Holiday Inn Grand Rapids Downtown by IHG
It was convenient, next to the highway and close to the downtown area. Room was clean but small. Shuttle service was great, our shuttle driver Veronica was very nice and fun! No complimentary breakfast.

Sonesta Hotel Grand Rapids Airport
Staff was not very welcoming upon arrival we seemed to be bothering him. Room was nice a clean. Husband said coffee was terrible. The bed was very comfortable. Over all it was a good stay minus the rudeness of the guy that checked us in.
