Embassy Suites by Hilton Grand Rapids Downtown,MI
This is a great hotel with a wonderfully river view if you book that side. The evening reception was a nice touch and breakfast was great including a made to order omelette bar. Parking is a bit expensive but it could be worse.

Amway Grand Plaza, Curio Collection by Hilton
The view was incredible, but the experience was more “standard hotel room” than I expected based on other times I have stayed in the Curio Collection hotels. And it took the shower almost five solid minutes to get kind of warm.
