The Dow Center was extremely clean, the staff was beyond helpful, and the amenities were high-end. I do not have one negative word to say about the facilities or the staff. We look forward to staying again.

The staff was very helpful in answering our questions on a number of different topics and were very thorough in helping us navigate around the construction area. Our room was very clean, beds were comfortable and we appreciated the 11am check-out time. Highly recommend!

For those visiting Hillsdale College, there is no closer connection than being directly on campus in the Dow Conference Center. All of the campus amenities are readily available. The rooms are well-appointed, but there is still room for improvement. The bathroom door in our room doesn't lock, the fan in the bathroom had no switch to turn it on, and the sheets on the beds are woefully insufficient without adding additional blankets on a March night.

A very quiet quiet and clean place to stay while visiting the college. The window had very nice wood blinds with curtains to keep the room dark. The bed was very comfortable and the headboard has great reading lamps. Many nice features!
