The Lafayette House 135 Lafayette Avenue Northeast, Grand Rapids, MI 49503

"The house was beautiful and the owners keep it looking very nice and clean. Skyelar was such an amazing hostess and made us feel very welcome. The location was perfect in downtown Grand Rapids. I highly recommend this B & B to anyone staying in the area."

"The owners/hosts are so lovely and welcoming. Check in is easy. The home is historic and beautiful. We loved our spacious room, and the beautiful bathtub in it. A/C worked well and we enjoyed having the TV as an option. All the extra details--from cold bottled water, to soy yogurt at breakfast or a coffee keurig in the room--made this an excellent stay. And the breakfast was delicious!!!"

"I used to live in the Heritage Hill neighborhood for a couple of years and I really wanted to show my girlfriend what it was like to live there and how nice the area was. This was my first stay at a Bed & Breakfast and it greatly exceeded my expectations. Firstly, the location is great; close to the highway, in a nice neighborhood, and within walking distance of downtown, the Wealthy St District, and the Bridge St District if you don't mind strolling through neighborhoods for 20 minutes or so. The living space, dining room, and sunroom are decorated in a very modern yet homely manner. The breakfast was amazing--Skyelar made delicious perfectly cooked over-medium eggs inside bell pepper slices with some of the most delicious bacon I've ever had and sesame seed toast for our first breakfast and she made the crispiest yet fluffiest waffle with sausage links for breakfast number two. I was planning on enjoying some of my favorite local spots for breakfast but hers was just too delicious to pass up. We stayed in Room 2 which was very nice. It had a window air-conditioning unit with thermostat which is very common of Heritage/Cherry Hill Homes, the bed was king size and very comfortable, and the bathroom was stunning. The room was very large and had more than enough room for all of our belongings. The only caveat for this stay was that parking was tight and limited. There is only enough room for 1 car per room and it is diagonally next to their house in a pretty tight area so you better be confident at backing your care out onto Lafayette St. However, there is free street parking outside the house albeit with limited hours and availability. All in all I would highly recommend this B&B for anybody looking for a stay in Grand Rapids. Skyelar was a great host and when I visit Grand Rapids in the future this will be one of the first accommodations I check availability for. Cheers!"

"Lovely accommodations and hosts. Friendly, welcoming, safe, comfortable and simply delightful. I’m moving to Grand Rapids (I was there for an interview and they were so encouraging that I nailed the interview!) and will recommend/use Lafayette House for all my guests. Great shower and lovely rooms. Delicious breakfast and terrific neighborhood."

"Great B&B! Host and hostess were both very friendly and courteous. Was in a multi room group so got to see all the rooms and they were all great in their own special and unique way. The breakfasts were very yummy with plenty of non crowded seating. Great historic house, well decorated. Definitely recommend to others and will stay there next time we travel to the area. Thank you for a great stay Todd and Skyler!!"
