This was our first time to the Grand Rapids area, for a wedding. We had such a wonderful stay, from the moment we walked into the lobby to our departure after a 3 night stay. The area felt very safe. All the staff was friendly, very accommodating, hard working! Housekeeping staff it is noted that they work hard and take pride in delivering the rooms clean and inviting. Wonderful Jackie in the kitchen keeping up on the breakfast demands and still finding time to make us feel like we were her only visitors. The holiday skeletons were fun and staff pumpkin decorating contest showed artistic talents. It was apparent that staff enjoys their jobs and work well together to deliver a welcoming environment with excellent service! Thank you too all who served us Oct. 23 (11:00am)-Oct.26, 2025 (check out)

A great hotel, recently renovated. Free breakfast, and a fantastic indoor pool/spa area. Staff has been great, very friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Ashley who helped me track down extra hangers on my first night, and also helped me track down paper plates and hot sauce at 2AM. Thank you!
