Grinnell Hotel with Pool

"Breakfast was terrific. Too tired to use hot tub."

"Good breakfast "

"The lady that prepared the food in the morning was charming and interested in our travels. She was very efficient, frequently checking to see that there was adequate food for her guests and restocking. She was always on the move, wiping down the serving area and removing trash. We owned restaurants and we recognized that she’s an asset to your business"

"Evening check in staff was very cordial. Room had a clean smell when entering. Room window severely cracked with hole in glass? Breakfast was poor quality, dining area was not clean or tables sanitized after use. Room furnishings were dusty. No room service (no cleaning/pick up used towels wash cloths & replace during 2 day stay). Very noisy with several sports teams present. Fire alarm set off during 1st night-child prank. Did not use hot tub or pool. Convenient location. Landscape poorly maintained."

"The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Feels good to be greeted with a smile. Rooms were nice."

"Breakfast was picked over during busy time of tulip festival. "

"Couldn't keep up with coffee. Sunday morning a baseball team was eating breakfast so they pretty much took up the eating area. An hour later the hot items weren't hot/ lukewarm . Had to wait for coffee. NO ELAVATOR. Had to walk up 18 steps with your luggage plus no cart to put luggage on as we were on the second floor. Railings wobbly, not secure."

"Hot breakfast was adequate but not exceptional. Lobby was quite lovely and very comfortable. Did not use the hot tub or pool but other guests commented that they were pleased. Employees were very kind and helpful. An unpleasant surprise: 1 $25 "Upsell Early check in" After traveling from Bhm Alabama to Newton and arriving only 2 hours prior to check in time, this was an unpleasant surprise on our bill 2 Although not requiring any maid service, charged $4/day "service fees" These are cheesy methods for owner to make a few extra dollars "

"The room was comfortable. The breakfast was good. The staff were very nice. "
