Delta Hotels by Marriott Muskegon Convention Center
Very convenient to the Frauenthal center. Room was nice. No issues. Parking easy. The "blackout shades" in the room worked really well. I recommend the "Brunch House" for weekend breakfast.

Baymont by Wyndham Muskegon
Room was clean. Pillows were small, but they did give us two extra. Breakfast needed a little more variety and the orange juice was watered down. Staff was excellent.
