Very good

My stay was fine until morning of checkout. A couple hours before checkout (I was still asleep and had the do-not-disturb sign out), someone who I’m assuming and hoping was an employee OPENED my door. Because I was asleep, I didn’t really see anything, and convinced myself the sound had been the door across the hall. Anyway… When I got up, that’s when trouble really hit. My door was OPEN. Thankfully I had the bar across so the door could not open more than an inch, but it was open. While I had been sleeping. I informed the front desk when I checked out, but nothing was really done other than an apology. Idk, I’m just still a little rattled by the experience and would have expected better of a Hilton.
staff was extremely friendly!! great location we stayed the night for a concert at Van Andel, only a 12 minute drive from the arena clean modern room and thank god for the wireless chargers! we traveled across the state and i left mine at home! we will definitely be staying again when we find our way back to GR’

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Comfy bed but missing hot breakfast opt
The room was okay. I was disappointed at how loud it was in our hallway on Saturday night. There should have been someone helping keep tgings quiet after 10pm, or certainly after midnight. We stayed 3 nights for a college visit. By far, the best aspect was the bed. It was very comfortable. The shower seemed to have a dirty floor and our bathroom fan cover was hanging off the wall. Staff was kind though I had a hard time understanding the night guy. He was super friendly though. Breakfast was also dissappointing. No hot option for breakfast....not even make your own waffles. That would have helped.
Area was close to the BeerFestival we were attending which was about 5 mins away in Comstock Park, the price for the room was perfect and the room was nice and clean would recommend to anyone
Nice and clean, later check out times than most hotels, coffee bar, water station to refill water bottles, bathrooms stocked with all essentials. Would definitely stay here again!
This is a freshly painted and renovated hotel that used to go by a different name. So, some of the hotel is noticeably older, like the elevator. But, that being said, it was pretty nice. The rooms are just converted over to the new branding, but I think it works for them. It’s simple. The beds are big and comfortable. The shower head was great, good pressure. The staff was wonderful (helped us after our keys didn’t work since some of the doors are of course older and a bit janky). The tv was good. The wireless chargers that were included in the room was a plus since my bf broke his charger on the way up. I will say that there was a weird gap at the bottom of the janky door that I wasn’t a huge fan of, but oh well. The free breakfast is exceptionally simple, but does the job. Would stay again as a cheap option away from the hustle of Grand Rapids downtown.
