The Spotlight on CityFlatsHotel - Grand Rapids Ascend Hotel Collection

Eco-Chic Comfort in the Heart of Grand Rapids

Modern, boutique, and environmentally conscious, CityFlatsHotel - Grand Rapids Ascend Hotel Collection puts you right in the middle of downtown Grand Rapids. Just steps from the Grand Rapids Art Museum and a short walk to multiple music venues and nightlife hotspots, this stylish hotel offers a vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere. Each room features bold design elements, locally-crafted furniture, and eco-friendly touches like bamboo linens and recycled materials, making your stay both comfortable and sustainable.

Why Concert-goers love it

Being centrally located means you're within easy walking distance of some of Grand Rapids’ top concert halls and live music spots. After the show, there’s no need to worry about late-night transportation. The hotel’s soundproofed rooms offer a quiet retreat, while the 4:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out give you just the right amount of flexibility for a concert-filled weekend.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a stylish downtown base
  • Solo travelers catching a dream tour stop
  • Couples turning a concert into a weekend escape
  • Fans who want a peaceful night after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to sacrifice comfort or design

Food and Drink Options

CityFlatsHotel offers several convenient dining choices perfect for concert-goers. The on-site CitySen Lounge serves up lunch and dinner with a daily Happy Hour from 4:00 PM–6:00 PM, ideal for pre-show drinks. For post-show snacks or a caffeine fix any time, CityBru—the 24-hour coffee shop—has you covered with fair trade coffee, pastries, and light bites. While there's no traditional late-night dining, the round-the-clock coffee shop makes up for it. Breakfast is available too, perfect for those slow mornings after a big night out.

Nightlife Options

You're just minutes away from Grand Rapids’ downtown nightlife scene. Whether you're heading to a bar, club, or lounge after the concert, everything is within easy walking distance. The CitySen Lounge also offers a more relaxed setting for craft cocktails and conversation without leaving the hotel.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the hotel’s modern design, friendly staff, and prime location. Reviewers love the unique, locally-made furnishings and stylish vibe. Many note the hotel’s walkability to venues, restaurants, and cultural attractions as a major plus. The eco-friendly touches also win points with sustainability-minded travelers.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention a lack of on-site parking and that the downtown location can lead to occasional street noise if you’re facing the front. Others wish for more extensive late-night dining options. Still, the positives far outweigh the minor drawbacks.

The Bottom Line

If you're headed to Grand Rapids for a concert, CityFlatsHotel offers a comfortable, design-forward, and eco-conscious stay just steps from the city's top venues.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Dianne, Garden City, visiting GLC Live at 20 Monroe

Much to my dismay the room was dusty and dirty; the floors weren't mopped or swept, with hair all over the bathroom floor; the towels were old and thin, and frayed; the tissue box was empty and not sure the sheets on the bed were even changed prior to our visit; even the two apples were old.

Liked: The location.
Disliked: The housekeeping.

Superb

Liked: Kind, caring employees, exceptional service.
Disliked: They said my room was on the second floor, but it felt like a basement. One tiny window high up looking on what seemed to be a window well. Next time I'll say I want a view. Also, people should be warned about the price of parking.

Close to downtown and a...

Liked: Location was great, room was clean, staff was very kind, free water boxes (as much as we wanted). Very quiet, very comfy.
Disliked: I still don't understand how the lights in the room worked. Some switches turned on some lights, some switches enabled or disabled other switches for other lights. Very confusing. We also spent like 20 min trying to figure out how to close the windows lol.

DOES NOT LOOK LIKE PHOTOS

Liked: The window view was cute. Location was okay - walkable to everything. That’s pretty much it.
Disliked: Overall DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THE PHOTOS AT ALL. There is NO MINU FRIDGE or anything in the unit which is crazy! We had nowhere to store food. The WiFi was terrible & I work from home so struggled through hotspot the entire week. Lime green ugly walls unlike the photos. The floors look and feel dirty. Everything is worn down. Not soundproof at all but luckily the city was pretty dead. From the photos the hotel looks modern but in person it looks like an 80s run down place. The shower sprays everywhere and no control over the head (see pics) it sprays right out of the cracks of the door and causes a pool of water every time. Shower door doesn’t even fully shut, you can’t pull it in after you there’s no handles.. you can hear the sloshing of water through the pipes in the wall. The towels are all different & look worn out and some yellowed. The sheets feel like plastic and wrinkle like it too. The AC is ok but not the best. The floors feel like plastic cork. The kids on staff are really nice anyone who looked like management is a bit rude - they asked what room we’re staying and if we’re staying in the hotel multiple times as if after a week they don’t recognize their guests. Do not recommend it here for more than 1 night. You can see how it actually looks from photos I took.

Perry Mon, 30 June 2025

Pleasant

Liked: The bed was very comfortable.
Disliked: The parking was the main reason I wouldnt stay again 48 bucks for less than 24 hour parking is crazy. The shower sprayed onto the floor and soaked the bathroom with the door closed. There were stains on the comforter, no mini fridge, and you had to walk to the bar for ice.
