Hotel Grinnell

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.

Hotel Grinnell provides a creative and comfortable atmosphere with facilities that meet all of a guest's needs and beyond. This was only our second stay with the property, but we had looked forward to our return and were again very pleased. The staff is friendly and helpful, the breakfast is fresh and covers all the bases, and the property could not be in a better location.

We really don't have any complaints. The only thing would be that we again did not make use of the work out facilities or the fantastic bikes that the Hotel provides...hopefully next time!

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!

An excellent visionary transformation from a secondary school building to a single hotel. The educational topic remained like a foundation throughout. The ballroom, an original well-kept basketball court is perfect for this purpose. The periodic table comes alive in the restaurant as well as in the entire hotel. Congratulations.

Side comments and perhaps an indirect result of the pandemic, a fine layer of dust covered part of the black furniture. The east-facing room may have enhanced the visual impact. What surprised me was to find an empty body wash dispenser, though there were three different conditioner containers in the shower cubicle. Attention to detail was missing

Great location, clean and beautifully decorated in a quirky style. Nice gym. Good food. Extremely helpful staff.

Bar closed at 10pm on weekdays. it would have been nice to be able to get a drink after that. Breakfast was a bit shambolic, they were more than happy to refill the food and coffee but we had to ask.

The room was clean, spacious and nicely decorated. The property is an old school and the owners did a great job of converting it to a hotel while managing keep the charm. Every staff member was friendly and helpful. The Periodic Table, the restaurant on site, was a nice place to have some drinks and a light meal. Although it was too cold to enjoy, the patio outside looked lovely.

Love to see old buildings repurposed and given new life in a central location. Thoughtful touches and good service. Just what Grinnell needs in town for college families visiting.

Fantastic design of rooms. Very unique, making use of former school. And comfortable and with everything you could need. Relaxing and serene atmosphere. Very comfortable beds. All in all, a surprisingly stylish hotel in a small town.

It would be great if the restaurant had a greater variety of food, but this may only be possible after the pandemic is over and business returns to normal. The cocktails were great so no complaints there.

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

This hotel was SO much fun! The staff was so incredibly nice! Maddy made us feel right at home! We stayed in the Principal's Office and it is hands down the best room! Their communication was great and the check-in process was a breeze. We borrowed the bikes to ride around this cute little town, then played games in the Periodic Table while having cocktails and eating. We would definitely recommend this fun place!!
