within driving distance of several bars and lounges in Lansing and nearby suburbs. If you're looking to keep the vibe going after the encore, there are chill spots nearby for a nightcap or two.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the clean rooms, friendly staff, and affordable rates. Many reviews highlight the ease of parking and proximity to Chicago without the downtown hassle. It’s also a favorite for travelers who want a simple, no-fuss place to sleep after a busy day in the city.

Areas for Improvement

While Starway Inn delivers on value, it’s not the most modern of stays. Some guests mention the décor could use updating, and it’s more of a place to sleep than hang out. Also, being outside the city means you’ll need a car or rideshare to reach venues.

The Bottom Line

Starway Inn is a practical, wallet-friendly option for concert-goers who want a quiet night’s sleep and easy access to Chicago's live music action.
