Dark but good size room
Pros:

Good location convenient to all of downtown.

This is a circular building so the rooms are oddly shaped.

Generous room size.

My room was in desperate need of a floor lamp and stronger light bulbs. It would be very difficult to conduct a video call in the room.

Horrible customer service, and a lack of respect for the guestHorrible customer service, and a lack of respect.
Pros:

One of the most unprofessional and unpleasant experience ever and safety was a huge concern and an assault took place. There are multiple Marriott hotels in downtown Grand Rapids and I would highly recommend others.

Great Hotel. Need to be more transparent
Pros:

Premium hotel, premium location, premium facilities

Cons:

Routine maid service is not provided unless explicitly requested. Unfortunately, customers willing to pay for such a premium hotel are surprised when the room is not refreshed by late in the day. Unempowered staff are then unable to effortlessly provide maid service. Customers should be notified at check-in about the need to explicitly request maid service rather than be surprised at the end of the day.

We will return as we loved the room. And, very nice breakfast as well.
Pros:

Gorgeous hotel with sweeping views of the lovely riverfront; most comfortable bed and beautiful bathroom; luxe linens. VAlet service was really special - - and would recommend it as it costs only $4 more than self-park. The valets were great.

Cons:

Greeting at front desk was abrupt and dismissive, with no explanation of elevator operation or getting music into the room. We tried to connect our digital music ( it is Christmastime!) to the TV using the instructions, and were unable to do so. Otherwise, NO complaints. Lovely hotel !!

Modern Hotel in Grand Rapids
Pros:

We loved this hotel with a convenient location in Grand Rapids. The staff was very helpful at the desk. The rooms were clean and modern. For JW Marriott product line, this hotel was an excellent value. The hotel was quiet even though located downtown. The restaurant and bar were really nice to hang out. I loved the brunches. A nice little gem in a nice town. Thank you.
