This hotel is a real gem. We have been traveling cross country and have had to stay in boring, nondescript hotels all along the way - except for Hotel Grinnell! The staff was friendly and helpful, and the whole facility was so charming and clever in its decor. The town of Grinnell is cute and lively. There is a beautiful big park across the street from the hotel and they had a free concert playing that we listened to while eating dinner outside at the hotel restaurant. We were just so surprised to find such a great town and hotel.

Quaint hotel. Close to downtown. Bikes were fun

There wasn’t always someone at check in, I had to call a phone number on the check in desk (at 3:00) and wait Seemed short staffed for this reason

I liked the location

I didn't like how I received a text msg from a staff member telling me they went ahead and canceled my booking before 6pm the day I booked, saying something about me not having a real credit card! It was rude and misleading and very discriminating!

great location. excellent renovation of the old school. good public space options.

understaffed. breakfast was ok

Breakfast was so-so.

The hotel is extremely clean, comfortable and in a great location. It provides a cool, relaxed atmosphere with options for food and fun space for meeting with friends or other guests. We really enjoy the breakfast as it covers everything, and love visiting with the friendly staff. Always look forward to our stays!

No hot water in the morning. Front desk staff was sparse.

hotel looks good at the advertising pictures but it was not real

air intake system noise is loud and make me discomfort to sleep at all
