Grand Rapids Inn

There was a nice big TV that worked fine. Other than that, the fact that we didn't die is the most positive thing I can say.

Have you ever walked into a place and had the immediate feeling that bad things have happened there? I chose this hotel because I needed a place available on short notice, we were camping in a tent and a storm was going to be coming through so we decided to find an inexpensive place on the way home. I was excited to find a room with a jacuzzi tub for just over a hundred dollars. The pictures gave me the impression that it wasn't the most updated hotel but seemed nice enough. Wrong. Before we even got to our room it was clear that this is NOT a hotel for people traveling, it's a place for locals to find drugs, prostitutes, etc. I am not picky about hotel rooms, but this place was so grimy and had such a creepy vibe that I strongly considered just driving the extra few hours home. The bathroom had brownish red marks in the shower, on the walls, and on the floor. It looked like someone had made a half assed effort to clean up a crime scene. The toilet seat was crooked and wouldn't stay on. There were cigarette burns on the furniture. My boyfriend found little chunks of glass and chore boy on the floor, the jacuzzi tub we had looked forward to using had burn marks in it, ashes, and cracks, the shelves around it didn't appear to have been wiped down in a long long time. I thought about wiping it down and using it anyways but just couldn't do it. I did check under the mattress for signs of bed bugs but otherwise didn't want to know what was under the bedspread. Luckily we had blankets from camping to put over top of the bed. We heard noise throughout the night, luckily no sounds of distress just people partying. Overall it seems like there is someone trying to update and clean up the place but has a whole lot of factors working against them.

No breakfast. Location fair.

Floors not vacuumed or mopped. Not a clean room. Refrigerator dirty and not running.

Roaches crawling on walls, the other type walking around outside, random trash in parking lot, staff (owner or manager Nick) has a bad attitude about everything after checking in but nice when initially checking in. Floors are dirty and stained up, ice machine broke, has two rooms on back side that aren't rentable due to having a grow room in one and a car service out of the other one. Trashy renter next door smoking while sitting in a chair right against OUR door at night while child is trying to sleep, bunch of nosey crack heads actually living there full time. 2x4 wood as bed frame, literally would recommend anywhere else.
