Best Western Holiday Manor

6/10 Okay

"The front desk clerk was very friendly and competent. The property was just ok. Breakfast wasn’t very healthy for us, so we opted to go to a restaurant."

Quality Inn & Suites Grinnell near University

4/10 Poor

"Had to wait 20 minutes after arrival because the room i booked was not even clean. The night desk girl said she was going to talk to them about a refund in the morning but of course that didn't happen. Overall dissatisfied with this hotel.would not recommend staying here at all."

4 bedroom cottage with 2 indoor fireplaces

10/10 Excellent

"This property is perfect for a large group or family & has everything you need! The kitchen island is huge and made our gathering so comfortable. We loved having the shuffleboard table & huge sectional couch in the rec room. The proximity to the lake made for great fishing, & many family members made full use of the hammock in the yard. Great property!"
