This hotel is amazing! The GM of the hotel checked us in The process was quick and efficient, and he was super friendly and accommodating to our requestsThe Hotel staff were friendly and always greeted with a smile and a “hello”

Breakfast was good, including sausage, eggs, waffles, and I had no complaints from the kids! There was one gentleman particularly who was very helpful in the breakfast room, and had a conversation with my sonvery pleasant! He even helped him get syrup for his waffles!The room was clean and included a note from the housekeeper welcoming us Our beds were comfortable, and the room was spacious with a nice TV Access to the highway was very easy, and there were many options for dining nearbyAlthough we left our fur family at home, it is also nice to know we could have brought them with us as the hotel is pet friendly We will do so next time!Overall, if I could give this hotel a rating it would be a 10+ No complaints at all, just a relaxing few days away from home with my family with awesome accommodations! Highly recommended! We will be back!

Can’t say enough nice things about this place! We were running late and I called to be sure they wouldn’t think we were a no show on our reservation The gentleman who answered (I believe his name was Tim) made note of it, wished us safe travels and said he’d see us soon We arrived close to 1:00 a

m without stopping for dinner They had microwave meals and sodas available at the front desk, which were just what we needed at that moment Tim made sure we had utensils and napkins, asked if we actually had a pet in our pet friendly room and told us where the best spot to take our dog out was Our room was clean, pretty, quiet and comfy, with down pillows on the bed and great water pressure in the shower Our only regret was having to leave at 6:00 am (the one time in my life I was checked in and out by the same person) He wished us safe travels and made sure we had hot coffee…we were too early for breakfast We will definitely stay again and highly recommend

Great customer service, great looking room and very clean Only thing is the curtains don’t shut completely for privacy at our window and the heat took long to warm the room up The window not being able to close with the curtain made the room even harder to warm up because of the cold air outside coming in, which the bed was located right next to the window

Other than those things it was clean, quiet, respectful staff and very friendly and everything we needed was all already in the room Although, hot breakfast would’ve been great

You never know what you’re gonna get with hotels but this one did not disappoint! I selected this hotel after reading the reviews and I’m glad I did Great location The staff from the front desk to maintenance were so kind

The complimentary beverage station and cookies were clean and well stocked The breakfast was great Tons of selections for everyone The most important thing was this hotel was clean clean clean!!! The cleanest hotel I’ve ever stayed in The rooms were spotless Smelled clean The beds were comfortable The only “complaint” would be the event room by the pool was rented out and they are allowed to use the pool even though they aren’t registered guests Not trying to be a “Karen” but with 30+ people coming in and out and the pool not being overly large, it was chaotic My kids decided to leave after a little bit The arcade was a rip off but my kids were excited to see one there Would stay here again in a heartbeat!!

Melissa Mack

This was such a pleasant hotel The staff was friendly at every point throughout The breakfast was unexpectedly diverse with food choices and there was lots of seating around the breakfast area

The rooms were very clean and updated The pool was warm and the hot tub was also well cared for Staff quickly brought more towels when needed and there was plenty of seating around the pool We will definitely come back again!! Keep up the amazing work and kudos to your staff!

Derek Saynor

Very clean and well appointed hotel Good complimentary buffet breakfast with nice range of hot and cold selections Excellent indoor pool with hot tub as well as a well equipped fitness room with cardio and strength training machines available along with a good business center room

Only reason for the demerit is there was no housekeeping in my room after the first night of a 2 night stay

We needed an overnight stay ahead of a competition at Grandville High School, so I was happy to find this Hilton hotel right behind the campus The hotel and our room were impeccably clean, and the breakfast had a great variety of foods to choose from The only issues we ran into were our digital key in the Hilton app did not work upon arrival, the parking lot was plowed poorly so there were many unusable spaces, and our sliding bathroom door was very hard to move

Other than those small issues, we had a good stay and would not hesitate to return for our next trip to the area Finally, the location is fantastic with easy access from the freeway and plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby, including a Costco with gas station a short drive down the same street

