We stayed in a family suite which was like a little apartment. We appreciated the cleanliness. The breakfast voucher was for only 2 people, and we were a family of eight so that didnt work for us.

Older roadside motel that was converted and updated to a nicer facility. Although the price was steep ($260) for just an overnight lodging, and the bathroom was very small, the shower was hot and strong with a seat. The room was spacious for a double, the beds were very comfortable, and the cosmetic features have all been updated, but it’s still old.

I come to Grand Rapids every week for work and this is the only place I’ll stay! It has become my home away from home. They have the best food in town, an excellent wine selection, and wonderful crafted cocktails. The staff is also top notch. They get to know their regulars and truly care about their guests.

Quant charm, and a very marvelous staff who take pride in the history. I also like that Minnesota made/produced beverage, food and gift items were featured.
