As a former CHOICE hotel Manager for Comfort Suites South in Grand Rapids, Mi., I was so impressed by the new management of this hotel. Their friendly, hospitable service, coupled with clean comfortable rooms, pool and exterior care shows they care for both for the CHOICE brand and their property. I was impressed and enjoyed my visit!

This was a one night stay to be close to a concert venue. The property outside has not been kept up, the entrance door is propped up and sitting next to the the entrance. the grass had not been cut, the outside has not been maintained. The carpets we not vacumed in the hallway. The room itself was clean. there was cups and coffee packs but no coffee maker, the bed was comfortable. There was no hot water for a shower. the breakfast was just cereal and oatmeal, juice and coffee and tea but only served on weekends. I would not stay here again, not worth the price.

This place is directly out of the inter-city of Deli. We spent four nights here, and this is what we experienced: I had to yell at the manager to get our room cleaned. No clean towels, the fire alarm was pulled out of the ceiling, the front desk person refused to get the manager, window screens were falling out of the windows, parking was very tight, I had to call the front desk to get the instructions on operating the television. Unless you plan on checking in late evening and checking out early morning, I would highly recommend finding another place.

Check in went fine. The room had a smell that irritated my allergies. The refrigerator was old and the microwave had a broken/missing handle. Didn’t want to stay so we checked out early. Bathroom did not have shampoo, only conditioner. Overall rating for this property is very poor

Recommend for Worst Case Scenario

The the amount this place cost, it was absolutely disgusting to know what I paid for what we got. Check in was slow. The room key didnt work, so they moved us to a different room. Walked in the room, the light switch didnt work. Sat on the bed and i was squeaky metal. When pulled back the covers, there were hairs and crumbs. The bathroom had a nice shower, however took almost 5 minutes for warm enough water to shower to start running. Towels were less than pleasant, but it was something than nothing. For $60/night, I'd expect things like this, but for $285/night, it was pretty bad.

It's a fairly inexpensive place to spend the night; it's not the most comfortable, but it's acceptable. Unfortunately, during several nights I spent there, the hot water didn't work, the TV channels didn't always work, and the sink had a leak. Another thing that caught my attention was the lack of courtesy and attentiveness of the staff. If you're looking for a place to stop and rest before continuing on your way, they might be able to accommodate you.

We decided to cut our valentine's weekend short due to the weather and its continued deplorable conditions that were being forecast. Called to cancel our reservation as a courtesy knowing we wouldn't receive our money back. The woman was extremely rude and in instisted I couldn't cancel. I finally said, "Well we will not be there and hung up." I never asked for any money back she was immediately just defensive and ride saying, "u can't cancel."
