Hampton Inn Grand Rapids-North

As a Hilton guy, a Hampton Inn is a Hampton Inn. You get what you pay for and they’re all pretty much the same. They don’t let you down but at the same time they are nothing to get excited about. Clean room, clean bed and that’s about all you need.
This location is set back behind strip malls and a busy strip of road that is loaded with restaurants and stores and other strip malls. It’s not hard to find but you can’t see it from the road. It’s setback in a quiet area away from all the noise and traffic of the busy road. There is a highway not too far away, but you can’t hear it.
Here’s the thing. The reason I am a Hilton guy is for hotels like the Hampton Inn. With the Hilton family of hotels, you can always find one of their hotels just about anywhere in the country not too far from wherever you plan on going or wherever you need to be.
Being that I typically like to stay as close to my first morning meeting, I can always find a Hilton hotel near where I need to be.
Would I go back? Yes. I’ve been back to this location a few times and I’ve always been pleased with it. Nice small fitness facility and pool as well.

Clean hotel and a friendly staff. Cookies upon check in. «Go Green» option like SPG properties offer, which is a great deal for extra points. Good breakfast, pool and workout room. Room 201, noise level was below average. Corner room with large whirlpool tub, separate full bath, x-​large room. Convenient location for shopping and restaurants. AMC movie theater, Target, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Burlington Coat, Panera, BW3’s, Starbucks, TGI Fridays

Hampton Inn-​North exceeded our expectations for the price charged. A wedding brought us to Grand Rapids and we booked a two room suite months in advance. Management arranged an early check-​in when the wedding time was moved up. Upon checking in the staff handed us printed instructions to the wedding location. The suite was excellent with wi-​fi, and breakfast was more than we anticipated and delicious. Downtown was seven minutes away.

First of all, I have never been to a hotel with worse service. Everyone was extremely rude. The breakfast in the morning was nasty… nothing was still warm or tasted good. The eggs especially didn’t seem cooked all the way. There was hardly any choices. The ceiling above the pool looked like it was dirty and getting moldy. There was a half of a used bar of soap still in our shower… Super outdated hotel. Not to mention not an overall good area. Will not be staying here again.

Stayed two nights using Hilton Honors points. Like most Hamptons, it is an adequate hotel, geared to the business traveler. We were upgraded to a nice suite, which was superb except for the bathroom, which, though clean, was small, dark, and dated. It was really out of sync with the rest of the recently updated suite. The fitness center had a full set of dumbbells, which is practically unheard of, so it was great to get in a full workout without the hassle of finding a local gym and paying for a day pass.

Perfect place for a stop over, but pretty far from downtown Grand Rapids. Fair deal when you compacte price to quality.
Rooms are clean, spacious and enough outlets. Good shower. And most important for us, although the window was small, it could open! =)
Breakfast was more than we expected. Yes, the egg was horrible, but it always is nowadays in hotels. Nothing to do with fresh eggs. But besides that enough fresh choices. Oatmeal, waffles, yoghurt, fresh (!) fruit and various kinds of sweets and bread.

Much better than expected from the dated outside appearance. We were greeted warmly, were able to reserve a specific room online ahead of time (third floor, odd number — quiet and faces the woods/​retention pond rather than the mall area.) The breakfast was well stocked and kept clean and orderly. I wish they’d have some plain yogurt rather than just the overly-​sweetened kind though. The room was clean and the desk arrangement in the built-​in wall unit worked well. There was an odd mini-​fridge all alone by the desk (not built in) but that’s better than none.
The fitness center is too tight for stretching but was useful nonetheless.
Fortunately we stayed using points because otherwise it seems a bit overpriced.

We stayed here one night (7÷3−4÷15). It was busy, but it wasn’t loud by any means. I got a really good rate — the cheapest I’ve paid in a long time for a Hilton hotel — from booking through Hilton’s website.
The room were nice and clean. The bed was comfortable too! The bathroom was nice and large which I really liked. I used the fitness center and it was a good fitness center for a hotel like the Hampton.
Overall, I’d stay here again especially if the rate was that cheap again!

This Hampton is definitely in line with what one would expect for the category and price. A great find… Very clean, updated and friendly staff. Spacious rooms and very comfortable. The gym is pretty limited but functional.

Had a lovely night at this local Hampton inn. Took my nieces for a sleepover and swiming and everyone was so nice. I am so glad to see that it was a family friendly hotel. The complimentary breakfast in the morning was also so much better than I have had at other places

No complaints. Clean room. Plenty of towels upon arrival. A nice complimentary breakfast and no extra cost for parking either. The king deluxe room is nice and spacious and we like the jacuzzi tub in the room.

All remarks are for a hotel in the range, I’m not comparing it to the Ritz. Today is day 3 of a 5 day stay.
The hotel is CLEAN though the decorating choices could be better (red walls in the bedroom). The hotel smells clean, not covered in chemicals. The staff has been friendly and helpful, offering an umbrella for the rain and providing information on local attractions.
The beds are comfortable though the pillows are over-​stuffed (like all hotels). The bathroom is larger than expected, but has no dedicated vent fan (there seems to be a low hum ²⁴⁄₇). Towel supply is adequate. Noise level has been low, though I believe the hotel was booked solid last night.
I have not used the pool or exercise facility.

This is one of my favorite hotels in the area.
Located off Alpine road in Walker, it is located on the Northern side of Grand
Rapids at the crossing of I94 and 131. This makes it an easy on/​off of both major highways.
Since I travel a lot, it makes it easy as it is approximately 1 hour exactly from Muskegon, Kalamazoo, and East Lansing!
The staff is here is excellent and very friendly. These people go out of their way to ensure your stay is a great one. The rooms are large, spacious, and have a unique décor to them.
I have stayed in this one over 50 different nights, and will continue to do so again and again.
The rates are great, and I feel exceptional for the service, rooms, and breakfast that is included.

As I write this review, I’m in the middle of my 30^th stay and my 60^th night at a Hilton HHonors hotel in 2013 — most of which were at Hampton Inns around the country. I say that simply to put my review in context.
This could be the oldest, most tired Hampton Inn I’ve ever stayed at. I wish I’d done more research before booking here, but it was the most convenient location for the business I had in Grand Rapids. Unfortunately, I paid the price for it. This place is DESPERATELY in need of an update. The carpet is REALLY old and shows it badly. The furniture is outdated. The bathrooms are TINY.
I love Hamptons — I stay at them for business and my family loves them on road trips — but this is NOT one to stay at if you’re in the area.
