Top Gerald R. Ford Museum Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Grand Rapids East, MI

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean hotel with helpful staff. Location was perfect for our planned outings. Restaurants and shopping also close by. Breakfast was good and always kept full. We will stay here again."

Amway Grand Plaza, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived on an extremely busy Saturday. The staff was on task. The check in process was smooth. Bell Hop customer service was informative and helped with a smile."

The Grand Select

8/10 Good

"We booked a last-minute stay and didn't know the property was being renovated (early Oct 2026), so there was no breakfast and the pool was not open. That was the reason for 4 stars. Wish we had known that before booking, but it probably explains the lower price (which is why we picked it). The place was messy from renovation (the workers did not clean up after themselves) but what we saw of the materials and color choices looked good, so we think it will look really nice when they're done. The suite itself was nice and the 'living room' furnishings looked a bit tired but functional. A/C worked well and wasn't loud."

Holiday Inn Grand Rapids Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"It's a great place to stay. Close to downtown events. Walking distant or free shuttle from Holiday Inn. Will stay there again."
