reat location not far from downtown GR, very clean room ( we were impressed since so many reviews talk negatively) outside of the building is a bit dated but it’s kept up, halls were clean , bed was comfortable, there was a microwave in the room and a refrigerator. Sundance restaurant is 1 mile away. Great place to get breakfast. lobby was abit on the heavy smell of dope but its a typical Michigan smell in most hotels in this State so it was to be expected. That was the only place it could be smelt. We’d stay here again

Don’t book if you have kids!!!!!!

The agent that checked me in was very disrespectful and seemed racist. He was upset that I had booked a King bedroom for myself and my 3 little children who were with me, which was an honest mistake not informing them that the room would be for Myself and 3 kids… as a single mom, I did assume that would not be a big deal… but when the agent realized I had my children with me… he immediately called me in my room and began to speak to me in a very demeaning tone… He told me I booked without informing them I had 3kids who would be with me, which was true… however, when I realized what I had done, I asked him what he wanted me to do and he did say we could stay, but then proceeded to scold me and say I better make sure they don’t leave any stains on anything… To be honest, I felt like I was being profiled… single black mom with 3 kids, she won’t be able to keep them from making a mess…The way that man spoke to me had me scared and hurt and uncomfortable. I immediately wanted to leave but because we had travelled 4.5hours from Cleveland to Michigan for the Puma sponsored basketball my eldest son was playing in. We were tired and I was overwhelmed and overstimulated already to say the least, only to be reminded that I just may not be a good enough mom. I say I hope that never happens to anyone let alone someone who is battling with anxiety depression and self esteem issues. I ended up checking out the next morning cutting my 2 night reservation short and booked at Best Western

Decent price

I stayed here for a one night business trip. I probably would not have chosen it if it was for my family. Nothing terribly wrong, just an old hotel that was very tired and dated.

Temp is what it is

While the photos look a bit better than the actual it was ok clean. You can't adjust the heat that was an issue , it's cold outside in Michigan during winter , could have use a bit more warmth.

Had to pay extra to have a room on main floor as they don’t have elevator. Had no safe way for someone with oxygen to get to second floor. As walking up and down stairs with oxygen is unsafe. Has to put $50 security deposit which wasn’t noted during booking. Tried to say I didn’t put one down because I paid cash. Which I had my receipt for it. Then tried to say someone was smoking in the room which no one was. Bed was also uncomfortable. Do not recommend staying here

I didn’t have a problem with almost everything but something happened that made me not like my stay. I came in with three suitcases and I had booked a floor on the first floor but when I got there, I couldn’t get that so I said fine, a top floor is fine. I have to bring those three heavy suitcases up to the room by myself, I was up and down the stairs three times and each time I had to reopen the door. Same thing happened when I was supposed to leave. No one even offered to help me. Very disappointed.

The heat didn’t work in my room, until the next day when I checked out. I asked the front desk for help and was told “it just works”. There were cricket hairs all wound up a couple of the towels. The pillows smelled liked sweat. The tile floors were nice until the people above my room were partying all night with shoes on. No sound barrier wall to wall. I could hear my neighbors on the bed next to my room and a baby to the other side. If you’re looking for sleep, get a priced hotel. The price was great and it matched the quality. P.S. don’t look under the bed.
