10/10 Exceptional

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!

The bathroom sink was plugged and very slow draining. Other than that it was very clean and comfortable.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Small place, friendly staff. A/C is not up to par, but everything else good.

Always a delight

I always stay here. Staff is always friendly and great. Crepes are perfect and the cappucino rivals any great coffee shop.
Peter, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved the atmosphere and every single staff person had a smile!
CHRISTOPHER, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
