Stayed here over Memorial Weekend. Great location for walking to everything in downtown GR. Having new been to Dt GR, all I can say is that it is a safe city, with great restaurants and hotels. The Courtyard is attached to other hotels via the skywalk, which made it easy to get around. Clean hotel, updated rooms. The only complaint... More

Stayed here for one night to celebrate a friend's soon-to-be wedding. The location is great in downtown Grand Rapids, literally across the street from the BOB and a 1 minute walk to Van Andel. Room was clean, bathroom clean, and had nice amenities. There was a ton of construction right outside the hotel when I stayed so everyone had to... More

The staff in the hotel were very friendly and knowledgable. Service was very good. There is valet parking or parking which is a couple of dollars cheaper if you park it yourself under the hotel.

We stayed overnight for a Mother's Day getaway. We've been through a lot over the past 5 months as my husband was diagnosed with a tumor in January and spent over 33 days in ICU.

We stayed for 1 night in April. Parking is convenient in the garage under the hotel. $20 I think it cost for overnight. Quick check-in. Very well appointed room. Comfy bed, nice large flat screen tv. Nice small sofa, coffee table, desk. Bathroom standard size. Did not use the pool/hot tub or exercise room. All on the small side but... More

this is a newly renovated hotel with brand new lobby, restaurant and rooms. everything is clean and modern, really great design. the pool is new and the gym is good, for what it is. i especially like the location, right in the center of grand rapids and easy access to a number of good restuarants/bars.

This is a really nice courtyard. Pool and exercise area better than most. The connected walkways to downtown destinations are fantastic. You can stay at the Courtyard and get to the JW via a walkway for an upscale bar or restaurant experience. Quiet, clean, updated. Great stay.
