If you're looking for a swanky place to go in Kalamazoo, SkyDeck is your place. I always feel like…read morethe drinks are a good $2 more than the other bars in the Entertainment District, and there's only the 1 bar so you may have to wait if it's busy. Oh, but it's never been busy when I've gone. Background music was playing, and yes you can get a view of the city, but there's a lot of cranes and building going on now, and you're only really 7 stories up. I wish they'd move the smoking section (or get rid of it altogether) since you have to walk through a cloud of smoke to get to the bathrooms...

Upon moving to Kalamazoo, Skydeck took somewhat of a mythical status in my mind. Who wouldn't want…read moreto live it up on the tallest bar in Kzoo? The fact that you can't see it's layout from the ground floor lends to the allure. All this is to say that I created a legend in my head that sadly wasn't true. Skydeck was interesting, fun for a night, and not much more. Perhaps it's for this reason that I gave it an average rating. But I also think that there were a few flaws regarding the space and I'll lay them out here. First and foremost, you pay a premium to be in this space, both in the form of a cover ($10, nothing insane) and an apparent tariff on the drinks (maybe it's handling fees for hauling it all up so high?). Either way, you should expect to be a bit gouged for cash. Not all of the drinks are insane, but mixed drinks are pricey, and some of their "signature" drinks top $12. Now, initially, this might seem like a fair trade: a bit extra for high quality drinks and a higher quality view. But here's the rub: it's a small space, it's packed, and the edge seats go first. For me and my group to enjoy the breathtaking view of Kalamazoo, we would have to stand or share tables. It's difficult to blame them for being popular. That being said, I don't really feel like we received the main feature of the venue. A friend of mine put it sagely: it's a great date spot, or celebration, but you don't go their to drink. You go there for the experience. Therefore, this won't become one of my "regular spots." Here are some positives to end on: -Amazing view of the city -Great ambiance, especially at night -Wonderful service -Elevator!

It had a treadmill that didn't work, an elliptical, a bike machine, some dumbbells, and a bench - decor is ok, idk the place just looks very dull - Found an insect in my bathroom. I don't know what insect, but it jumped and was the size of a quarter.

Pros: Easy check in. Queen studio suite was clean and spacious. Nice kitchenette with glasses but…read moreno plates. Ice maker in the freezer. Clean and well stocked bathroom. Very comfortable bed and pillows. Waffle and fruit for breakfast. Key card only entry after hours for security. Close and well lit parking. Many amenities (food, shopping, gas) nearby. Cons: Room had a mild fish odor. Weed smell in the hallway. The eggs, something they called potatoes and chicken sausage for breakfast were horrible. A few hiccups getting the correct room rate but it was eventually properly invoiced. Some staff were so-so. Good value for what they offer. I would recommend and return.

It's a lovely concert while I'm waiting.
