Exploring Grand Rapids? Discover these practical tips to enhance your stay and uncover local gems.
Fast Fact: Did you know? Nearly 75% of Grand Rapids hotels are within a short distance from the Grand River, like the Hilton Garden Inn Grand Rapids East, which offers scenic views.
Local Hack: When checking in, ask about local craft beer recommendations - many hotels have exclusive partnerships with nearby breweries and will point you to the best spots.
Hidden Gem: Head to the Grand Rapids Public Museum (only 12 minutes from downtown) to see unique exhibits on local history and culture that aren't on most tourist itineraries.
Smart Tip: Booking during art fairs can increase hotel prices by up to 50%. Look for stays in early summer for the best deals before the main events.
