Stayed here one night for business on my first trip to Grand Rapids and was very pleased. Beautiful lobby, best location in town, friendly and attentive service, excellently designed and well-appointed rooms (including a spacious bathroom and nice HDTV), and delicious breakfast in the restaurant. This JW Marriott property would hold its own among top hotels in Chicago, New York,... more

My husband and I traveled from the Detroit area and stayed overnight for our anniversary using Mariott Rewards Points. Upon arrival we were greeted outside immediately. The service at this hotel from check-in to departure was excellent. Be careful of the valet fee ($25.00) which we didn't know going in. You can probably park the car yourself across the street... more

Surprisingly, this new hotel has awesome design elements throughout. The lobby overlooks the river. The hip ultramodern bar and restaurant has some of the most interesting lighting. The balcony wall on the top floor when you get off the elevator gives spectacular views of the outdoors from 24 floors of soaring glass walls. Walk over to the edge of the... more

I stay here for business on a regular basis, and look forward to it every time! The hotel is easily accessible from all directions, with ample parking and attentive valet service - a nice plus in the colder winter months. The lobby is inviting and can get a bit noisy at night, which does carry upstairs due to the open... more

Top notch hotel. The staff are wonderful and very accomodating. They even gave my husband and I an anniversary card and chocolates - special delivered to our room - what a nice surprise! more

I was favorably impressed. Service was outstanding-everyone was very helpful and pleasant. Ate at the restaurant and food was very good. Family member used the... more

This was a great hotel stay in a great hotel. Room was very comfortable, with great bed and chaise type lounge chair overlooking the river. Room also had terrific work chair at the desk - I'm pretty sure it's a Steelcase chair, because much of the furniture in building is by Steelcase. We loved lounging by the almost floor to... more

I've stayed at the JW in Grand Rapids twice now. I have been in a River View room both times. The first time was a room on the 13th floor right by the elevators and I have to say - heard NO noise the entire night - from the hallway, the elevators or other rooms. The second stay was a... more

We stayed for a weekend getaway and were pleased with this hotel. The staff was friendly, though we really didn't have much need for assistance, so our communication was limited to checking in and checking out. A request for a corkscrew did take a couple of calls and almost a half hour to be delivered. Love the concept of the... more
