I've stayed here countless times over many years. It's been my go-to place in Grand Rapids. Time for a change. It's just run down. The rooms are beat up: faded furniture, wood everywhere in the room is scratched and dented, the love seat in each room is worn and tired, the lights all seem dim and all give off a jaundiced, yellow-ish hue. As for cleanliness, the sheets in my bed were very rumpled (looking more like they'd been slept in before rather than freshly cleaned) and the fitted sheet was barely attached to the mattress. In the bathroom, my toilet seat had a chip in it (?) exposing some MDF under the white surface, and the shower had lots of splotches of some pink/orange growth, plus other areas with concerning little spots of black. Overhead, a fan vent in the bathroom ceiling had massive clumps of dust hanging out of it. Gross. This hotel is getting old. The rooms feel run down. It's overdue for a major overhaul. Between the bed and the shower and the clumps of dust, my room didn't feel sufficiently clean. It all needs major work. The staff are nice. The restaurant is pretty good. But I'm done with the Courtyard. The rooms have been in a slow decline for some time, and it's past the point where I want to come back.

Sleep All Over the World Grand Rapids Anway Grand Plaza, Curio Collection by Hilton
The Amway Hotel, a Hilton Collection in Grand Rapids, consists of two parts, old and new
The old building part of the hotel, originally the Pantlind Hotel, opened in 1913 during the prosperous period of Grand Rapids, and was rated as one of the top ten hotels in the United States for many times in the first half of the twentieth century.
The Pantlind Hotel is a Beaux-Art architectural style, which was a popular architectural style in France from the 1830s to the end of the 19th century. The hotel had the largest gilded ceiling in the world at that time, and a huge crystal chandelier and other luxurious decorations.
In 1979, the Amway Group purchased the Pantlind Hotel, renovated it, and reopened on September 15, 1981. The Ford couple Ye, who lived in Grand Rapids, attended the opening ceremony.
The 29-story glass building on the riverside side of the old hotel was completed in 1983, which is also part of the new building today
Although Grand Rapids is a relatively silent city in the United States today, its past painting glory still radiates light

Best thing about this place is the location. Just across the street from Van Andel Arena, and maybe two blocks east of the comedy club that we went to, so both nights, it was a super quick walk ”home”. Had a one bedroom king bed suite. Quite roomy, with a kitchen area, living room, separate bedroom, and modern walk-in shower in the bathroom. Everything worked, everything was clean. Only complaint was that theres no fan in the bathroom, but, alot of hotels have this now, sadly. Parking in the garage across the street is $30/day at the moment, which, in my opinion is a little steep, but, theres a skywalk from the garage into the hotel, so that was nice. More so, in the winter, I'm sure. If in the area again, I'd definitely stay here again. Lots of places to eat within a couple blocks all around this hotel.

Hotel was good for going to a concert. Pool and hot tub had decent hours. Only complaint was not having coffee or towels re-stocked in the room. The walls were also a bit thin; could hear conversations in the hallway clearly and didn’t feel there was much privacy to be had in the bathroom

We stay in many Hilton properties as HH diamond members. This Hilton Garden Inn is one of the BEST we have found. Check-in was fast and flawless. Our room was clean, comfortable, and spacious. The staff was attentive and helpful. The breakfast was excellent - fresh, tasty, plentiful and the service was great. We could not have asked for more. Hilton is a premium brand and the people at this place really do hospitality right. Thanks for a great overnight visit!

We stayed at Home2Suites for work as it was the most centrally located hotel for our project. The check-in process was fast and the front desk person was very friendly. The room is a standard Home2Suites room, as it has a large counter area with a basic bed setup. Not my favorite bed in the world, but it will do for work. The carpet was clean of any stains, and the furniture showed no signs of wear. The bathroom was clean and had a full stand-up shower. I didn't see any signs of mold, and the floor of the shower was clean as well. We didn't use any of the amenities, such as food or the fitness center, but they looked fine.

