It was really lovely. One of the nicest places I've stayed. Great location in town and on the river, beautiful room, historic building, quaint downtown shops, complimentary cider donuts and chocolates, great coffee. We had a tiny little kerfuffle at check in ( no front desk, just keyless entry) and the owner graciously gave me the suite instead of the regular room. Treat yourself, you deserve it.

This place is a great combination of historic and modern: the walls and floors are old, and everything else is new and high-quality (including a fancy shower, effective HVAC, and digital locks). We’ll definitely stay here again if we’re in the area!

What a beautiful room for a beautiful stay! It was spacious and was very comfortable. The bed was perfect and the shower with 2 shower heads was fantastic. Loved the style of the room as well. The little bakery treats were a nice added touch and truly enjoyed. Close to shopping, dining and parks. You won’t be disappointed! Definitely will be coming back.

A weekend getaway outside of Grand Rapids

Though a small town means small hotel (there were less than 10 rooms on our floor) this one has quite the big personality. From high ceilings and chandeliers, to exposed brick walls, this place was the perfect mash of 1800s historical with modern day amenities. Checkin is all electronic as the hotel was started under covid. The beds were comfortable, and the shower was huge! The location was also perfect to being able to experience all that the little town of Newaygo had to offer, as well as not being too far from Grand Rapids. On top of all this, there was a small pastry station where there was always something freshly made to snack on. The one annoyance I had was that, being an older building, you could sometimes hear your neighbors rolling their bags down the hardwood-floored hallway. But its an old building, so that was just part of the charm. We had such a lovely time and would gladly stay here again in the future.