Patrick Brannan

Although finding the entrance was a little tricky, we full enjoyed our stay We were in town for an event at Grandville High School, and this property is very conveniently located, with an access drive to the school located adjacent to the property Everything inside and outside the property was very well maintained

Our first floor room was perfect for our family as it allowed space to spread out and relax and the wet bar provided area for snacks and drinks The pool area was a favorite of our kids Although there were no pool towels when we arrived, the desk staff immediately found towels for us to use The morning breakfast bar and coffee area were well stocked and maintained by the friendly staff My kids enjoyed the available hot chocolate as a pre bedtime treat My wife and I both comment on how comfortable the bed and associated linens were They were neither too hot and heavy nor to light and cool This is an excellent facility

Corey Curtiss

Matthew the General Manager was stellar The ideal example of customer service, compassion, and consideration When unforeseen circumstances arose, he ensured I was taken care of lighting fast before I even had to ask

Exceeded my expectations This is where I will always stay when I’m in the area Great leader, great staff, great property Highly recommend

Perfect stay for the forgetful travellers as WALMART is literally right there Lol We stayed on the second floor

They accommodate smokers with at least 3 outdoor dedicated smoking areas Pool and hot tub were clean with (small) towels provided (More details on website) Breakfast was very plentiful as it included hot and cold breakfast with many options (buffet style) I would stay again Favorite thing about the room is that the window was not screwed shut which allowed opening for fresh air

Michael Storandt

traveling for work and there was a schedule mix up so I couldn’t make it to Grand Rapids so they still charged full price for the cancellation fee Understand that for a same day cancellation they would charge a fee but one would think they would discount it Guess it is always worth while to pay a little more and go to a hotel with a no penalty cancellation policy

denise freeman

Room was clean but they don’t know how to use chemicals in pool and hot tub!!!! Both were so high in chlorine it burned our eyes gave us a rash ruined bathing suit!!!¡fumes in hot tub where so bad couldn’t even sit in had to stand to get away from fumes !!!!! This is not good!!! Had to go buy eye drops because it burned our eyes so bad!!!!

Stacy Purcaro

This was our second time staying here, and both times were fantastic The front desk employees are incredibly friendly, rooms are spacious and clean, and the pool area is fantastic (hot tub, plus a heated pool that can be accessed from both indoors and outdoors – the kids loved it) In addition to the very reasonably priced rooms, you get a full breakfast buffet, coffee 24/7, soft drinks in the evenings, and a happy hour with three FREE drinks and food every night

Super accessible to the airport and only 15 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids Highly recommend

Krystal Pryor

Great place to stay Loved the amenities and the fact that they serve breakfast and dinner; saved us a lot of money on foodThe only thing I didn’t like was the smell of the pool

To me it didn’t smell like chlorine and was really potent; almost made me gag The pool itself was clean though

Jonathon Vince

First time here and it was great Couldn’t keep driving and needed to stop Rolled in at 1AM

Guy at front desk got me a room and I was out Place is huge 6 floors Rooms are very nice and have all the normal stuff Breakfast is where it’s at Full hot breakfast Sausage, eggs, waffles, toast, cereal, danishes, ect included It is a little pricier than other places around but well worth it with the cleanliness and great food in the morning If I need to stop around here again it will most definitely be here ✌

Stay at Home2 regularly with work travel They are doing a great job here Room is clean, bed very comfortable and plenty of toiletry supplies

Breakfast is better than the last couple I have stayed at and coffee is always ready Parking lot cleared of snow and walks treated for ice, so customer safety is obviously important Would recommend for your stay Was here for 4 nights

B Jean

The good-Most everything This hotel was very comfortable and quiet The beds were super soft and the sheets were silky

