Staff were great! The shower head leaked shooting upwards the ceiling and the mattresses were not the most comfortable.The lighting in the rooms could be better very dim. Dog friendly but not the best place to walk the dogs. Food was great! The room was clean

Absolutely loved this little boutique hotel! The room was clean and newly updated with really cool fixtures for small spaces! The staff (Eva et al) were so amazing! They made the best crepes and specialty coffees. The information binder in the room was made by the Grand Rapids High School woodworking department---nice touch!! I HIGHLY recommend staying here while in Grand Rapids!

It’s portrayed as an upscale hotel and one of the more expensive hotels in the area but the conditions are sub par. Earplugs on the nightstand, ac was leaking so the carpet was wet, noisy pipes, very basic room that was double the price of a bigger and nicer place at a lower rated hotel. Staff was extremely friendly and professional.

The staff was very, very nice and I had great interactions with all of them. The bistro is very cute and breakfast/coffee was delicious! The hotel was renovated, but my room wasn't cleaned particularly well. Some of the surfaces hadn't been wiped down and the carpeting had a lot of staining and it's probably time to replace it with something darker. Overall, the staff made it a really pleasant stay and it worked well for the one night I needed.
