Reviews for Grand Rapids Inn
Review 1:We arrived around 12 midnight after our flight. Before arriving to Michigan I already had ana email confirmation stating that I Reserved two nights. When we got to the hotel we went inside the lobby and the man was rude at first. He asked me for my confirmation number and then we paid for two nights. The next morning we had two interruptions from him and the housekeeping lady saying that we needed to open the door because it was time for checkout. My boyfriend then told him that we had paid for two nights and he left. I also paid for wifi that didn't work and they didn't refund me my money. The bathroom toilet didn't flush, the shower was broken, and the heat didn't work properly.
Review 2:The front desk clerk was watching a movie when we walked in and took a few minutes to actually acknowledge us. Then he seemed disgruntled at the fact that we booked the room for a cheaper price. Also our room had half of a roll of toilet tissue and no refill.
Review 3:Loved the spa. Nice and relaxing. Large shower as well. Quiet area and close to restaurants.
Review 4:Bugs, amount of towels provided(very skimpy) no breakfast, coffee pots present but none made, Internet was horrible no band width nor speed
Review 5:The price, the wood floors although my feet were black by the end of the night walking inside the hotel room .
Review 6:This place is full of perolees and bugs....I'd rather sleep in my car for a week then spend one night here. they wouldn't even give me a refund when I told them about all of the bugs. disgusting
Review 7:The room had a musty smell.There was no chair or toilet paper in the room. Had to ask for both items, which were brought fairly quickly. Saw a couple of roaches in the room and also in the tub..
Review 8:The price and that the bed linen was clean.
Review 9:Staff at check in was rude. Almost seemed bothered that he had to do his job. A lot of shady characters around the building, most of whom looked like they lived there. Room was extremely dated and smelled pretty bad. Refrigerator did not work and was full of fruit flies.
Review 10:Nothing
Review 11:Everything. Once we walked into the room and went to the bathroom there were cockroaches everywhere. We walked right out and went across the street to the next hotel.
Review 12:Run down. Pictures were from a better time. Most of the occupants were on the less than savory side. Dead bugs on surfaces. At check-in I was told they would honor my on-line price reservation even though they were supposed to charge more. Never heard of such a thing.
Review 13:Leaving the next morning.
Review 14:I got a phone call on my room's phone from a weird lady who said sheis from another room. And I called front desk and nobody believes me soI left immediately and check out. The good side is they refund me backmy next night's reservation.
Review 15:wifi would not stay up, electrical sockets didn't work, Microware no power, Could not take shower due to bathtub cold water knot stuck
Review 16:Easy on/off highway
Review 17:The place was a dump, the comforter had blood stains on it...overall I was afraid to sleep anywhere, I felt dirty I would never stay again and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Review 18:The clerk refunded my 5.00
Review 19:Rooms were not as pictured. Cleaning staff were polite but over used bleach so my room had to be aired out. I was not told it was a place where people could rent for a week at a time.
Review 20:We had dirty bedsheets and a coke bottle left over in the fridge from the previous people that makes you wander how much the room was cleaned after the last occupants
Review 21:nothing I slept with my clothes on fearing to be in a bed that was obvious not changed
Review 22:First off, our room smelled heavily of marijuana. When we peeledback the blanket to sleep at night, we actually found marijuana onthe pillow.There was a HUGE wet spot on the carpet (approx. 4 feet in diameter) that smelled of mold. The wifi was also NOT free. My friend paid $15 extra at the desk for a wifi password which never even worked.
Review 23:We really couldn't beat the price of this place since we werelooking to save money on our trip.
Review 24:The entire hotel was dirty, and not what the pictures show. The bed was broken, the room smelled like old smoke, the in room jacuzzi was dirty along with the shower, mold in the room, floors were nasty.....lets just say they had an option for daily rates also. Will NEVER return or recommend!!!
Review 25:Didn't get the room we reserved. Nothing worked in rooms they were filthy dirty !
Review 26:Nothing ! Why even bother booking when you arrive to find its not available !
Review 27:We checked into a super cold room (no heat was turned on) and it was a snowy/ cold winter night, had cigarretts in the non smoking room. The room was dirty, no wifi, staff was not friendly. I will never come back to this hotel. It was a disaster, absolutely terrible.
Review 28:I liked nopthing about this hotel.
Review 29:After complaining about the large amount of blood stains on the cover on the bed, coffee stains on the sheets and the nonfunctioning smoke detector they refused to give me my money back.
Review 30:Absolutely nothing.
Review 31:Dirty, smelled, bugs
Review 32:The room was filthy. Footprints everywhere. Hand prints all over the bathroom. Also, they have centipedes! When I informed the staff of the big infestation his response was "well they come from the ground, I can't control whether they come in your room or not".
Review 33:When I checked in and went to the room the door was open and room was used. Staff was very rude. There was drug traffic all night long. There was not free Wifi as stated front desk said we had to pay for it. Room was very dirty. Old food in various places. I do not recommend to any one.
Review 34:The wifi did not work in our room, owner was rude, room was not clean, shower was so small you could not shower in it, bathroom door would not shut!
Review 35:The housekeeping used to go every morning nocking the door like if she was in the jungle and open the door even dough we toll her that didn't need anything. Also there were cockorachs and a big smell of cigarettes every morning.
Review 36:It could use more modern technology but they v were remodeling some of the other room's while we were there. Even if they never finished the remodeling project is still a great place to stay.