The rooms are very large and have a kitchenette Full sized fridge, sink, and dishwasher Dishes are provided for your use There was a TON of counter space We had two queen beds and a pull out couch The fitness center was pristine clean Good sized pool 55 feet Hot tub was nice and warm with jets I slept the best at this hotel out of any that I have stayed at You can’t here the highway at all Breakfast is free It was okay Omelettes and breakfast sandwiches were made ahead of time and kept in a warm box They had cereal, waffles, yogurt, fruit, juice, and toastThe bad- Fire alarm went off at 7am for unknown reasons It was very disorienting and irritating By time we were dressed it was off I did not have a hot shower the whole time I was there Water was warm at best Air conditioning was very loud We turned it off over night Housekeeping staff (girl with blonde ponytail) was very rude to my son when he went into the fitness center to grab a key I had left on the treadmill ( I was standing in the doorway He was not unattended) He didn’t say what she said but he was in tears

Philly Philly

I’m a Diamond member with Hilton and travel virtually every single week and always stay in Hilton properties This one was pretty disappointing One of the elevators was broken

Equipment in the fitness center is broken Since the elevators were taking a long time I decided to take the stairs and it smelled like something died in there No matter what my status has been with Hilton I had never been charged for the cheap bottles of water before The good ones yes but not the cheap ones and I was charged for 2 of them on this trip Not a big deal just the principle The room was fine with the exception that the dispensers in the shower were empty but everything else was exactly why I choose Hilton properties

This review is specifically for the Accessible Room on the first floor Clean and spacious, linens seemed stained and older, but clean Bathroom was well set up and had the movable shower seat

Very clean! The room hasn’t been updated in awhile, but gets the job done You can hear the pool echoing during the day, but quiets down once people leave for the night Service was great! Woman at the front desk was a great help and very friendly and professional Continental breakfast was standard fare, but no real gluten free options except fruit and yogurt Location is tucked away off a side road, but had parking available for us Good value for the cost if you’re looking for something close to the airport

Tom

Our family stayed one night with two toddlers Everything from start to finish was perfect, from the staff to the accommodations This was without a doubt one of the best customer service experiences we’ve ever encountered

The staff were very sweet with our kids! The pool was a little outdated but still tons of fun Breakfast had tons of options including scrambled eggs, sausage patties, biscuits and gravy, breakfast sandwiches and other cold items If we’re ever back in town, we’re staying here!

C. Morgan

The staff here makes this place Very nice employeesWhile staying in Grand Rapids we made reservations here at the Fairfield Inn & Suites

My observations were that the rooms were fairly updated The Cleanliness was not as good as I’d hoped The bedspreads had dark staining almost like makeup (see photos) the refrigerator had previous guests items in it still The Bodywash in the shower was empty There were broken tiles in the bathroom Water pressure was good The room was fairly quiet, you can occasionally hear your neighbors beside and above (we were on 2nd floor) The breakfast was okay, nothing wonderful but they did have hot foods, and cold cereal as well as fresh fruit to choose fromThis wasn’t a bad stay, it was just not exactly as I had expected it to be I would stay again though The location was good, we were able to visit many attractions and you could literally walk to many restaurants in the area

Very nice rooms, comfortable and clean! They even offered the option to cast on their TV so we could use one of our streaming service to watch a movie! The only reason I am giving 4 stars is because of the breakfast area and breakfast staff I have stayed here twice and both times the breakfast area has been under stocked and the breakfast staff has been less than willing to restock With that being said I would still highly recommend this hotel! All other service has been great!

