Had the best night sleep at Hotel Grinnell, during artic blast snow storm. The temperature was -9 with a wind chill of negative -25. The heat wasn't working enough to keep the building warm, but management made sure people that needed it had a space heater. Shower water was hot. Thank goodness the pipes didn't freeze. Love the double head rain fall showerhead. This is my 2nd time staying at this property, and I have already made my next reservation. I would go out of my way to stay at this hotel.

There was no one at the front desk when we arrived. They said they would email the final bill to me, it never came. The breakfast was lame. There are much better options in town. It was expensave for the services we received, The employees were not friendly.

I loved it!
Since I haven't been traveling much lately, I wanted to stay someplace nice--and Hotel Grinnell definitely was that. Since they repurposed an old school into a hotel, they used a school theme throughout. Rooms are a wonderful mix of new and old--nice, clean modern styling, but with the wonderful old hardwood floors from days gone by. Other guests made the same comments as I did, "This place is cool!"
