Nothing too much trouble, the venue met my needs. Cool hotel, the stay was unforgettable, stunning location super close to the church. I got a room with a walk-in shower. Location: the venue was close enough to additional dining options, historic downtown and the restaurant.
All was perfect!

Charming Stay in Grinnell!
We had such a nice time! The staff was super friendly. Breakfast was delicious, and the outdoor dining in the park while listening to a concert was a nice touch. Just wish the room was a bit bigger, but it was still comfy. Loved the vibe of the place!

perfect for city strolls with great food nearby
I spent two nights enjoying the charm of the area, with fantastic spots like Relish just a few steps away and the excellent Faulconer Gallery less than a kilometer walk from the hotel, making it easy to explore while indulging in nice meals.

Charming decor and friendly staff added to the cozy atmosphere. The location is fabulous, right across a park with live music, perfect for dining outdoors. The lack of service at the on-site restaurant was disappointing, as we went there excited for a meal after a full day, only to find it closed without notice. While the furnishings and bed in the room were comfortable, the inconsistent service left us wanting more.

Charming Unique Stay with Room for Improvement
We enjoyed our time in this beautifully restored hotel. The bed was comfy, and the decor unique. Breakfast staffing was an issue with limited options. For families, ensure to request a quieter room if noise from bunk beds is a concern. Overall a nice experience.

Rooms feature a charming decor that adds character. The accessibility for nearby dining and entertainment is excellent.
The air system in my room emitted a deep rumbling sound that kept me awake at night, louder than it should be for such a space. The toilet felt wobbly, unsettling, and the shower design led to water splashes outside the enclosed area. If you're someone who relies on room service, my experience was disappointing as the room wasn't serviced despite being out most of the day without a 'do not disturb' sign. The weekend breakfast lacked attention, particularly in presentation and options available, affecting the overall experience on a busy morning.

This hotel is such a hidden gem! The room was spacious and accessible, and the decor was charming. I loved how close it was to the business district. The staff were friendly, making us feel welcome. The park across the street had a lovely concert going on while we dined at the outdoor restaurant, a good surprise.