Micos HairSalon

Nice clean room, clean pool, pic a little misleading as thought there was a hot tub Beds were really nice and comfy until I was woken up by heavy footsteps, not sure if they were just from the hallways or above us but my husband and kids heard the same too Hot breakfast always a plus in the mornings but the scrambled eggs were a little salty

I think if I stayed here again I’d stay on the 4th floor to avoid anyones thunderous stomping

T Sommer

I did not even check inn On 6/16/22 I went to get a room because the app was not working The guy told me they were booked, then they weren’t

All this is fine but the constant sighing and attitude made me just walk out and not pay the $150 for the room Ii went to the Holiday Inn and Suites right up the road where they know customer service Whomever the front desk clerk was, should look for a job he might be better at Your job is to literally help people, not get an attidude when everything does not go right Way to high of a price to have people like that working there

I was pretty disappointed with this particular Holiday Express I’m a Rewards member and I typically try and find a Holiday Express when we travel For being a fairly new Hotel, I would expect there to be better management

The hotel was dirty Not disgusting Just dirty Crumbs everywhere Dirty elevator No hand soap in the Bathroom There were hand sanitizer stations throughout the Hotel But none of them worked! They had almost nothing in the Market and there was no one to be found when we tried to complain about the dirty sheet that was on my bed I had brought this to the attention of the Hotel and I haven’t heard a word back from anyone I’m pretty disappointed and will never stay here again

Angie McKee

We stayed two nights at this hotel for a sports tournament The furniture is up-to-date and the room was clean when we arrived However, we received no cleaning service between nights (And there was no printed or verbal warning at the front desk during check-in that maid service would not be provided); we had to go to the front desk to retrieve our own replacement towels and toilet paper

The breakfast was not well stocked and both the toaster and the pancake maker were broken/Not working properly With a list price of $179 per night, and the reputation that Holiday Inn enjoys, we certainly expected a better experience We have stated “mid-level“ hotels all over the country, we feel for the price the experience was a disappointment

Marvin Hamdan

Poor front desk service My family & I were inside the room when another family walked on us while my girls were changing and getting ready to go to the pool, obviously the front desk messed up and double booked the room I tried to call the front desk the land line inside the room was not working

I tried to call from my cell after multiple tries the night shift front lady put me on hold for more than five minutes, so I went to the front desk to complain with my little girls, the lady at the front desk told me that she didn’t check me in that day and it’s not her fault, I asked her to talked to the manager she was kind rude and that nobody is available When I started to raise my complaint again she threatened me that she can remove me and my family from the hotel and she mentioned in front of my girls she will call the cops my girls were afraid, crying and begging her not to call the cops she left the front desk and went to hide inside the roomAfter about 45 minutes Two officers showed up at the pool to talk to me, they were very nice, I explained my situation and what happened, my girls were still shaking I went with them to the front desk to talk to the lady after I provided the offices the information about my reservation The lady blamed the whole situation on the person who checked me in that he checked me in to the wrong room The office understand that I didn’t do any wrong doing I didn’t threaten her or use any profanity words She couldn’t handle a small complaint could be resolved easily in a professional way Therefore, definitely if all Holiday inn services like this i will never book again with them A simple complaint about their service could end me and my with the cops I don’t need this place there are plenty of places to stay The next morning I talked to the manager who offered me an apology with a full refund for the full amount but there is no money that will make up for my girls tears and the scares they went through during that time

Stayed here for 8 days with my 2 kids for Junior Gold and we couldn’t of been happier with our decision The location is surrounded by a ton of places to eat and shop The employees were always nice and helpful

All the facilities worked(pool, exercise room), the comp express breakfast was on point Food was delicious and always had plenty to choose from The cafe lady was amazing! She works so hard! Always say hi and converses I did not sleep well(but I never do in hotels) but my kids slept great each night so I’m assuming the beds were comfortable enough The only flaw in the room is that the mini fridge wasn’t that cold I’d prefer it to be colder Maybe there’s a setting that I didn’t notice? For the deal I received through Junior Gold, it was well worth the stay and would have no issue staying here if I’m out in Grand Rapids again

Ann B.

