Questions families ask

Will we get two queens, two doubles or a sofa bed?

The two-bed rooms here are confirmed as queens, despite some generic descriptions calling them doubles. Homewood Suites and Hampton's King Study instead pair a king with a double sofa bed, so the children share the pullout. Embassy Suites and Comfort Suites have two queens plus a sofa bed; four can use just the queens.

Which rooms give us space without booking two rooms?

Embassy Suites separates the bedroom from the living room within one suite; it does not provide two bedrooms. Comfort Suites lists 337 square feet but has only a partial divider. Hampton's King Study lists 323 square feet. Homewood adds a full kitchen, though its floor area isn't confirmed. None requires booking connecting rooms.

Can we add a crib or rollaway?

Free cribs are listed at Homewood, Hilton Garden Inn, Fairfield and Hampton; request one ahead. Holiday Inn's crib charges conflict, so confirm directly. Embassy Suites and Tru list cribs but unclear fees. Rollaways aren't available at Embassy Suites or Tru; elsewhere, confirm room-specific permission rather than assuming an extra bed can be added.

Does a room for four cost much more than a room for two?

At Embassy Suites and Holiday Inn, the four-person room shows only a modest increase over the cheapest two-person room on the same night. Other comparisons aren't confirmed. Comfort Suites is the lowest-cost option here, but adds a nightly services fee. Compare breakfast and parking inclusions too, especially when weighing downtown against suburban hotels.

Which neighborhood works best for a family sharing one room?

Downtown works best for walking to restaurants, museums and DeVos Place: Homewood is central, while Embassy Suites sits farther north by the river. North Grand Rapids and Walker suit drivers. Comstock Park works for LMCU Ballpark. Airport & 28th Street suits flights and shopping; those hotels, and Quality Inn in Wyoming, require transportation for downtown sightseeing.
