"This is a very nice property. I have stayed in many hotels over the years, and this was one of the cleanest. If there is anything to complain about is there is "some" traffic noise from nearby Highway 30. Beyond that, id recommend it to anyone!!"

"When the maids forget to make up a room its not a big deal until thats the room you get. And the front desk gal doesn't see it as a big deal that they gave you a dirty room. Interesting convo to say the least as to why a person may want a new room and they don't seem to understand the problem."
"We truly enjoyed our stay here. We were panicking, as we could not find a hotel as a team due to other activities in the area and stumbled across this one, which was only 27 minutes from the fields. The man who checked us in was very friendly and professional. The price was wonderful compared to the surrounding hotels we looked into. The pool and hot tub were wonderful, and my kids had so much fun. The rooms were nice and clean. My only complaint was there was a dead bug in our bathtub upon our arrival, however, I'd take a dead one over alive, any day. The breakfast was great. Many options to choose from and the area was nice and clean. I absolutely would stay here again if we came back for baseball tournaments."
Hotel Grinnell Downtown, an Ascend Collection Hotel
4/10 Poor
"The hotel is unique in that it used to be a middle school. It has a school feel to it which is fun. However, the room felt dirty, and it felt like there was no staff anywhere. Almost felt like we were walking the halls of an abandoned hotel. We always had to wait for someone to come to the desk or we were directed to the restaurant for anything we needed (which was also empty until someone came out). The old wood floors in the room are noisy and creaky when you walk so you can’t get up to go to the bathroom without waking everyone else up. Would not recommend. "
