Very convenient location with clean rooms and nice views of the city. The staff was very friendly and warm and the food was great. You can tell there is extra attention given to perfectly toasting the bun for the perfect crunch.

Probably our favorite location to stay in Grand Rapids. Beautiful view of the river, easy to get to all the downtown attractions and restaurants. But it's a holiday inn and it's not the most luxurious hotel, but it serves its purpose.

This hotel does not have a microwave in the room. The room was clean. The people who organized the breakfast were crazy. (Go somewhere else for breakfast...not worth it) The the staff at the front desk was ok, but the woman who drove the bus/shuttle was amazing!