WWonder_GirlThis is beautiful Hotel located on beautiful location. Rooms are beautiful and walkable from the River, On the opposite street is a Grand Rapids one of the oldest building and it’s beautiful. There was a little miscommunication during our check-in. We were told that breakfast timing is from 7-10am but when we reached for breakfast at 9:10, they were already closing and cleaning restaurant. There were around 5-7 families who came after 9 for breakfast. But restaurant gave bread, fruits, butter, Jams, Coffee so we had breakfast. Other than everything was perfect.
The Fairfield Inn in Grand Rapids sent me an email asking for my feedback. The link to the survey didn't work. If it had, I would write that the tub drain was very slow, backed up over your ankles while showering. The door to the room would not lock. There is a hole in the carpet between the beds. The chair in the room is threadbare with the sides nearly falling off. The last day I was there the heaters under the breakfast items were not working. At 7:30 AM the food was stone cold. To add to my frustration they won't accept a review of the hotel and their website will not allow a contact to be made with Marriott. (Frustrating website) The staff at the hotel was very friendly and helpful. It's not there fault the the hotel is falling down around them and the company IT doesn't work. I think they are trying to get me to go back to Hilton.
GGuest UserI want to start with the positives: Sales staff are GREAT. Front desk personnel are VERY helpful. Close to 28th Street where there's loads of restaurants and shopping. The A/C unit kept the room comfortable. The mattress and pillows were decent. The restaurant menu was good and our bartender was on the ball with our large group. Our meeting space was a good size. Our banquet meal was very good and plentiful. Now for the not-so-positives in no particular order: the baseboards in the bathroom were covered with dust and hair. The shower floor sloped in the wrong direction and pooled up where you step in. Our room carpet smelled like feet and y'all know exactly what that smells like! The lobby seating was FILTHY, STAINED and broke down. Breakfast was the same thing everyday, no variation. It is my opinion that it was not cooked on-site but was pre-cooked and reheated.
We decided to stay at this hotel for several nights since it was where the wedding reception we were attending was located. My husband and I were very disappointed, as were many of the other guests who were staying here for the same reason. We sacrificed the convenience of the wedding venue for a very poor hotel experience. I would like to mention that this was not due to the staff, whom we had no issues with. As mentioned in several other reviews, the room layouts at this 'boutique' hotel were varied and unfortunately did not take into account the comfort of the guests. Our specific room offered minimal space in the bedroom area, with lots of space devoted to a long hallway as well as an open bathroom area. The bathroom area was not separated from the bed area by a door, and our specific room housed an unused soaking tub and a two glass-sided stall shower. The fastest access to the toilet from the bedroom area required walking through the shower. Also, for a guest who chose to shower earlier than a sleeping partner, the light and noise from the shower would be very intrusive. Fortunately, the toilet area had a door for privacy. Except for the bathroom area which had ceramic tile, the rest of the living space was covered with vinyl tiles that were unsuccessfully supposed to simulate cork. This vinyl provided a very institutional, cold, and unappealing look, similar to a college dorm room. Since so much space was unnecessarily devoted to the long hall and bathroom space, the bedroom area was very cramped. There was no place to sit except for on the bed, or in a very uncomfortable, cheap plastic non-adjustable desk chair near a narrow desk. There were no bedside tables, but next to only one side of the bed was a 'cube' without storage. It was covered with a burlap-like material which we thought was a questionable choice for a room with multiple occupants. The other side of the bed had no such 'table', so if a guest required perhaps a water glass or a CPAP machine on their side, it needed to be placed on the floor. Room temperature could only be adjusted by the front desk, not by the thermostat located in the room. We didn't realize this until after a cool first night's stay when we reported that we thought our room's thermostat was broken. We were informed that room temperature adjustment was only by the front staff. No information regarding this was posted in the room. Regarding housekeeping, a small note on the inside of our door stated that there would be no housekeeping service provided, unless upon request. The closet was in the long hallway. It consisted of a small cabinet with two small desk-sized drawers that were supposed to accommodate all our belongings. In addition, only four hangers were initially provided, but this was remedied when we requested more. There was no safe in the room, which is usually standard in most hotels these days. The hotel is made up of two buildings connected by a hallway in the lobby. A
AAnonymous UserI personally think it is a very good hotel. Although it feels a bit old, all the environment inside is quite good. And very close to the airport, call UBER, about 10 minutes. And there are many shopping malls nearby. It is also very convenient to eat and eat. It is also very convenient to call a car to the city or nearby sightseeing spots.
GGuest UserThe rooms are clean the hospitality was amazing. A gentleman name Luke was very accommodating when we needed assistance. Always a smile on his face an ready to help any way he can. Check in was simple rates are amazing an the breakfast is alright. Hot coffee always on. Clean pool area is being kept up. Meet a few people on our stay an overall a nice location an friendly staff. Will be back
AAnson KuoI checked in late night that’s probably I been arranged to the fairest room on 2F. Elevator is far from front desk has walked 3 to 4 mins with my two big heavy luggage. Good workout but not so good for checking in late night.
MMaps47416721072This hotel was not very clean and had a foul musty stink to it throughout! The carpet was scuzzy. And the ”continental breakfast” was not provided in a very sanitary manner. The bread, donuts and muffins were not individually wrapped, and some folks were just using their fingers to pick up their item(s). I also had an issue with my extended stay, which was arranged before my arrival and check in. At check-in I was told everything was good for 2 nights, rather than the initial 1 night . . . and at the same rate. The next morning around 11:30a I got a call on my mobile asking when I was going to check out, since check-out was 11a and my stuff was still in the room. It was a nightmare to deal with this situation, since I was more than an hour away. Further I was told the room rate for the extra day would be more than my initial rate. After messing around with it for about 20 minutes, I was assured it was fine. (She had to speak with the clerk from the day before.) The whole experience was a nightmare . . . I will probably avoid this location in the future.
