Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Grand Rapids East, MI
Very convenient location. Comfortable beds, clean, friendly staff and area felt safe and secure. Only complaint was the breakfast. No cereal or milk and the only breakfast meat was corned beef hash.

Holiday Inn Express Grand Rapids Airport North by IHG
Front desk people was great. Room was clean, breakfast was ok, not the bestest but it was breakfast. A/C controller on wall was messed up and unit was loud. All in all I would probably stay here again. Thank you!
