Booked a room on Bookingcom which said no age restrictions for check-in Reserved a room for my 19 yr old daughter and her 20 yr old college roommate and they would not allow them to check in stating check-in age was 21

This is a contradiction to the booking confirmation that we received from this hotel that stated no age restrictions that 18 yr old are considered adults at this facility They have effectively stranded my daughter and roommate 5 hours from Marquette, MI with nowhere to stay All the hotels are booked up due to a concert in the area This is unacceptable We spoke with the manager Josephine and explained to her that our kids were stranded 5 hours away all hotels were booked and surely she could have made an exception since it was the hotel’s fault but chose not

Ward Ashley

The only thing good about our stay was the gentleman at the front desk For $160 I was not impressed Very dissatisfied for this being a Marriott property

Rooms weren’t cleaned efficiently, pool area was disgusting Not sure if it was chocolate or poop all over the floor in the pool area Brown stuff floating all over in the pool as well Water was freezing!!! Toilets barely flushed Stains on the beds Mold in shower Breakfast area was okay but complimentary coffee was always cold Will never be returning to this property

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

Ashley Parker

Great location, although the shared driveway with the oil change/car wash business next door needs some love That pothole could swallow a car!The hotel itself and rooms were very clean, and relatively quiet We do travel with a white noise sound machine for our son, which I think really helped with the sound as I could still hear doors and other guests in the hallway, though it didn’t disturb us

The room was pretty small in comparison to other locations with the same room type, however it was still perfectly functionalIf you’re looking for a nice, clean, hotel in a good location to both the airport, shopping, and dining, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here!

John Steed

Kids were running up and down the hallways all night They kept playing in the elevator so nobody could use it Went to the exercise room and kids playing in there unsupervised

Manager told me it happens everytime the travel hockey teams are in town My advice is don’t stay here if travel hockey is in town They must pay more for their rooms then I did Didn’t get much sleep before our flight and the managers response seemed to be sorry about your luck really disappointed in Marriott

Dody Conklin

This is a great place to stay, Matt was absolutely wonderful, extremely accommodating, Super friendly the moment you walked in the door willing to do whatever you need to make it a wonderful stay, All staff that you ran into was so extremely friendly and helpful just a cozy, warm, welcoming place! Extremely clean!!! cleanliness is huge to me and this place is extremely clean! If I could rate this higher than a five star I definitely would! Great job!!! We will be back!

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

We had a very nice stay here The breakfast was supurb The rooms were clean and the staff was friendly

I will say our check-in was delayed for 2 hours due to staffing issues Might I suggest calling people if their check in will be later than it is posted online? Or at the very least offer some sort of benefit I know it’s tough for staffing everywhere, so still a 5 star stay

Michelle Whisler

We were overcharged each of the 3 nights we stayed at the hotel Every night a new transaction hit our bank account, even after they took all the money for the hotel stay upfront Ended up ruining our son’s birthday

We were told they would comp us 2 nights and never did Our TV and alarm clock didn’t work and there wasn’t a remote for one of the other TVs, so could only use 1 of the 3 TVs in our room The GM and most workers were rude The lady cleaning the tables for breakfast decided to spray the table my husband was sitting at and got the spray in his food The breakfast was a joke and most of the food was burnt or dried out after being out for so long Would never recommend staying there They made our family vacation the worst ever

Alan Gradolph

MG, the French gentlemen running the counter, was great Super kind and friendly the whole time we were there He let us cancel our second night without penalty, gave us weather info, told us about things to do in the area, and got our door handle fixed because it wasn’t catching right

The facilities are a little tired, but the room was huge (2BR suite) and worked great for our family of 4 We’ll be back!

Beth Severns

Down the road from Craig’s Cruisers, across from shopping and food everywhere Came with kids and utilized the pool/ hot tub The pool was busy around the clock on the weekend with mostly other kids

Customer service was friendly and accommodating with each encounter Breakfast was exciting because of the waffle maker, but make sure to get in early to avoid linesKid friendly and local to everything Would book again if ever in the area

Christopher Bucher

Loved the room, very clean unlike some reviews were sayingThe pool and hot tub needed a little work, taking a star off for that – water in the pool was murky, and it is 4′ at the deepest segment The hot tubs jets were weak and too wide to be effective

Breakfast was good and included eggs and sausage patties as well as waffles, cereal, etc

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

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

Everything about this hotel was really good The rooms have lots of USB chargers and the kitchens were really modern The only downside is we stayed on a Saturday night

The traffic noise outside was extremely loud until about 2:30am The hotel knows this so they offer complimentary fans, white noise machines and earplugs The location is awesome for walking around Would definitely try it again, maybe just mid week!

