How About a Staycation In Grand Rapids? Truth is, cabin fever is a real problem for a lot of us. So if you're one of the many in West Michigan who's itching to go do something that's outside of your four walls, maybe instead of taking a long, costly trip, you make a trip downtown Grand Rapids for a staycation. WOODTV reports that Experience Grand Rapids just launched an initiative to help the struggling hospitality industry downtown as around 80% of people surveyed said they were ready for a trip somewhere. Now through April, if you stay at one of 10 participating hotels downtown Grand Rapids, you can save 25% off your second night's stay.
