I stayed here for a wedding in Portland; this was the nearest and most convenient place to stay. I wish it was larger because it filled up with other wedding guests very quickly. The breakfast wasn’t anything remarkable but the pool and hot tub were great.

My family and I got caught in a snowstorm coming back from the Grand Rapids area and decided to check TripAdvisor before looking for a hotel. The closest ones had sketchy reviews at best; just a little further was this option in Portland. We are glad we went a little further: our stay was very pleasant, the room was nice,... More

We selected the American Heritage Inn, Portland MI as it was just off I-96 on our way from Detroit to Grand Rapids MI. We flew into Detroit and planned a stop in Portland to visit family on our way across the state. Logistically this hotel was in a perfect location to rest after a long day of travel and visiting...

We enjoyed our stay with this most hospitable group of hardworking women. We were greeted very promptly and friendly. They held our request to have our friends located near us on the same floor. They were kind to extend the breakfast time when we woke up late. We will definitely come again. Thank you for making our weekend get together... More

I had the pleasure of staying in this hotel last weekend. Lobby was nice and open, and Jessica or Jennifer who made my reservations over the phone was extremely pleasant and helpful. Paige checked me in and she was equally as kind and considerate. I walked into a fresh smelling room. The rooms have all been redone and, for once,... More

I have stayed in this hotel many times over the past few years. I must say that I am impressed with the renovations and the overall friendliness of the staff. They have even shoveled my car out of a snowbank and cleaned it off for me. My family and I were there the night of the so-called "rude staff" experience... More

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of our hotel. We appreciate all kinds of feedback that we receive from our previous guests.
