Grand Rapids Restaurant and Hotel Reviews

Grand Rapids, Michigan is located in Western Michigan and is the second largest city in the state. The larger Grand Rapids area has a population of over 600,000 but within the city limits, it is still relatively quaint by most standards, having a population of less than 200,000.

In addition to two luxury hotels, the Grand Rapids downtown, Cherry Street and surrounding areas are where one will find entertaining things to do; especially great and innovative restaurants, cafes and bars.
