JW Marriott showcases model rooms
Members of the Kent County Lodging Association toured the luxurious living accommodations showcased in the two model bedrooms opened by downtown’s JW Marriott. Tourism officials are banking on the lure of the luxury accommodations and spring break packages to bring families to Grand Rapids during the city’s slow tourism time.
According to excerpts from the story:
Cristina Elsenbroek caressed the covers of the smartly appointed queen-size bed loaded with down comforters and quilted pillows in the model room display for the JW Marriott Hotel.
Then, she bounced on it.
“I love this bed, and I feel like I could wrap myself up in it,” Elsenbroek said. “This is better than the comfort of home.”
Elsenbroek, a representative of Craig’s Cruisers Fun Park, was one of several members of Kent County Lodging Association to tour two model bedrooms Thursday.
