Hampton Inn & Suites Grand Rapids Downtown
The lady at the desk gave me back my second night stay money as we were forced 2 shorten our stay due to bad weather. That was great and thanks to Hilton for allowing that considering circumstances.

Canopy by Hilton Grand Rapids Downtown
Cozy, quiet, modern, clean. Our room was the perfect size and layout. We stayed New Years Eve and were surprised by how quiet the building was… for all the traffic and loud, excited party guests in the lobby and street. The walls must be very well insulated. The staff was always professional, helpful ...
