Hotel
My goal is a room within walking distance. Again we are staying at
Holiday Inn Grand Rapids Downtown
310 Pearl Street NW
Grand Rapids , Michigan 49504
Hotel Front Desk:Â 1-616-235-7611
We have 2 rooms. We can fit 8 people. There is an additional easy chair in each room for 2 people to also sleep uncomfortably to make 10. With all the taxes, it is about 240 per room. At 6 people, it will be about 80 per person. If we get 8, it will be 60 per person.
Update: It wound up being ~480 for both rooms. Seven people = ~70.
Vehicles
I will be driving a 7 passenger crossover type minivan. I expect it will seat 6 in reasonable comfort. Or if we have a 4/4 split, I might take my little hatchback. I believe Chuy will also be bringing a similar GMC Arcadia.
The map could not be loaded. Please contact the site owner.
Proposed itinerary. Suggestions welcome. The ? means optional. I’m skipping a few that I’ve mapped, too.
Saturday – I’ll start picking people up at about 8am. Kalamazoo is about 2.5 hours and a time zone away so we will get there about lunchtime. We can stop for breakfast along the way too.
