We would stay here again. It was clean, kids swam in the pool and my husband used the gym. Breakfast was good. Nice open spaces in lobby. Room was set up well with mini frig and microwave. My only complaint is check-in and check out took a little while. At check in they started with one staff member and there were 3 of us in line. A second staff member was called out. At check out, only one staff member and again, I had to wait.

Very clean! Spacious room with king bed. Quiet air/heat in room. Mini fridge worked well. Nice hot breakfast with many choices. Bed was a little too soft for our preference, but overall a comfortable room. Convenient and close to freeway, but still quiet. Pleasant, helpful staff. Stayed here twice in the last year and happy with both stays. Would definitely stay again.

Hotel was clean and modern. Desk staff were very friendly. I don\'t believe in the "We won\'t clean your room unless you ask" trend hotels are following. Our room did get cleaned when we asked but it should happen on a daily basis whether we ask or not.

Hotel is tucked away in a dark area with just other hotels around, doesn’t feel very safe. Checked in & didn’t want a room by the elevator so we didn’t have to deal with the noise, second room was the last down a hall next to the exit on the first floor (already didn’t feel safe so not staying in that room) third room seemed fine until I pulled the sheets down and you could clearly tell someone had slept there and it smelled dirty, fourth and final room bcuz it was midnight at this point and the bed was definitely clean except for one of the pillows & the phone had something sticky all over the part that you talk in to. Got some snacks from the front desk area and one of them had expired July of 2024, it’s Oct 2024…… Definitely not staying at this location again, which is sad bcuz we chose it bcuz we have stayed in many Holiday Inns and haven't had any issues, we thought it was a good safe choice but apparently not.

Room was clean, staff was very friendly, breakfast was as expected but of good quality with plenty of food. My kids thoroughly enjoyed the pool and overall was a very nice experience and stay. Only negative, and this has nothing to do with the hotel itself or staff, is that they have a very nice outdoor seating area with a fire pit. Obviously lots of people enjoyed staying outside in the evening and talking and laughing and such. Our room was on the fourth floor directly above this area and unfortunately we could hear them being loud and laughing well into the night. Again, not the hotel‘s fault, just was simply the only downside that we had.

The shuttle bus driver takes his turns sharp and puts the pedal to the metal, I was sliding off the seat. The hotel is very nice! Make sure if you pay by expedia that the hotel does not charge you again, I had this happen but they fix it and were very kind.

Very clean, great breakfast options. Each staff member I encountered during my two-night stay was extremely impersonal. When checking in, the only time I was spoken to was to ask for my I.D. and credit card. When I asked my room number (because it wasn't communicated, I was told, "You can look at your key."

My wife and I traveled to Grand Rapids for a concert May 5th. We called and said we would be a late check-in. We arrived at the hotel to find that not one hotel staff was at the hotel. Not one. An office door was wide open, the door to the patio was propped open. Anybody could just walk in and do whatever they wanted. There was a young lady there that had been there for an hour before we got there trying to get somebody on the phone. At approximately 12:30 a.m. she got in touch with someone that told her somebody from the hotel was on their way. A gentleman showed up at approximately 1:00 a.m.. When he arrived there was no apology, no "hey, I'm sorry for what happened", nothing. I then asked him what he was planning on doing about these rooms (discount), something, anything. At that point he said "I ain't doin' a damn thing!" I asked him his name and what his position was for the hotel and he responded "I'm not tellin you nothin'!" Then he said "I'm just gonna cancel your reservation!" To say the least, we will never be using Holiday Inn anything in the future. A very dissatisfied customer Jeff Hermann.

Took several phone calls & a long wait with line ringing before someone answered to arrange for airport pick up. Interacted in person during my stay with two different front desk people who could have been nicer. A few things also missed by cleaning person in my room. Overall pretty good but not excellent.

The rooms I booked and paid for weeks ago was given away and at 1AM we were left without a room and needed to leave and drive an hour to stay in a much more accommodating hotel. The staff did nothing to remedy this. She literally looked at us and said “sorry, there’s no rooms.”
