Amway Grand Plaza, Curio Collection by Hilton
4.2/596 Reviews
This hotel takes up an entire city block. The sitting areas in the huge lobby are beautiful. We had avery nice meal at the on site Wolfgang Puck Restaurant and a reasonably priced breakfast at another of his eateries. Our king bedded room was adequate but not spacious, while the bathroom was small and lacking in space for toiletries. The hotel is located near the Ford Presidential Museum, which was very convenient.

I was very impressed with this hotel! The staff is so friendly and accommodating. The lobby area was beautiful with tile and wood and a pretty gas fireplace. The bedrooms are so spacious and clean. And the bed was really comfortable. Overall we just loved our stay and would definitely recommend to others. The room rate was really great as well!
Hilton Garden Inn Grand Rapids East
4.4/5102 Reviews
We stay in many Hilton properties as HH diamond members. This Hilton Garden Inn is one of the BEST we have found. Check-in was fast and flawless. Our room was clean, comfortable, and spacious. The staff was attentive and helpful. The breakfast was excellent - fresh, tasty, plentiful and the service was great. We could not have asked for more. Hilton is a premium brand and the people at this place really do hospitality right. Thanks for a great overnight visit!

Quality Inn Grand Rapids North Walker
3.4/591 Reviews
Overall the facilty is good. As most motels, regular upkeep is needed and upgrading some equipment is required. The room use older heating/cooling units that can be difficult to set a comfortable room temperature. The room I'm staying in now, the low fan setting does not work while the heat is on. Many motels equal to this one has a better selection on TV channels. I'm not into sports or network news thus I am limited as to what I can watch, After a full day of driving, it would be nice to relax with some shows(channels) that I'm use to. A positive note is the evening desk clerk. I haven't stayed here for a few months, but as soon as I walked into the lobby, Beth the evening desk clerk, recongnized me and welcomed me by name. That adds a special touch to the end of a rough day. She is always pleasant and always has a smile. After being in my room for about 15 minutes, she called to see if the room wa ok. Hope she never leaves this facility as I feel she is a valuable asset!
CityFlatsHotel - Grand Rapids, Ascend Hotel Collection
4/5100 Reviews
If there is one consistent complaint I have about many hotel rooms is that there are not enough electrical outlets (or they are poorly located) and that there is only one mirror - in the bathroom an often steamed up! I was astounded that City Flats had multiple outlets in both bathroom, sleeping areas (we have 2 CPAP machines) and the desk area. Great shower. Loved the untypical arrangement of the 2 full size beds - it was almost as there were 2 separate bedrooms. Hotel was super-quiet during our two night stay, Very short walk to VanAndel Arena as well as a multitude of restaurants & bars. The only negative we found was the parking deck around the corner and the difficulty of unloading luggage/checking in before parking car. Our view was an exposed brick wall, but in the end did not matter as it kept the room super dark allowing us to easily sleep in after a fun night in Grand Rapids!
