"No elevator . Food for breakfast was fine . It could have been good if it were hot. Danish and muffins were not made every day appear to have been frozen or refrigerated which didn’t make them as good."

Hotel Grinnell Downtown, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"A unique property — a boutique hotel converted from a 1921 junior high school. Large spacious rooms with 15 foot vaulted ceilings. Staff are very friendly and attentive, and non-intrusive. It's central, just a couple of blocks away from Broad street and Main street. There's free self parking on the street outside the hotel, and it's a 12 minute walk or a 5 minute bike ride to Grinnell College (there are free-to-borrow bikes available in the hotel). Best hotel in and around Grinnell by a country mile. And so it's hard to book rooms whenever there are events at Grinnell College (have to book weeks sometimes months in advance)."
