It's an airport hotel, not much to say other than the staff is really doing the best they can with what they got.

The restaurant is nice sized. Had an upscale feel to it. I walked in right before closing, a quarter til 1 p.m. The lady there told me I could order to go. She was still sweet for taking my order. I didn't want to bother, but she insisted. I ordered a French onion soup and a fruit cup. The soup was hot and good. The assorted fruit was in a to go bowl filled to the top! ?

Exceptional service, beyond incredible food, nice surroundings with great 80s tunes! Seriously, the best meal my husband and I have had out in a very long time. If we lived in beautiful GR, we'd eat there every day. It is a must, you gotta check it out! Edamame to start, a fabulous Rose', he had the award winning Reuben, and I had the power bowl with chicken...to die for!!! If we would've had room in our bellies, we would've split the grilled bread pudding. That'll be the next visit, we truly look forward to someday going back to Gander's. Thank you to the staff for making a great memory for us!

This is an underrated place to eat. I stayed at the Doubletree and had the omelette in the morning and the hamburger for supper. Both were great. In fact it's one of the best hamburgers in Grand Rapids. The 80s music is like stepping into a time warp.

It's mostly just a place for the Hotel, but non-guests are welcome, I have been twice for breakfast, things are a bit slow, mostly due to very little staff, but they are trying for sure. I have ordered off menu breakfast, and had the buffet breakfast, definitely order off menu, the quality is 10X better. They have really good Bloody Marys, coffee is what you'd expect at a hotel. Although i will add if getting the buffet breakfast, the fruit is really fresh, it's the eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes that leave a bit more to be desired.

Food is great, but the server/bartender, Diego makes the whole place better. He is kind, attentive, and makes great drink suggestions. He remembers the regulars that are staying for business and makes you feel like you are at home at “Diego’s Place.” Ganders would not be the same without him.