This place has been great the older women who does breakfast is so sweet They have free laundry here and will give you detergent and dryer sheets! The morning cleaning crew has also been great with minor cleaning for my week stay The pool and hot tub are always open and clean

I went down with my 6 month old and had the pool to ourselves Very calming I recommend the King suit

A few girls I went to high school with got together for a girls weekend at the Holiday Inn Express off AlpineWe specifically booked this hotel because it’s in the “middle” for all of us and because they have a pool and hot tub We’re old(er) and were very much looking forward to the hot tub

When we got to the hotel it was clean, the front desk attendant was very polite and our room was just what we asked for, though the beds were a little hard but hey, it’s a hotel, not homeWe then ventured down to check out the pool and hot tub Much to our dismay, the pool and hot tub were filled with young teenage boys from a traveling baseball teamThe hot tub water was literally brown from a younger boy bringing his Matchbox cars from outside into the hot tub and the dirt had destroyed the once inviting waterWe asked the front desk attendant if there was any way it could be cleaned He didn’t have anyone available on staff to do it and he didn’t know how (completely understandable!)We had a good weekend and the staff was fantastic, the breakfast was amazing, more than I expected from a hotel We were just bummed that adults weren’t able to enjoy the pool and hot tub because of the kids

My rate was nearly $400 per night For that amount of money I would expect a bare minimum of maintenance and upkeep Our room door could only be opened by turning the handle a very specific way

Front desk was aware of the maintenance issue and apologized because they “forgot to mention” this upon check inMAYBE FIX THE PROBLEM INSTEAD??The room did not have ANY soap Just moisturizer lotion and shampoo Had to call the front desk and ask No notepad in the room or pen either Simple things that you used to expect from a hotel chain are nowhere to be found here They’re happy to charge 5 star rates, but they do not deliver a 5 star stayThis review brought to you by a dissatisfied Diamond Rewards member

We had a large family group that stayed several nights for a wedding I was so impressed with this hotel! The staff was friendly and helpful even though they were fully booked Tammy went above and beyond to accommodate our large group by giving us a place to gather and spend time with the family

The rooms were very clean with comfortable beds and pillows It was evident that Tammy takes pride in running this hotel! One day I noticed she was there at 6:30 when we got coffee and then she was still there when we can in late around 10:30 pm Thanks so much for a great stay and adding to our enjoyment of a fun wedding weekend!

I stayed at this hotel for a couple of nights, and overall had a good experience The hotel staff was friendly- and the rooms were clean no doubt I also appreciated the size of the showers, and the bathroom for that matter

The only thing that wasn’t good was the breakfast There’s a menu, and you have to pay for breakfast The presentation of the food, when it comes out; is just about impeccable But the quality and taste of the food is eh/so so

Logan Florea

The hotel appearance was nice, but room had issues Light fixtures coming off the wall, wall paper peeling, and cabinet doors not shutting The breakfast service is bad

Not complimentary, instead rather expensive microwave food We waited well over an hour for our food The pool had a giant bubble on the ceiling that looked like it would pop at any second If you’re looking for a short over night stay this is good, but any long and I’d look else where

We really enjoyed our stay here Great location Walkable to a lot of interesting sites: The staff was really nice

Karen, at the front desk, was so kind and spoiled us Because of our flight times, she even let us check in a little early and check out a bit later We offered to pay more but she said it was fine It pays to be nice She was so accommodating We loved visiting Grand Rapids and would like a repeat visit here

Harry Kourlos

Just wanted to give a shout-out to Amanda at the front desk Very nice and delightful that there are really good-hearted people like her She is very understanding and cares about her guests

I think if more professionals adapted her attitude and work ethic, the business revenue would go up at least 33% It is very important to treat the guest right and to go above and beyond expectations, and she truly did The customer service is A-1 and you will not regret your stay

Sven Tietz

Delivers exactly what you expect of a Courtyard brand: neat, clean, efficient, friendly, well priced Rooms were clean and generous enoughHad no issues with noise, parking or difficulty getting there like other reviewers – was easy and straightforward

Not a 5 star hotel by any means but deserves a 5 star rating for delivering what it promises on the tin

I had a family member who was receiving care at the Spectrum Health complex nearby and the hospital gave me a discount code to use at the Hampton Inn here This is easily the highest-end hotel I have ever stayed at Cushy, comfortable and a highly trained and competent staff

I would stay here again if given the chance, but I’m afraid it may be priced out of my range without the hospital discount! Thanks to Renucci and Spectrum for making this available for us!

