Now completed, our king guest room is inviting with its comfortable, high-quality linens and everything you could need during your stay.

Inner Workings of The Godfrey Hotel Sign

In a new article by Blake Thorne on MLive.com, we get the lowdown on where our gorgeous illuminated sign comes from! The Godfrey Hotel’s super modern sign and canopy system was designed and installed by Signs by Crannie out of Flushing, Mich. Read more about the installation here.
