Why Concert-goers love it

Whether you're attending a show at Van Andel Arena or catching a summer concert at Meijer Gardens, this hotel puts you within easy reach of the action. It's just a 10–15 minute drive to most major venues, but far enough removed for a quieter night's sleep post-show.

Food and Drink Options

The hotel serves a daily hot breakfast—perfect for late risers recovering from a night out. While there's no 24-hour room service, guests love the convenience of having Gravity Taphouse & Grille right on-site, offering hearty dinners and drinks into the evening. Several restaurants and casual spots are also a short drive or rideshare away.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is relaxed and quiet, it's only a short ride to downtown Grand Rapids where you'll find plenty of bars, breweries, and live music venues. Prefer to stay in? Gravity Taphouse offers a cozy atmosphere and local craft beer without needing to leave the property.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the hotel’s cleanliness, friendly staff, and spacious rooms. The indoor pool and hot tub are a hit for unwinding after a show, and the breakfast gets high marks for variety and quality. Many reviewers mention how relaxing it is to stay slightly outside the city after a busy night downtown.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel is a bit removed from downtown, so a car or rideshare is helpful. The on-site food options are limited late at night, so plan ahead if you're coming back hungry after a show.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a peaceful, comfy place to recharge without sacrificing location, Country Inn & Suites by Radisson Grand Rapids East MI strikes the perfect balance.
