Great breakfast at the motel restaurant with a voucher. Large room with comfortable beds. I had a great pillow. Two issues, the door fit poorly and was hard to open and close. Second, the floor coverings need replacement.

Cleanliness is acceptable, except the carpet. They really need to clean it up soon. Everything is on a small scale to lower the operational cost. Yet, the service corresponds with the price. An overall three rating is the top mark for this facility.
They’ve done a really nice job with this property. It has a few limitations inherent in what they started with. The walls are a bit thin and it’s in a very busy street. But it’s otherwise quite nice and we would stay there again.
no phone to call front desk could have used a blanket but had PJs on and didnt want to run down to front desk. If you lay your head on the pillow the sheet and blanket barely cover your arms you have to lie closer to the end of the bed to be able to cover yourself. Could have pulled sheets and blankets out but I tried and pretty hard and being chilly without a heavier blanket to stay warm.
However very clean and nice place
The team at Hotel Rapids was truly wonderful. From the check in process to evenings in the bistro, everyone was welcoming, accommodating, and genuine.
I would highly recommend staying here for anyone traveling near the Grand Rapids area. We will be back.
Food was great, staff was friendly and accommodating!
Our room was clean, condition was not as expected. The carpeting had wrinkle creases across room, furniture had several chips, shower seals were discolored/deteriorating. After showering noticed a big pool of water in corner outside of shower. The room door was tight...hard to open and close.
Would of given an excellent rating if room was touched up, but cleanliness is most important which it was!!
This motel was so cute!! So clean and new. It was great to walk out our door and be steps away from a bonfire pit, outdoor tables, the little bistro where you could grab a happy hour drink. Happy Hour until 10Pm!! Wow! Would highly recommend!
First time we stayed here. Very Clean and already cooled room, nice relief since it was so hot out and some small, thoughtful items left out for us...nice touch! Staff very friendly and helpful. This hotel is rt in middle of town, close to everything. Highly recommend.
