Leonard At Logan House, Bed & Breakfast

I had the good fortune of staying the night here a couple of years ago when I had clients in the Grand Rapids area that I needed to visit.
Leonard at Logan is an Edwardian masterpiece. It is striking throughout. I enjoyed the night in the Princess Cecille room. Impeccably clean and well maintained. I appreciated the quietness of the house as I had long work days in GR. LALH has fantastic proximity to the great restaurants and bars of the Heritage Hill District. Additionally, it’s a quick Lyft ride to Founders, Hopcat, the art galleries, etc.
Continental breakfast is included in your stay with an exceptional selection of morning basics. Great coffee.
Service here is friendly and professional. On the morning I was scheduled to leave, there was a nice West Michigan winter storm that dropped 5 inches of snow. The Inn Keepers had the driveway plowed and my car cleaned off before I woke up. Pro move. They aren’t pushy or intrusive like other B&B owners can be. They’re available either in-​house or by phone at all times, if you need them.
It’s a classy place that’s perfect for business travel, Art Prize or just a few days away from the kids. Pricing fluctuates by seasons but that’s how the Inn business works. They used to auction off stays where you could luck out and save a few bucks. Half price or full price, the LALH is a premium stay in Grand Rapids.

My girlfriend and I just stayed here and it was a phenomenal experience. We stayed here for Valentine’s Day weekend and it couldn’t have gotten better. The hostess greets you at the door and gives you a tour of the house. The formal gathering space is beautiful with a separate seating area behind that. The dining room has an attached area with snacks that are available 24/​7, free of charge. There is a breakfast buffet on the weekends that is really damn good. I highly, highly suggest the French toast. We stayed in the Grand Duke and it was beautiful. Heated floors in the bathroom with a walk in marble shower. The king size bed was so comfortable. All in all, it was perfect. Any little detail you can think of, they have covered. Want some popcorn for your room? Done. Want some wine glasses for your drink? Done. Want home baked desserts at night waiting for you to eat? Done. The hosts were amazing and I highly suggest this place to people traveling to Grand Rapids.

Great location and a great house. This is in the historic home district and worth a visit. The home is stunning inside and the rooms are comfy. The hosts are super nice and welcoming. They have a full breakfast on the weekend and it is great. They also have a snack area that is open all day which is nice.

My fiancé and I planned a quick weekend getaway for the holidays to GR and decided to try our first b&b. We absolutely loved this place. Located in a peaceful neighborhood close to downtown GR. We were greeted at the door and offered a tour. The house keep was very polite offered us a more spacious room since they were slow. The heated floors in the bathroom was nice. The breakfast was great. The home was simply beautiful. I can’t say a single negative thing about this place. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.

I had a wonderful stay at the Leonard for my birthday. They had an excellent promotion on their website where they auction off nights at the B&B on eBay. I ended up winning a night for a *very* low price. Setting up my reservation over the phone after the auction was a snap.
The Leonard at Logan is tucked away in a neighborhood full of gorgeous 100-​year-​old houses. It is easy to find, and we were greeted promptly upon walking up to the house. The innkeeper Mark was friendly and welcoming. He gave us a grand tour of the house and backyard, and invited us to snoop around and explore the space if we felt so inclined.
We were given key-​codes to get into the house and our room. Our room, the Princess Cecile, was just perfect. It’s huge but cozy, super-​bright from all the natural sunlight and features a large whirlpool tub in it’s heated-​tile bathroom. We immediately felt at home.
Later that night, we definitely helped ourselves to the 24-​hour snack bar. I enjoyed a toasted bagel and cream cheese and Jacob went for a cereal bar. It’s a nice touch after a night on the town.
Breakfast on Sunday was excellent. Mark prepared a variety of dishes including baked french toast, blueberry pancakes, the best bacon ever and two kinds of quiche. In addition, there were many different fruits, muffins and juices to choose from. We ate good that morning!
After checking out, my husband and I decided to explore GR before heading home. I realized I forgot my Chop House leftovers in the fridge, and immediately called the B&B. Mark was incredibly accommodating about setting up a time for me to come back and grab my food. That left an impression on me.
I can’t wait for my next stay at the Leonard at Logan. With its breathtaking architecture, well-​appointed rooms, welcoming common spaces and friendly innkeeper, staying here is an experience everyone should try once.

I have stayed here on more than one occasion and it’s beautiful. I shot wedding pictures there as well when my best man stayed there. Their staff is especially friendly especially Charles. His cookies bring all the folks to the yard, he could teach you but he’d have to charge.
But seriously the décor is beautiful, it’s located in a nice area, and it’s very affordable.

