Hotel Affordable Suites of America Grand Rapids (Grand Rapids, USA)

Staying here is more like staying in an apartment or renting a townhouse. The units all have full kitchens and a living area. Some units have real log-burning fireplaces and some have walk out balconies. If this stay is for travel, it's more like a spacious vacation home than a cramped hotel stay.

The hotel provides nice little touches that improve the stay. The free breakfast every morning is more like a breakfast buffet than just a carbohydrate fill up and the evening social gathering saves the expense and trouble of looking for restaurants.

This hotel is located just across the street from a large mall for shopping needs. Within walking distance are numerous family-owned and popular restaurant chains and there are several nightlife clubs and bars nearby. Basically, it ticks all the boxes for entertainment and food in a close and central area.

It will be hard to do business in this home away from home. The WiFi is definitely substandard and frequently drops a signal, if you are lucky enough to get a signal at all. Since there is no wired Internet, you'll be at the mercy of the air waves.

This hotel is located in an older building and the infrastructure has a few fits and starts. The thermostats don't work well and the air conditioning is loud. The door locks aren't that secure and the walls and ceilings are very thin. You'll likely hear noise from neighbors above and below.

For those used to the Wyndam label, this hotel might be a bit of a disappointment. This stay is more like a low-end budget choice, than a standard Wyndham chain. Here, extended stay lodgers frequently get better service than those staying just a few nights.
