AC Hotel by Marriott Grand Rapids Downtown

I was in town for a concert and the hotel location was very convenient to the venue. It was a 2 minute walk. I didn't mind paying a little more for the room because I figured it would balance itself out by the time I paid for event parking. Which is usually anywhere from $40 to $80 depending on the town. On my way to the hotel I see parking lots for $20. I travel a lot and every hotel I have stayed at has parking included. We arrived at the hotel around 6pm, checked in, and I asked the concierge what parking lot or garage we are to use. She informs me that parking is not included. I thought to myself if I would have known that, I would have stayed somewhere else for at least half the cost. The staff were pleasant, helpful, and accommodating. The hotel was very nice and clean. My friend and I continued our evening, went to the concert, and hit The Bob afterwards. The next morning I went downstairs for coffee and maybe something to eat. As I entered the continental breakfast area, a staff member told me that breakfast is $20. For that price and what was on the buffet tables, I didn't feel as though it was worth it. So I decided just to get a coffee, which was $3. We checked out around 11am. We leave the parking lot and our total for 17 hours was $55. The hotel was very nice, but being charged for every single thing that is usually free at other hotels, wasn't worth it to me.

Great location near Van Andel arena, just a few minutes walk away and to really good restaurants. Nice bar in the lobby area; Ashley was a great bartender and took care of my friends and their special requests. Clean rooms and very polite staff.

Great location!
