Canopy by Hilton Grand Rapids Downtown
Incredibly clean, comfortable, aesthetic, with wonderful staff. Didn’t love the breakfast setup being a restaurant instead of a typical lowkey buffet.

Holiday Inn Grand Rapids Downtown by IHG
I would have given 5 stars because literally everything was fantastic EXCEPT the room was VERY loud. We were right on the highway and i swear it was like a window was open. Also alot of loud banging from the hallways too. Overall thought great staff, easy check in and out, clean room it even smelled ...