I’m a Grand Rapids-ish native but am now living in northern Michigan I visited GR

for the recent Ghost/Volbeat/Twin Temple concert and didn’t want to bother with driving far/dealing with parking The location of the hotel is absolutely perfect as we were so close to the arena that we could see it from our room The room was very clean, spacious and modern and parking was very convenient We were very impressed! The staff was super nice and helpful We will definitely be back! Thank you for a great stay!

On the plus side, this was inexpensive and made for an easy stopover on our road trip The front desk workers (evening and morning) were professional and helpful Breakfast was cheap and mostly inedible

Room was fine for a pit stop and better than many competitors at the same price I liked that it was removed from the rest of the area as it felt quiet and safe

The hotel was overall a great experience The staff was exceptional! Especially Zaire and Courtney The hot tub is out of order but I knew that before booking

My room was clean but needed some basic upkeep maintenance The breakfast bar was good for the price (free) but wasn’t bad The pool is small but never ran into an issue with overcrowding

I had my daughters birthday party here and I give it 3 stars because even though I didn’t enjoy our stay, the kids did Our room had stains on the carpet, the couch looked beyond outdated, there were stink bugs everywhere we killed like 10 and also killed 3 big white spiders The place really needs some updating & deep cleaning

On the bright side my daughter and her friends had a great time They really enjoyed the pool, breakfast, and the suite itself The staff was also really nice and helpful

This will be the third week that we have stayed at this hotel and it has been one of the most pleasant stays The staff are always so friendly and helpful The breakfast far exceeded our expectations, although they do run out quite quickly on the weekends

😉 The rooms and hallways are always clean and smell fresh (previous hotels we’ve stayed at have reeked of weed and cigarette smoke) The rooms are quite and the location is excellent Easy access to expressway and many restaurant options are very close/in walkable distance We will forever be customers! Thank you for making this place feel like our second home

We stayed in the queen studio suite and it was a very comfortable room to stay in! Our towels were so plush and fresh We thought the ability to swivel the TV was a nice touch to the room layout! The full sized fridge and well stocked kitchen supplies were also very helpful Check in was easy and quick! Our room was right next to the stairs and it was loud at times, it sounded like guests were running and dragging items through the stairwell

At one point in the late evening it sounded like guests were having an argument and shouting at each other in the room above – better soundproofing or a reminder to guests to not disturb their neighbors could have been nice

We stayed in room 314 the past weekend I highly appreciate having a pack and play (that we requested) before we got inBut, I was highly disappointed when I pulled out the sofa bed at night

The sheets were not changed from the previous guest and was filthy I couldn’t even open fully and closed it immediately I had a guest sleep on the floor for the nightI travel often for living, while traveling with family, this is completely unacceptable I expected higher standards from Marriot especially during COVID

Not a fun, the restaurant and lounge was good The rest needs mayor work Front desk staff at check in were rude and dismissive

Left waiting at airport because shuttle has a different hotel logo on it and Noone thought it was a good idea to mention thatAudio service in halls were very problematic throughout the convention Internet service kept dropping off or was completely goneBusiness center was out of order since we arrived of Wednesday even though it was part of our contractNo maid service, You need to get towels every day so you can wash up When will hotels start doing their full jobs again? If not, lower your prices

Chip Huffman

Of the 4 hotels we stayed at during our trip, this hotel ranks at the bottom and well below any of the others!! Front Desk employees while efficient, were far from customer friendly The restaurant is overpriced and mediocre at best The room was ok, but not special

The lack of bags in the trash cans was disturbing Luckily, we had several plastic grocery bags in the car to overcome this shortcoming In short, customer service does not seem to be a priority at this hotel

Olita Martin

My daughter was getting married and picked this hotel to house her guest in for that weekend Upon arriving I was greeted when it was time for me to pay it was a disaster It was a error on the merchant end

I’ve never felt so embarrassed before, I also had to call my bank I’ve never had to do that before Make a long story short I would never stay at Hilton establishment again I missed wedding rehearsal everything went bad after the check in went left my blood pressure was up I’m very upset about my check in experience I never received apology or anything My room was terrible I just didn’t want to report it cause I was so upset
