Downtown Lansing draws visitors with its proximity to the State Capitol, museums, and vibrant cultural scene. Here, tourists can find a range of hotels offering easy access to key attractions such as the Impression 5 Science Center and the Michigan History Center.

East Lansing, home to Michigan State University (MSU), offers a youthful vibe and is particularly popular during college events and sports games. Staying in this area provides convenience for those visiting the university, coupled with an ample selection of cafes, shops, and bars that cater to both the student population and visitors.

For those seeking a more tranquil stay, the outskirts of Lansing host several chain hotels and bed-and-breakfasts nestled in quieter neighbourhoods. These accommodation options are ideal for visitors looking to adventure into the nearby nature reserves or those who appreciate a slower pace without straying too far from the bustling city centre.

The Capital Area Transportation Authority (CATA) runs an extensive network of buses that service both Lansing and East Lansing, as well as the surrounding suburbs. For those preferring the flexibility of their schedule, hiring a car might be preferable, particularly for destinations that are less accessible by public transport. While Lansing is not primarily known for its walkability, East Lansing and the MSU campus area are more pedestrian-friendly, allowing visitors to easily explore the vicinity on foot.
