Top Idlewild Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Big Rapids, MI

10/10 Excellent

"I arrived late due to a flight delay. I was met with a smile, cookies that were baked that day, and a quiet, clean room for the night. It was just what I needed for a few nights stay. It was quiet, clean, and conveniently located near Meijer. That was such a huge convenience. I would recommend this hotel and will be staying in again in the near future."

Red Moose Lodge

8/10 Good

"The room and entire property was very nice and neat and clean. The owners clearly take pride"
