Located a short distance from both Grand Rapids and Lansing, Holland is a popular vacation spot in Western Michigan. It is the host of the annual Tulip Time Festival held in May, and home to Dutch Village (a small theme park celebrating Dutch history and culture). Visitors to Holland can also enjoy shopping at various outlet stores, or relaxing on one of Holland's many sandy beaches.
The Location of the Residence Inn, Holland, Michigan
Guests to the area typically lodge off of US Route 31 around Dutch Village, Holland Town Center and the Westshore Mall. Nonetheless, a few hotel chains have built properties closer to the Holland Airport and industrial parks. One such hotel is that of the five year old Residence Inn. Built directly across the street from the new headquarters of Haworth, Inc., the hotel is in a somewhat secluded area. Although secluded, Meijer Shopping Center, Bob Evans and other eateries are just a short drive away.
