I've stayed here many times. It is a fresh Courtyard with a nice Bistro and well decorated rooms. Friendly staff, low turnover = familiar faces. Adjoins a parking garage ($14/day) with valet parking ($19) available. Walking distance to GRAM, Van Andel Arena, running and walking paths, on the river, Amway Grand Plaza, BOB, Grand Rapids Brewing, Leo's, Bistro Bella Vita,... More

We stayed here for one night on a very quick trip to grand rapids. This courtyard is right downtown and you have lots of places you can eat and shop nearby as well as visit some local sights. Gerald Ford museum, van andle arena etc. Not as fancy of course as the jw Marriott nearby but you can take the... More

Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for staying with us on your quick visit to Grand Rapids! I'm glad you took note of all the possibilities the skywalk provides - especially in the winter months - to check out all the nearby attractions without having to go outside or find other parking. I hope that you will stay with us again,... More

Our Family came to watch our daughter run her first 1/2 marathon. The room was great and very close to the start and finish lines. It was a pleasure to stay at the Courtyard. Would stay with you again, gladly.

I stayed at the hotel as I had an event across the street at the B.O.B. The rooms are very, very clean, spacious, and comfortable. The "electronic" amenities are very good as well. USB plugs built into the entertainment system (to charge your cell phone, etc.) are very handy, and you can plug your laptop in (if you bring a... More

If you are going to Grand Rapids, what better place to stay than a luxury hotel on the shores of the Grand Rapids! This hotel has a convenient parking garage across the street, many restaurants and shopping places within walking distance. The hotel itself is clean, luxurious and well-staffed. Nice amenities and good room service. The price was reasonable when... More

Was blown away by the staff helpfulness as well as the food in the hotel Bistro. The room was nice and clean, with a very comfortable bed. It had all of the normal Courtyard perks, as well as a great location in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids. There is a large variety of places to eat around as well.... More

This is a very nice hotel that is adorably priced in Grand Rapids. ThIe rooms are spacious and the hotel is very clean. It is connected via the walkway in downtown Grand Rapids which makes getting around in the winter very easy. The hotel has a connected garage which is reasonably priced.

I recently stayed at the Courtyard to attend a conference at the Amway. I was pleasantly surprised how close the two hotels were to each other and were connected through tunnels so we didn't have to go out in the cold. It was also very close to restaurants nearby. The room was nice but smelled a bit musty because they... More

We pulled up to the hotel and were greeted by the valet. He explained the charges (a very reasonable $5 over the regular parking rate) and helped us with our luggage. He then escorted us to the desk for check in. The front desk was equally helpful, explaining how to get to our event and the restaurant specials that were... More

I have stayed in dozens of Courtyard Marriotts, and this one by far outshines them all.
