I had expected a better experience with the hotel being a Baymont. Check in was easy online but, then once getting a room key, I was charged an additional $50 for a deposit. The room was average. The carpet next to the bed was badly stained and warn. I'm not sure why but, the smoke detector was missing and what appeared to be laundry dryer sheets where shoved in the hole where the smoke detector once was. The TV remote didn't work. The bathroom was ok with exception of the tub would not drain. It appeared that the water in the tub after a shower was slowly leaking under the laminate flooring and seeping up when stepping on the floor. The pool and hot tub where not in service. And finally the breakfast options were limited to 3 types of cereal or a bagel. That was all that was available. The staff was friendly. Oh! And the parking lot was full of glass. Likely from car break-ins.

Hole in the wall, literally

Our room had no lock on the sliding glass door which left holes in the door where cigarette and weed smoke came through along with cold air. Amongst other things, this was the worst part.

I cannot say it enough. DO NOT STAY HERE!!! I continue to tell anyone who will listen. I booked my stay through expedia. The outside was sketch but since i already paid i figured i needed to go in and give it a try. I was worried for my rental car getting broken into since there was shattered glass all over the parking lot. There was also trash and beer cans thrown on the ground outside. I hoped inside would be better. It was not. The hallway was dark. The entire place seemed unsafe. Once I was inside the room I did not want to come out but i also did not want to put my stuff anywhere or sit down. I would not sit on the furniture. I do not know what made them think this room was ok to give to a guest or even remotely clean at all. I found a smashed bed bug. There were stains on everything and stuff splattered on the chair and wall... absolutely disgusting. The door was broken and the alarm appeared to be ripped out. I was freaking out! I contacted expedia and asked them what to. I just could not do it. The hotel desk people told me they were going to charge me for that day even though I was not staying but they were going to refund me for the rest of the week. Expedia tried contacting them for the refund to which they would not even respond to them and never issued the refund. This is absolutely disgusting and an unsafe place. Expedia has also been ZERO help with getting a refund through them either.

I am writing to express my profound dissatisfaction with my recent stay at the Baymont by Wyndham Grand Rapids Near Downtown, located at 255 28th St SW, Grand Rapids, Michigan. My confirmation number for this reservation is 88394EE026661. Upon arrival, I was disheartened to find that the condition of the property was far below the standards advertised online. Specifically: Sofa Bed Condition: The sofa bed in our room was dirty and lacked necessary bedding, making it unusable.​ Insufficient Linens: For a party of five guests, the room was equipped with only two towels and no washcloths, leading to significant inconvenience.​ Bathroom Cleanliness: The bathroom was extremely dirty, raising concerns about the overall hygiene and maintenance of the facility.​ These issues not only caused discomfort but also made our stay highly unpleasant. I chose this property based on the positive portrayal online, but the reality did not align with those representations.​ I kindly request a thorough review of these concerns and appropriate measures to address them. Additionally, I believe a refund or compensation is warranted due to the substandard conditions experienced.​ I look forward to your prompt response and resolution to this matter.

Upon arriving there is broken glass all over the parking lot. In clear signage. It was 3 pm check in time and no one was at the desk. Assign Read have a seat in the lobby and will be back shortly. Bathrooms are locked. We waited 30 minutes before someone actually came never apologized for the wait even filled out the early check in and told them what time we’d be arriving. Even completing early check-in you have to redo the process standing at the desk. The halls and elevators smell like marijuana and cigarette smoke. When telling the front desk about someone smoking marijuana in a room on our hall there was no urgency to address it. Seems that long term stay is priority. The entire hotel needs upgrading or simple repairs. The breakfast, if it can even be called that is awful the food is old and dried out, limited options and quantities. There is no extended time for breakfast on the weekends. The pool area is atrocious old in a very odd room that smells terrible. The pool is murky and taken over by rude kids unattended by adults. You have to have a special key card for the pool and exercise room. They do not offer it to you at the desk even though they should when you check in and it expires long before your stay is up and they don’t tell you that either. There is a a sign on pool room door you have to get towels from desk and the desk said towels were in pool areas and they were not. It was like pulling teeth to get towels. People loitering after dark.

Would Never Recommend

Booked here for a short stay at the beginning of my daughters treatment for brain cancer. Parking lot had broken glass and trash everywhere. Checked in and went to find our room, very rundown appearance, hallways had garbage sitting in them. Surfaces in the room were filthy, the room smelled of old wet laundry and the bathroom was dirty. The bottom of the tub had cracks and large black spots in it while the walls of the shower were caked with dirt. Went to the top floor to see the pool/arcade area but couldnt stay up there for more than a few minutes. The chlorine smell was so strong it burned the nose and throat. Ended up going back downstairs and checking out immediately. Booked at another hotel for the stay.

Where to start. The staff was rude. Our first room was filthy, stains on the carpet, shower head was held up by zip ties and the carpet was coming up off the floor. Changed rooms, there was a whole in the wall bigger than my fist, no water pressure in the shower and breakfast consiste of stale donuts. Absolutely awful.
