Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Muskegon, MI
The rooms are all redone. It was clean and no bugs!! Loved that if I needed a shower chair there was one available already in the bathroom. Breakfast was great and the staff was amazingly kind. Definitely will be returning when its time to stay in the area again.

Baymont by Wyndham Grand Haven
Couldn't use the tub and the bathroom was just kinda gross. Not sure if this is the case with dog-friendly rooms, but pretty poor condition and felt pretty cheap (not in a good way).
