The Spotlight on Econo Lodge & Suites

Affordable Comfort Near the Grand Rapids Music Scene

Modern convenience meets budget-friendly comfort at Econo Lodge & Suites, located in the Cascade area of Grand Rapids. Just a short drive from top performance venues and only 1.2 miles from Gerald R. Ford International Airport, this hotel is a smart pick for music fans looking to stay close to the action without overspending. With free WiFi, continental breakfast, and a 24-hour front desk, it’s got everything you need for a smooth, music-filled getaway.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers love the easy access to venues like Forest Hills Fine Arts Center (just over a mile away) and quick routes to downtown Grand Rapids. The hotel’s calm, suburban setting makes it a quiet retreat after a night of loud amps and cheering crowds. Late arrivals are no problem with 24-hour front desk service, and the paid airport shuttle is a bonus for out-of-towners flying in for a big show.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable base to crash after a concert
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list performance
  • Couples planning a weekend music escape
  • Fans seeking a quiet place to recharge post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to sacrifice convenience

Food and Drink Options

Start your day right (even after a late night) with a free continental breakfast. While the hotel doesn’t have its own restaurant, you’re just a short drive or delivery away from plenty of local dining spots. The lobby lounge offers a chill space to hang out, and with 24-hour staffing, late-night snacks or info on nearby eateries is always within reach.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn’t host live music or have a bar, it’s easy to reach downtown Grand Rapids, where you’ll find plenty of bars, lounges, and live music venues. Prefer a low-key evening? The shared lounge area is a good spot to unwind without leaving the property.

What People Say

Guests consistently point out the hotel’s affordable rates, clean rooms, and friendly service. Many appreciate the quiet location that’s still close to attractions and the airport. The free WiFi and ample parking are also listed as highlights, especially for those in town for quick concert trips.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel is a bit dated in style, and a few mention that the continental breakfast is basic—think grab-and-go rather than gourmet. But for the price, the value holds up.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for an affordable, quiet, and convenient place to recharge between sets, Econo Lodge & Suites is a solid choice for concert-goers in the Grand Rapids area.

Decent for the price.

Liked: Love the location of this property, it is near lots of restaurants and stores so that is convenient. Bed was comfortable and all amenities worked. Staff was friendly.
Disliked: This place is obviously aged, it could use some TLC and a good deep cleaning. The bathroom light/fan combo was almost painfully loud, definitely in need of repair. There was also a weird odor to the room, idk if it was the age of the property or something else. I also noticed mold in the window cracks/crevices that should be cleaned.

Nothing to worry, nothing to...

Liked: Free parking, good location.
Disliked: We paid way too much for this experience. The rooms was nice and all, but just not in the price category that we paid. The breakfast was mostly forgettable, but present. Most about this hotel can be summed up with "present". Yes, there was everything we needed, but nothing impressed or delighted me. It will do.
