“Terrible”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2011

I would not recommend this place to anyone! Both experiences we had with them were awful. Two weeks ago, I went to check out the motel as we have been looking for a motel with weekly rates while we go house shopping. They let me see a room the first time and the room they showed me was awful. You walk in the room, and it's not too awfully bad, except the smell. It smelled like something died in that room. Walk back to the kitchenette area and the fridge door was broken off, which used to be under the kitchen sink and they had placed a small fridge in the room to replace it. The carpets were dirty, there was hair in the shower and on the toilet, and the room was just gross. The next time we went back on the possibility that the room just hadn't been cleaned yet. We put in an online reservation and called the day before our reservations date to verify that the rooms we requested would be reserved. 2 king kitchenettes. I talked to the manager and he verified everything and said they would be ready for us the next day. We get to the motel and the girl at the front said she can't rent them out to us because the only rooms they have for a week are double beds which cost anywhere from 30 - 70 dollars more per week. I explained that I talked to the manager the day before and she said, "well, he won't be here until 3 pm." I do not think the manager knows what his staff is doing and probably doesn't care. Trust me, you will not have a good experience at this motel.

“RUDENESS”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 May 2011

I was an employee at the Grand Rapids Inn and I have seen first hand how they are. The girl named Chrissy is VERY rude to customers, does not clean the rooms as the state requires and will kick anyone out she does not like and forget about getting your refund back because she will refuse to do so. The comforters and even the sheets are not changed for days to weeks on end AFTER a customer has stayed over. The rooms smell like cigeratte smoke, vial, puke, seimen and other smells I really can not inquire. The jacuzzis are NEVER cleaned and to top it all off, they rent rooms out to just paroled parolees. These are child molesters, drug dealers, violent offenders and more. Beware if you stay there. your best bet if you want a discount and a great room go to the Redroof Inn or even the Travelodge. Employees there will treat you with respect and the rooms are cleaned the way they should be.

“Worst Place Ever”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2011

We looked at two different rooms... there was holes in some of the walls, stains on the sheets and mold in the bathroom. We asked management for a clean room or a refund and that was not given. He told us that we could stay or he would call the cops! Can not believe that this place is rated so high. I dread hotel stay now because of the fear of going to another place like the Grand Rapids Inn.

“Great value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 June 2010

I checked in on June 4th for a festival in downtown Grand Rapids. I was greeted by a friendly staff who gave me a king size bed room for a very low price. Upon entering my room I found it to be clean with all the amenities I needed. I was very happy with my stay
I ended up staying the next day.

“Sorry place to stay”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 August 2009
1
person found this review helpful

I payed for the 3 night deal with my card. The room smelled like a cheap motel, the bed was sorry and woke up with a back ache! Oh well, I figured you get what you pay for. When I came back for the second night I found my key didn't work so I had the desk clerk re-key it only to find they rented it to someone else! They cleaned out the items I had in the fridge and wouldn't replace them. Well they gave me anouther room of course but how does someone re-rent a room that's been payed for already. I wouldn't stay there ever again!!
