Teerman Lofts

You pull in to a shared parking lot. It took a little bit of driving around, but you figured it out. You punch a code into an electronically locked door, and try to open the door. clack. No good. The light turned green. That's weird. Hm. You punch it in again. CLACK. Still nothing. 3 more tries. Nothing. a 6th try does the trick. You try not to pay attention to the dread following you, breathing right down your neck. Grab your key from a semi-public safe just inside. 30 steps up, and 10 to the right, and the first of many floorboards creaks ominously beneath you. You don't know it yet, but this is a harbinger of what's to come. Area around the property: The area around this student housing turned apartments is fantastic, and fills you with hope. Unfortunately, this is part of the illusion. Cleanliness: The inside of the building seemed to be clean, though most of the silverware had waterspots. Nothing bad there Staff & service: There's no front reception. There's just a number you can tell, but its the couple who owns it; noone on premesis Property condition & facilities: This was the deal breaker. Every single floorboard creaks, and makes you feel like you could fall through at any moment. Paint is clinging by a thread to the ceiling, and there are gashes in the walls. The bedroom isn't closed off - very bad for insomnia/trouble sleepers. Just feels dangerous. Stayed in a different hotel. Vacation ruined. Don't know how it got a 4 star rating without staff.

The loft is conveniently located in downtown Holland. It is beautiful, quiet, super close to campus, and perfect for our visit to Hope College Family Weekend. Check in and out was easy, and parking was easy. This was our 2nd stay. We’ll be back.

A great location in the middle of Holland for walking this adorable town. Teerman Lofts is our sister-trip go-to place to stay. Everything you’d ever need is included - even Mikasa glassware! A spacious living area, comfortable bed, and a great bathroom for family with a separate room for the shower. We’ve been staying at this location for years and will continue in the years to come!

Excellent location with parking, great hosts, perfect well appointed kitchen with dining seating for guests! Comfy king sized bed and great living room space when desired. Will be back when in the area again!! Highly recommend! We loved the Huron Loft. Good to know stairs needed for access and front access is only one flight :0) thanks much!

This our 4th straight year visiting Holland and staying at Teerman Lofts. The location is second to none and the lofts are fabulous. We have stayed in the Macatawa loft on all of our visits and it is spacious and overlooks 8th street. The shopping and restaurants are steps away.

We were in Holland for a week vacation and based on Trip Advisor reviews, we booked a room at Teerman Lofts. (We booked the Huron room). We had bicycles with us and the owner Jeff was very helpful in making arrangements for us to secure our bicycles in the adjacent building. Jeff even helped with retrieving our bicycles when we checked out. He was always responsive with communication and we really felt that personal and kind attention from him. Parking and check-in is a breeze. Both entrances to the loft building are secured, and of course each room is secured with a key card. The Huron loft was actually more attractive than what we expected from the photos. It is a beautifully repurposed building with many amenities and conveniences. The loft is spacious and the full, well stocked kitchen with modern appliances is a nice option to have, even though there are abundant restaurant options within walking distance. The Huron loft was extremely quiet during our stay. The only two notes to be aware is there are stairs and no elevators (as described on the website), and the windows in the Huron are high, so the only view is the sky (which some may prefer). There is a complimentary shared laundry with two nice washers and two dryers that was on the 2nd floor, and we were able to easily do laundry during our stay. The location is in the heart of the shopping and dining district, and an easy walk to the boardwalk along Lake Macatawa. The Farmers Market at the end of Eighth Street on Saturdays is not to be missed. Without a doubt the largest and best Farmers Market we have experienced. Within close proximity to the hotel, we enjoyed breakfast at The Windmill (a throwback diner) and Bowerman’s. Hops and The Curragh were our favorites for lunch and dinner. There are many other dining options in the area, and Boatwerks with a beautiful view of Lake Macatawa was within a reasonable walk. (On the North side of Lake Macatawa - a short drive from Teerman Lofts, DeBoers is not to be missed for breakfast and bake goods, and the Beechwood Grill and The Reservoir were also very good for lunch or dinner.) We enjoyed our stay at the unique Teerman Lofts and will definitely return on our next visit to Holland.