Review 37:It's in the middle night nick will always make sure your happy with everything that is, wrong. I stayed there with my 2 older kids and I don't understand why people are giving bad reviews. Their is not drug dealers outside of your room nor is there prostitute on the premises. When visiting travel back to grand Rapids in will definitely stay at the grand Rapids Inn again with all 5 of my children. Thank you nick and you're staff for all you did to make our stay as pleasant as possible during the very first snow storm that my kids got to see.
Review 38:The room was in a deplorable condition.someone had stubbed cigarettes against the wall next to the bed. There were packages of ketchup behind the baseboards by the bed. The plaster was coming off the wall next to the air conditioner, the plug in did not work. Bed looked rumpled ,like someone had already slept in it. There was a toilet plunger in the bathroom which my husband had to use after he used the toilet. The tub was filthy. Not sure when it got a good scrubbing. Even though the room was supposed to be smoke free , you could smell smoke. By the time we left (10 min) our clothing and hair smelt of smoke. They showed us another room, this room was just as bad. Three of the four lights did not work, room was smelly , toilet had plunger . There were unsavoury characters hanging around the building, garbage was strewed all over the yard and walkways to the room .Needless to say we informed the desk clerk we were leaving and would like a refund. We were told to call the owners the next day. The owners answer was , sorry no refund. There is nothing wrong with the rooms. I have never come across facilities like these. Luckily we were able to procure a room at the travel lodge across the road. Trust me the saying "if it is too good to be true, it is"comes to mind.
Review 39:I stayed in room #222 and it was filthy. It's really a shame that management of this hotel did not do their job. This hotel should not be on the market at all.
Review 40:There was a couple fighting outside our room the whole time and overall didn't feel fully safe. We did a search and there are 36 sex offenders that call this place their home.
Review 41:I liked the value of my money in regards to my stay.
Review 42:The staff was rude!! No toiletries... Lights weren't working.. no ine changed my sheets or did any room service while i was there. Pricing is ridiculously high for a room which is not even worth it. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. PS Not forgetting the roaches.
Review 43:Nothing!!!
Review 44:The towels were so old they were gray instead of white. There was trash left in the bathroom on the floor. One of the beds had no sheet, just a coverlet. The other bed was so wrinkled that it looked like the sheets had not been changed. It was just bad all around - not even worth the 50 bucks...
Review 45:Although the rooms do look good on the photos there are many details that could be improved upon. The hot tube room is nice but could use new carpet. The towels looked like they were hand washed and put on a clothes line. The room also had a "musty" odor. And I would say the bathroom was "basically" clean, it tolerable to use.
Review 46:It appears as though the hotel has made an effort to update the rooms. I did appreciate the effort but there is room to improve. The location and hotel were quiet and did allow us to sleep peacefully.
Review 47:No internet and the desk person had no idea how to make it work. The room was not real clean and there were bugs in the bathroom. It was a good location.
Review 48:The bed was comfortable and the accommodations were fine. Easy in and out.
Review 49:Odor in room so bad wouldn't bring bags in Very dirty and little concern from staff about cleanliness and bugs
Review 50:Location Good Price ok deal others close in price range Restaurant next door great
Review 51:This place was absolutely disgusting. The room was extremely dirty, there was no toilet paper anywhere in the room, and I stepped on a beer bottle cap that was on the floor next to the bed. Both the bedroom and bathroom had obviously not been cleaned in months. We only stayed for ten minutes before deciding we did not feel safe enough to stay here. Do not stay at this place. It is gross and unsafe. You could not pay me to go back.
Review 52:Dumpy. Killed Cockroach. Imprint of where someone had laid on the bed. Bathroom was gross. We didn't stay. Sheriff was there arresting a women when we checked in. The Sheriff told us we were in a bad area and it wasn't safe there. We got our money back and left.
Review 53:The hot tub did not work, which was the whole reason for booking the room. My husband called the desk to ask about it, the reply was 'well, there is a sensor for the water level'. My husband told the desk clerk when we checked out, no accommodations were made in adjusting our bill. We basically had a large bath.
Review 54:The price
Review 55:the filth of the hotel, website was definitely misleading with their pics. the pics would have you think the rooms would be clean and somewhat updated. not the case it was a cheap, rundown motel fit for drug addicts and ladies of the night.
Review 56:nothing
Review 57:Everything. Staff was extremely rude. 30 minutes prior to check out my door was opened (had chain lock on it, thankfully) with housekeeping yelling at us to check out. Shocked, went outside and she was doing this to all of the rooms...never have experienced that and I travel every weekend. Room was dirty, fridge/freezer had dead bugs. The bed is constructed of 2x4's and you can see it. Empty beer bottles outside everywhere. People wondering around all hours. When we returned for our dreadful stay, a man kept hollering at us as we walked to our room, followed us to our room. (He left once he realized we weren't letting him in, but not before we stated we had called the police) Asked for internet password, to our surprise it was $5 a day. Overall place is run down, people in and out all night, staff is rude and would not know it if I came across a staff member as they all had sweats on, housekeeping had slippers. GO ANYWHERE ELSE. Place is not safe or clean. Better off in your car. Wish I would have not been in a hurry and have done more research.
Review 58:Nothing.
Review 59:There is no way to properly describe how awful this place is. I was only in the room for one minute before I realized it was covered in roaches and I grab my bags and ran out as fast as I could. It's filthy, NO HOUSEKEEPING, filled with roaches. DO NOT STAY HERE!! spend a few extra dollars and stay anywhere but here!
