We booked the Country Inn & Suites over a year in advance so that we wouldn't have such a long drive from Des Moines, and it was worth it. There isn't anything within walking distance of the hotel, so a car is necessary. As has been mentioned in other reviews, the hotel doesn't have an elevator, so you will have to carry your suitcase upstairs; be sure to let the hotel know if a disability or anything would keep you from bringing your bag upstairs so you can stay on the ground floor. The hotel provides free breakfast which has the standard eggs, breakfast meat and some carbs. The rooms are pretty tired but they were otherwise clean and functional. The gym was a decent size with a couple of cardio machines, some free weights and one weight machine.

We had a number of issues ranging from lots of noise to broken appliances to cleaning issues. The manager and her son were wonderful, but I would not return to this hotel at $250 per night.

Every single detail of this house is beautifully done. Take a step into the turn of the century. How could you not pour yourself a thimble of sherry and sit quietly in the living room just absorbing the wonder, thinking about the intervening 125 years, the lives lived; the joys and sorrows, the losses, the loves. Magical? Indeed. (Feeling peckish? There are probably a few fresh baked goodies in the kitchen.) The feather bed was.....a dream! Lovely soaps and lotions are all here for bathing. Big cozy super fresh towels and best linens. And breakfast. Wow. You won't need lunch. It changed daily. A generous bowl of fresh fruit with yogurt always started it. Then each day was different-a frittata, French toast, pancakes, eggs with sausages or bacon. Yum. I sort of don't want to leave. But. Yeah. Back to life. Back to reality. I love my home but this has been grand.

The Comfort Inn in Grinnell is perfectly fine for what you pay. For $120/night after taxes, I got…read morea clean and quiet room with a comfortable King size bed (though the pillows leave something to be desired). The alarm clock worked well, the TV was a large flatscreen with HBO and limited other channels, the desk chair was cheap but fine, and I appreciated the comfortable couch-like chair and ottoman. The bathroom was spotless and huge with plenty of towels and fine-enough water pressure. I enjoyed my window (that could open!) view from the 3rd floor, although if you're a light sleeper you might want to request a room in the back of the hotel because you can definitely hear car traffic through the night (I sleep like a brick so it was no problem). They have coffee round the clock in the lobby and there were often cookies as well when I went by. The wi-fi works well. I didn't check out the pool, but used the "fitness center" a few times. I put it in quotation marks because really it's a small carpeted room on the first floor with one treadmill, one bike, one elliptical, one weight machine, and a TV. It served it's purpose. Everything worked, they had a little water container and towels, and I enjoyed that I could control the A/C unit. I suppose my only annoyance was that when I checked in I asked for a slightly later checkout, and was told i would have to ask the morning of. I asked the night before and again, the kid working the counter kind-of stared at me blankly and told me he didn't know what to say. It was awkward to the extreme. The purpose of having a later checkout is so you can get some more sleep, so asking me to ask the morning I wanted to check out kind of defeated the purpose. But, ultimately, I called down to the desk at 9am to ask and the woman I spoke with was pleasant and immediately accommodating, so I went back to sleep until 10, got my exercise in, and checked out at noon. Oh, also, there was what looked like a cigarette burn in my comforter on the bed, but whatever, right? If you're traveling for business or visiting someone in Grinnell, this place is A-Ok.

What else? Oh, have I mentioned that the bedroom is useless 4 months in a year? In the middle of summer like this, the bedroom is too hot you have to sleep in the living room. In the winter, the bedroom is freezing. When it's humid, the floor is wet, and you know what? The owner got the audacity to ask us IF we broke a pipe. Like how? Also, 4-times already, we got dead mole in the furnace room. We cannot even use the furnace or water heater room (but it's attached to our bedroom somehow), and somehow, moles kept getting in there. The building manager is nice though. But, overall, shitty building. Skip this one.

Until I noticed my carpet was wet under the ac unit. Upon further inspection there was mold growing on it as well. I called the front desk and he gently scolded me for not telling him when I check in so he could have someone clean it for me. Really? He gave us the handicapped room which had a queen sized bed. It was a bit more updated so I was happy with it until I noticed the shower and tub was not clean. So if I had asked them to clean the other room it would not have been done properly anyway. It has a pool which made the second room extremely muggy, it was also raining which didn't help. Lastly, breakfast would have been great if their microwave worked to heat up the cold omelettes offered. So we paid for a King bed and got a queen, no price reduction and no apologies for having to change rooms. We won't be back.
