Hotels Near Sushi Market in Grand Rapids

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.

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.

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

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

The price is OK!

The pool is tiny unlike the pictures. There were not enough towels in the room (said they would send up and never did) and amenities like shampoo were minuscule. Then we could not get into our room due to low battery. We waited in the hallway for 10 minutes after the front desk cleared this up until a very nice maintenance man fixed it up. Breakfast is not included. The hook on the bathroom door was broken and hanging by a thread. The air conditioner blasts directly onto your bed. The bathroom is very very small. There’s no Kleenex and insufficient toilet paper. I don’t usually hate on places but for what we paid - exceeding even prices in CA - it was sad. Two stars for nice shuttle service and nice service at the bar. Do not stay here if you can help it.

Hygienic: clean and tidy Environment: Comfortable and hygienic Service: OK

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
