Wonderful Stay

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Apr 21, 2014
Stayed here for the weekend, first-timers, for the boyfriends birthday. The staff are so friendly, all wishing him a happy birthday -very nice! We booked a concierge level room with breakfast and cocktail hour daily. It was worth the extra price! The views are amazing on the 25th floor. Our room was very clean and the bed was comfy. The shower was a bit annoying but then again I'm a little picky. You have to reach in to turn the water on and when you do that you're getting sprayed. The bathroom room was very small too.

The cocktail hour was amazing! The food was delicious, the drinks were flowing :) Make sure you get there early and take advantage of it!

The breakfast was decent, a bit sad they had the same things both Saturday and Sunday mornings but all and all no complaints.

Would definitely recommend this hotel and would be happy to stay here again!

I had no idea that such a gem of a hotel was right in my own state. I was lucky enough to stay at the Amway last week and was blown away by how fabulous it was. The hotel is historic and elegant and the staff is superb. I was in the historic section and had a lovely spacious room with a great view. The bed and pillows were heavenly. I ordered room service several times and each time I was impressed with the professionalism of the server. If you are lucky enough to have Chana as the server you will be greeted at your door with a huge smile and impeccable service. The hotel is located in a great area with shopping and dining within walking distance but the hotel has great dining right on site. You won't want to ever leave. I know I didn't!

Room tip: Stay in the historic section!

We stayed at the hotel as we were competing in a competition based at the hotel and the adjoined DeVos hall. The hotel is huge and was an excellent base for the weekend.
$8 a day parking in the car park next to the hotel all joined together by indoor sky walks.

There is even a Starbucks in the hotel.

Stayed here during the North Americsn Brass Band Association Championships. I was given a room in the newer "tower" side of the hotel which was a handicapped room. There was also some construction/renovation going on in that part of the building, which was interfering with my afternoon nap. I asked to be moved to a different room, so they moved me to a BEAUTIFUL room in the historic side of the hotel and were incredibly nice about it.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Amway. The view from our room was beautiful. The room was clean and beautiful. I loved the large bath sheets and the beds were extremely comfortable. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. It is conveniently located, with plenty of things to do nearby. I would definitely stay again.

Visited Grand Rapids for a conference with 3 colleagues... the front desk staff was very accommodating to our request to be given rooms on 1 floor. I did not get a king bed but was given a corner room... I love a lot of windows... Choose the tower side if you prefer a more modern decor. It was a very quiet night... Love coffee so having Starbucks onsite was a plus. Everyone I dealt with from front desk, bellhop, valet staff, to doorman all were so kind and friendly.
