The Spotlight on Sonesta Hotel Grand Rapids Airport

Convenient Comfort Near the Stage

Modern and welcoming, the Sonesta Hotel Grand Rapids Airport blends comfort and convenience just a short drive from top Grand Rapids concert venues. Located on 28th Street SE, this 3-star hotel has a relaxed vibe with useful amenities like an indoor pool, fitness center, and free airport shuttle—ideal for those flying in for a big show.

You'll find cozy shared spaces like a lounge and terrace, plus reliable free WiFi to post your concert clips in real time. Whether you're in town for a headliner or a local gig, this hotel makes sure your stay hits the right notes.

Why Concert-goers love it

With major venues just a few miles away, you'll enjoy quick access to shows without the downtown hassle. The Gerald R. Ford International Airport is just 3.1 miles from the hotel, so catching a flight after a festival weekend is a breeze. The 24-hour front desk and room service make late-night returns easy, while the peaceful setting offers a quieter place to crash after the encore.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable and comfortable base
  • Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list tour stop
  • Couples making a weekend of it with a relaxing vibe
  • Fans who want to wind down somewhere quiet post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want quality amenities

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant serves up American favorites that hit the spot before or after a concert. While 24/7 room service is available, nearby restaurants along 28th Street offer plenty of walkable options for a quick bite. Don’t worry about sleeping in—breakfast is offered daily, perfect for those post-show mornings.

Nightlife Options

While there's no live music in-house, the location puts you near several bars and lounges for a nightcap. Prefer something low-key? The hotel lounge and terrace are great for unwinding with a drink and debriefing your favorite setlist moments.

What People Say

Guests often praise the friendly staff, clean rooms, and proximity to the airport and venues. The indoor pool and fitness center also get a thumbs-up for pre-show energy boosts or next-day recovery. Many mention the ease of check-in and the reliable WiFi as big pluses.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers note that parts of the property could use a little refresh, and the area is more suburban than scenic. But for a concert-focused trip, the trade-off is convenience and calm.

The Bottom Line

With a solid mix of comfort, convenience, and access to Grand Rapids music venues, Sonesta Hotel Grand Rapids Airport makes a great base for your next concert night.

Timothy, Harrisville, visiting Intersection Grand Rapids Fri, 26 June 2015

It's not a word, but that's how I describe my stay, fantabulous! All the employees were very nice and helpful. My room was both clean and cozy, the hotel was walking distance to the mall, the movie theater and several great restaurants. Plus, in the parking lot is a Starbucks and across the street is the best doughnut shop ever! There is no doubt that when I come back to Grand Rapids I'm staying at the Ramada Inn.

Liked: Fantabulous!

LaurLa, Flint Thu, 25 August 2011

We didn't spend much time in our room. It was comfortable. We did like that it was connected to the "Old Chicago" Bar & Grill as it was pouring outside and didn't want to venture out for food. The pizza was AMAZING!

Liked: Very clean and nicely furnished
Disliked: AC unit in our room rattled all night long

Poor

Disliked: First we went down for dinner when the Cafe opened around 530 ( 4 adults) they had enough hamburger meat for 2 burgers. So 2 of us ordered a crispy chicken sandwich turned out they didn't have those either. Then the following day we where going to the pool and they had closed it 4 hrs for cleaning. The fridge didn't work in the room either.

Bad

Liked: Nothing
Disliked: There were stains on everything, everywhere. Cobwebs in every corner! The lights are so dim you can barely see after dark with EVERY light on. I'm assuming so that you can't see the filth!Not a great crowd whatsoever

Family suite fraud!

Liked: The staff at the front desk was very helpful.
Disliked: The room was not at all as the pictures and description provided from booking.The family room does not have a sitting area whatsoever, the room is a basic room with two queen beds and another room connected with two twins.The carpet in the room looks like it's been there 50 years as well as the furniture.The pool and hot tub are extremely small.The rooms connect to the pool area, tons of parents leaving their kids in the pool unattended. Definitely will NOT be returning

Stay in your rooms and...

Liked: We took our family to the pool area during our stay, and these ladies started yelling and swearing at each other about who was allowed in the hot tub. Made me and my partner uncomfortable as they were yelling at each other with us in between. Didn't seem like a safe environment for families/children. Unless you don't mind woman yelling, swearing and calling each other crackheads over a hot tub. Everything else was fine.

Wonderful stay, would love to...

Liked: It was wonderful. Was nervous about staying here with some of the reviews, but the room was clean and perfect size for the 4 adults and baby we had. The staff was very accommodating, if we asked for something we got it. Pool and hot tub were very nice just wish the pool was a couple feet deeper and that the water slide wasn't permanently closed as we were excited to try it. But other than that our stay was wonderful and I don't think any of us had any real complaints.

Liked: No soap in bathroom. Slide is a huge liability they don't make sure kids ain't climbing up and when told they ignored it.