Alisha Spencer

Very disappointed in our stay here Room wasn’t cleaned well, old food items from past tenants were left, fridge was broken, nothing appeared to be wiped down Fire Alarm went off at 6am, apparently was a false alarm but never bothered to send any staff out to update guests standing outside while it was snowing

Some guests were in pjs with no shoes or coats Finally went up to lobby while alarm was still going off to find staff at desk Was extended a credit for parking which i never got and charged full price for room even after multiple hours were spent out of the room for alarm Never received any kind of outreach apologizing for the inconvenience Submitted concerns in a survey after the stay and still nothing I certainly hope they fix their emergency plan so their guests I would expect better for $300/night on a weekend

The room was clean- the bed was at an angle that was difficult to view the TV We were not given any additional details on pool hours- my husband went to the pool at 8pm & couldn’t access entry We had to get up at 4:30 the following morning I had to call the front desk to obtain info on how to access tv channels

The variety of tv channels was very disappointingWe had to leave before breakfast was available, we would rather have had a discount on the price of the room, rather than a granola bar & apple It might be advantageous to give a discount tto persons using your hotel because of procedure’s at the OAM SURGERY center

My room was as expected, clean and comfortable However, the purpose of leaving this review is to shout out the absolutely amazing front desk staff My service at check in was great, but Gil and Melissa went above and beyond for me

I needed assistance at almost midnight with printing documents and they did not hesitate to help me with my odd request Was much appreciated!!! Thanks guys 🙂

Darren Walezak

Great views on the riverside and the room was very nice The front desk team was very accommodating Nothing to complain about but if there are certain amenities you want to use the day you check in confirm in advance if they’re working

Staff was light so they had to have shorter hours so I couldn’t use some Not a deal breaker for me but I can see how for some it could frustrate

Melissa Bedell

My boyfriend and I stayed here to attend an event at Devos and it was nice to be able to walk inside to get there and not need to bring jackets or drive/park The Lumber Baron Bar on the first floor is one of our GR favorites, even though this was our first time staying in the hotel we come often for the great drink menu and atmosphere The front desk staff was kind and welcoming and got us checked in right away

We parked in the parking structure, which turns out was free and that was a nice surprise It was disappointing that our shower was not clean, (there was a bunch of hair on the walls!?) otherwise the room was fine The bed was very comfy and we were given the option for a room on a higher floor which had a partial view of the river If we had stayed more than one night, not having a fridge would have been a bummer, but we were just there for the event and didn’t want to drive after so that wasn’t a big deal this time I would stay again for the convenience for sure

I staid here for two nights as a part of a work trip Not having enough time to contact the hotel, I arrived pretty late for my check-in after a long road trip However, I was greeted with ease and convenience

The guest service manager, Amber, was very helpful and welcoming She insured that I would have a nice and comfortable arrival after my trip Shaun, the server and clerk, was nothing short of a great personality His positive attitude and tentative service made a simple breakfast meal feel like a warmly prepared home mealI would definitely stay here again and recommend it to my family and friends

Elle Zamarron

My husband and I made a spur of the moment decision to take a little staycation a few hours from home We booked this hotel for mainly the pool/hot tub for our two sons (2&3) but the whole hotel was immaculate! The pool and hot tub were great, the pool was so warm and very clean! My boys did not want to leave! We will definitely be back!

Karen Schultz

Hilton Garden Inns never disappoint, and this one was amazing Super friendly and accommodating staff Awesome, well presented food; made to order breakfast was fantastic

Wanted to stay another day to enjoy the Michigan shaped pool and indoor/outdoor hot tub more Super clean, as all Hilton brands are Will definitely stay there whenever I’m in Grand Rapids
