“This location stands apart, a bit isolated yet near both dining options and attractions like the Frederik Meijer Gardens; I think its strongest selling point is the indoor pool, unexpected for a budget-focused stay. While some aspects show wear, its affordability and practical amenities, such as pet-friendly areas and 24-hour reception, still make it viable for budget-conscious travelers. Overall, a straightforward option where value outweighs luxury.”
