MegaBus - The MegaBus takes 3 hours from Chicago to Grand Rapids. Fares start at $1, but will increase closer to your departure date. If you book far enough in advance, you can get an amazing deal! All MegaBus busses arrive at the parking lot on SW corner of intersection of Market St SW and Wealthy St SW. 

Driving - Driving is most flexible if you cannot accommodate the MegaBus or train schedules. Be sure to look up directions to your hotel before hand, have toll money ready, etc. 

If you decided to take Amtrak or the MegaBus to Grand Rapids, you can call ahead for a cab to take you to your hotel, or download the Uber car service app.