Nicely remodeled 100 year old B&B in a fantastic neighborhood of Queen Annes and Frank Lloyd Wright homes. If you’re an architectural nut, you’ll be oohing and aahing from the moment you arrive.
The house is very clean, and we appreciated the free snack center.
Saying that, we do have some criticisms, like the failure of the staff to show us the outdoor patio. It would also have been nice to have some kind of patio heater or fire going out there so we could enjoy a cool spring evening.
The shower in our room was, um, interesting. A recent addition, the plumber must have had a sly sense of humor. The handle for the shower is all the way in the back of the shower, so you have to basically lean into the shower, turn on the handle to where you think it should be, and then snap your arm back before the freezing cold water hits you on the head. Then, if you guessed wrong and the temperature is, say, scalding hot, you’ll have to literally chance your arm to adjust the temperature.
The heated floor tiles in the bathroom is a nice touch though.
The owners have posted signs on all of the doors requesting that guests observe a quiet time at 10pm, and remove their hard soled shoes to keep the noise down on the wood floors. I’d like to suggest the owners do their part and do something about the squeaky floor boards on every square inch of the bedrooms. on the second floor.
Just sayin’… ;-)
To end on a higher note, the weekend breakfasts were good, although a bit repetitious. And I agree with others that being within walking distance of the Green Well restaurant is reason enough to ignore ALL of my criticisms above and return for another visit.

Had a great time staying here! Very charming and great location. I stayed in the Baron with my boyfriend for one night. We walked to cherry street for dinner and drinks. I would definitely stay here again!

This is the place I stay when I visit Grand Rapids in order to enjoy beer at Founders, my favorite brewery.
Over the years I have stayed at Leonard At Logan House about 3 or 4 times. I always stay in the Queen Anne room because I love the shower. I have toured the house and all of the rooms are spacious and very clean. Sometimes in a house this old the heating and cooling can be a little off from perfect. I have stayed both in the winter and the summer. I prefer the winter.
There is free Wi-​Fi, but the signal is pretty week on the second floor. I liked that it was available since my phone is on roaming when I am in Michigan.
I have also stayed on both weekends and weekdays. I first visited on a weekend and breakfast was served in the big dining room. Later I started coming on weekdays to avoid the crowds, but at first it wasn’t clear that they don’t cook breakfast on weekdays. This was a bit of a disappointment. There is a pretty good choice of breads, cereals, yogurt and juices available to make your own breakfast though. I am not fond of the coffee produced by the fancy machine. It tastes like vending machine coffee to me. Once nice thing is that all of this is available ²⁴⁄₇ so if you come back late at night… say after a day of beer tasting, you can have a little snack and a cup of coffee.
Unlike other bed & breakfast places that I have stayed at this one does not appear to be owned and operated by a single person or couple. Every time I stay at the Leonard I meet different staff. They are generally helpful and friendly, but not in the same way that someone who lives and breathes the business would be. This could be a good or bad thing depending on what kind of experience you are looking for. I don’t mind it, but it was something that I noticed.
The house is on a corner lot that is up on a hill compared to the road. This makes the driveway at the rear of the house very steep. I also noticed that Grand Rapids does not appear to plow side streets when it snows. These two factors could make it difficult to park behind the house in the winter. My Subaru didn’t have a problem, but I thought I would call this out for others.
On one of my stays, they were throwing a party of some sort for friends and neighbors. All of the guests staying at the house were welcome as well. A local chef, Tommy Fitzgerald, prepared a fantastic spread. I enjoyed the food and conversation, but at the same time I felt a little out of place because everyone seemed to know everyone else. After an hour or two, my wife and I retired to our room for the night. That might have also been because we had been at Founders all afternoon.
Overall, I like Leonard at Logan House. The rooms are very nice and the whole house is well kept. The prices are reasonable for the high quality of the lodging. I will definitely be staying here whenever I am in Grand Rapids.

My husband and I stayed here for one night, and it was our first time at a bed and breakfast. It was way better than most hotel experiences we’ve had!
The house is 100 years old, but very clean and kept up. There was a great balance of antique and modern design. The rooms are HUGE, especially for the price. Our room, Princess Cecile, had a great whirlpool tub. I think there are 5 rooms total, one having a separate bathroom.
Mark, our host, was fantastic. He gave us a tour when we arrived and really made us feel welcome and comfortable. We really felt like it was our house for the weekend!
We had a wonderful breakfast and there were homemade cookies, yogurt, and various refreshments downstairs at all times. We will definitely be returning!

stay here if you like the idea of a well cared for b&b, where rooms are spacious, building is relaxing and staff is dedicated to good service! the neighborhood is filled w grand, historic homes (2 frank lloyd wright homes, one right next door, another, owned by steelcase is a block away and offers free tours… fabulously restored! take a walk like we did to the green well gastro pub for dinner. a mile away.
all in all, a terrific place to stay in gr!
