For walkability, the downtown hotels on Monroe Avenue and Ottawa Avenue are your best bet. Properties like Residence Inn (#5), Homewood Suites (#16), and Courtyard (#14) score 9.4-9.6 for location and put you steps from Grand Rapids Art Museum, Van Andel Arena, and dozens of restaurants.

Summer (June-August) is prime for Reeds Lake swimming, kayaking, and Gaslight Village patios. The Drury Inn’s outdoor pool (#6) and Country Inn’s indoor pool (#1) both work well for families. Fall brings stunning foliage around the lake and less crowded hotels. Winter visitors will appreciate the indoor pools at Embassy Suites (#8) and Courtyard (#14) — both with hot tubs.
