Top hotels in Michigan Oaks

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Grand Rapids East, MI
Love it. Have stayed here both times I have been in Grand Rapids. Easy in and out access to the main road. Well maintained pool and hot tub. The rooms are quiet, can’t hear other guests. Breakfast choices rotate so if staying more than one day, you get something different.

Sonesta Hotel Grand Rapids Airport
The parking was fine; the signage was dark as the name change to The Center was taking place on Monday, May 11.

Holiday Inn Grand Rapids Downtown by IHG
The staff were all friendly and it was a nice atmosphere. Just a decent amount of traffic noise due to the freeway and possibly from the main road. Also conveniently located close to downtown.

Holiday Inn Express Grand Rapids Airport North by IHG
The help were not courteous, the room was not what was described when booking, the beds were uncomfortable and one of the beds had a bed bug in it. The in-room coffee maker did not work. The towels were like using sandpaper and the maids could not speak English.

Amway Grand Plaza, Curio Collection by Hilton
It was so difficult to find a drinking fountain to refill my water bottle. Multiple workers sent me on a bit of a wild goose hunt trying to find one.
