The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Grand Rapids-Airport

Comfort and Convenience Just Minutes from the Music

Modern and welcoming, the Holiday Inn Grand Rapids-Airport offers a relaxed stay just a short drive from downtown Grand Rapids and major concert venues. Located in Kentwood, this hotel blends practical amenities with cozy comfort—think large windows, white bedding, in-room refrigerators, and free WiFi. With a quick 7-minute drive to Van Andel Arena and a free airport shuttle to Gerald R. Ford International Airport, it’s a smart pick for music fans flying in or driving through.

Why Concert-goers love it

One of this hotel’s biggest perks is its proximity to key Grand Rapids venues—you’re just a few minutes from the city’s live music action, yet far enough for a peaceful night’s sleep afterward. Late check-out at 12:00 PM gives you time to recover from a high-energy show. Plus, the free shuttle and ample parking (including semi-truck options!) mean easy arrivals and departures, even after a late gig.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want to stretch out in spacious rooms
  • Solo travelers flying in to catch a favorite artist
  • Couples looking for a full weekend getaway
  • Fans seeking a quieter, off-downtown retreat post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want smart amenities without overpaying

Food and Drink Options

The on-site Grille 29 serves up American favorites for breakfast, lunch, and dinner—perfect for grabbing a bite before or after a show. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the in-house dining and nearby restaurants make meals easy. Breakfast is available even after late nights, so no need to rush out early.

Nightlife Options

While the Holiday Inn doesn’t host live music on-site, you’re just a quick ride from Grand Rapids’ buzzing downtown scene. That includes bars, breweries, and lounges near the Van Andel Arena. Prefer to stay in? The hotel bar keeps things chill with a relaxed vibe.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, comfortable rooms and consistently praise the friendly front desk staff. Many reviews highlight the hotel’s ease of access to downtown, the airport, and shopping at nearby Woodland Mall. The shuttle service and parking earn major points from concert-goers traveling with gear or instruments.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the hotel’s decor feels a little dated in places, and those looking for a party vibe may find the atmosphere a bit quiet. Also, while the location is convenient, you’ll likely need a car or ride-share to reach downtown venues.

The Bottom Line

With its great location, free shuttle, and comfy amenities, the Holiday Inn Grand Rapids-Airport is a solid pick for concert-goers who want convenience without the chaos.

The room was very nice and the bed was so amazingly soft, I thought I'd never be able to get up and leave it.

Raymond C, Fruitport, visiting Orbit Room Grand Rapids Mon, 8 February 2016

We will definitely be staying again soon.

Liked: The room was perfect for the two of us - comfy bed, hot shower. Definitely enjoyed the room after our date.
Disliked: The info about the room was a little off, but nothing too drastic - no microwave and it was a little further from the venue, but not too far.

10/10 will stay again when...

Liked: Very friendly staff, clean room and the hallways smelled really good too. The location was awesome since I was here to see a concert downtown and it was only a 15 minute drive.
Disliked: The refrigerator wasn’t working properly, but when I told the staff member he was really reassuring that he’d have it looked at. The shower head was awesome pressure but definitely had some water staining which is expected but still kind of gross.

Staff needs training on customer...

Liked: Convenience to the airport
Disliked: We had a horrific experience with a person working the front desk. She overcharged us $300, then yelled at us and told us “this is how hotels work.” The GM found a resolution but this was extremely unprofessional.
