Once we arrived it was easy to call the listed number and get let in, which happened quickly despite our being after the agreed upon arrival time. Skylar then showed us around and left us to enjoy the room. She had their two children with them which was fun and gave the space more of the local family feel. We didn't hear them during the rest of our stay so no worries about late night cries etc. The house is beautiful and our room had a private bath with a huge jacuzzi tub. There was a window ac unit as well as a fan so we stayed comfy at night and even outside fireworks weren't too noticeable. We were a handy 10 minute walk to a multitude of restaurants and cute parks plus the river walk. There was also a parking spot at the house so we could leave the car and not worry as we walked in the city. The breakfast was especially tasty and Skylar made extra effort to accommodate our dietary needs by making something totally different for me (veggie hash with toast and yogurt all vegan). The fruit, juice and coffee for all were tastefully laid out and made for a refreshing breakfast experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and would stay here again!

Just returned from a wonderful stay at The Lafayette House in Grand Rapids. My daughter and I were…read morein town to attend a concert at the Van Andel Arena. Did I mention it is WALKING DISTANCE to the Van Andel??!! Note the walk back is gradually uphill. A couple that we spoke with during breakfast mentioned they also walked back. The husband said he has a bad knee and felt it a little bit on the return but would definitely do it again. Todd and Skyelar's home is beautiful and bright. We stayed in Room 2 which is also bright yet cozy at the same time. Our room had a Keurig coffee maker which was great! I will just have to remember to bring some tea with us next time as we love our tea. I didn't think to ask for any so I can't fault anyone but myself! The bath products are provided and smell amazing! I actually wrote the name of the brand down as I am going to order some for home. We really appreciated having an extra power strip in the room. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious with local products. Cinnamon raisin bread French toast, bacon that was perfectly prepared, fresh fruit, orange juice and hot coffee. I look forward to returning to The Lafayette House!

Lovely inn in a cute town on the river. Stayed overnight on my way to northern Michigan. Was…read moregreeted warmly by Kim (I think that was her name), who made me feel extremely welcome, much appreciated after a really long drive. The inn is the perfect combination of historic charm and modern amenities. Room - and bed - were extremely comfortable. Loved the big shower. There's a great deck off the back with a view of the river and all the cool birds that make it home. Lowell is a sweet small town - some nice historic architecture, the flour mill across the street and had a great meal next door at Easy Street.

Lovely hotel literally on the river. In spite of being the only real hotel in town, the prices are…read morereasonable, so it's actually a viable choice if you're in Grand Rapids for a spell. The view from any room is pleasing, the rooms are well furnished with big comfortable beds, spacious bathrooms and there's a fridge and small dining tables in a common area for guests. Free WiFi is reasonably fast. The water pressure isn't good when lots of people are using their showers, not a problem when the place isn't near capacity. Staffed by only one person at a time, but both workers we met were helpful, polite, friendly and pleasant. There are only four or five rooms, so they sell out often, make your plans ahead of time.

The room was clean and spacious and the hotel was well kept. They also have a nice pool and hot tub. We fit 6 girls in the suite and it was enough space and comfortable.

I didn't realize the shampoo and conditioner were in the medicine cabinet until after I showered, but it is all good. Couldn't figure out the room fan, but it cooled down once I turned the lights off. There's wifi but no TV, my version of heaven. Breakfast casserole and tulle with peaches, of course, fabulous, too. Thanks!

Amazing hospitality from Deb and Steve the proprietors. Historic home with 3 floors and a storied…read morepast. Most bathrooms have tiled ceilings! Even ones without showers, which is unheard of, which adds to the home's character. We got the 3rd floor room #5 which had a living room, kitchen, and bathroom on the floor - since room #6 was being renovated we got to have the whole floor to ourselves. Deb makes fresh chocolate chip cookies which are amazing The neighborhood itself is great - Heritage Hill - a neighborhood of 1000 homes all older than our great grandparents :) Within a 10 minute walk to the east you'll find half a dozen or so restaurants and bars and one of the jewels of the neighborhood - Art of the Table - which has spirits and tons of unique foods and knick knacks. Downtown is only a 20 minute walk if that's what you fancy. Rates were half of rooms downtown but with double the charm and service Look forward to coming back again!

Had a party of 8 do a stay and play and they all loved the food. We are considering coming again next year. Take out the hotel condition and it's a 5 star place. Now the bad. The cleanliness of the rooms was lacking. Appeared they may be doing updates but not 100% sure. Drywall dust and odd wood screws behind the bed/night stand. No smoke alarm in the room, a dirty rag was left on the shower curtain rod. The shower curtain itself was pretty moldy. If they would update the hotel part this location would be awesome.
