Residence Inn by Marriott Grand Rapids West

Spacious Comfort Near Grand Rapids Concert Venues

Modern, laid-back, and conveniently located just outside downtown Grand Rapids, the Residence Inn by Marriott Grand Rapids West is a top pick for music lovers looking to stay close to the action without the chaos. With roomy suites, full kitchens, and free parking, it’s a smart base for nights out and relaxed mornings after.

Just 11 miles from Van Andel Arena and other popular venues, this all-suite hotel in Grandville offers the space and quiet you’ll appreciate after the encore ends.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert attendees love the hotel’s peaceful suburban setting—far enough from downtown to avoid late-night noise, but close enough for a quick drive to venues. Free parking is a huge perk, especially for those driving in from shows. With 24-hour front desk service and a generous 12:00 PM checkout, you’ve got flexibility if your night runs late. Plus, the in-room kitchens make it easy to wind down your way.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want to pre-game and chill post-show in roomy suites
• Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime performance
• Couples making a music-filled weekend getaway
• Fans who want a quiet, comfortable space to recover after a big night
• Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value with space and amenities

Food and Drink Options

Start your day right with a hearty American-style buffet breakfast—ideal after a late night. While there’s no full-service restaurant on-site, the hotel’s in-room kitchens and grill area make DIY meals easy. You’ll also find several restaurants and late-night food options within walking or short driving distance, especially around nearby Rivertown Crossings Mall.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself keeps things quiet, you’re a short ride from the downtown Grand Rapids nightlife scene. Enjoy bars, lounges, and music venues just 15–20 minutes away. Afterward, retreat to your suite for a well-earned rest. No on-site bar, but in-room drinks and kitchen setups offer a chill alternative.

What People Say

Guests rave about the spacious rooms, excellent staff service, and the clean, quiet atmosphere. Many reviewers highlight the convenience of the kitchenettes, and how easy it is to relax after a long night out. Others love the location—close to venues but far enough for peace.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel isn’t right in downtown Grand Rapids, so you’ll need to drive or rideshare to most venues. Also, there’s no on-site bar or restaurant, which some guests missed. But if you like having your own space and don’t mind a short ride to the show, it’s a trade-off worth making.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for spacious, quiet comfort close to Grand Rapids’ music scene, Residence Inn by Marriott Grand Rapids West hits all the right notes.
