Decent short term stay for the price

Most of the staff were friendly and helpful. Would have been helpful if the staff ar check in were knowledgeable about directions to local communities. Decent hot breakfast.

I'd stay here againg

Rooms were looked updated and clean. Minor discoloration of the wallpaper in the bathroom, but the was my only complaint. Others the staff was very helpful, I received a call to my room from the front desk 10 minutes after check-in just to make sure I was satisfied with my room. Nice room for a competitive price.

Good but loud heaters

I went to Grinnell to Find out if the college was a good fit for my son. he accommodations were fine - except for a noisy heater. I used the exercise room which had a spinning machine , a tread mill and a stair master.

June 11 stay

We were at a meeting in Grinnell and didn't get a lot of time at the motel. The only problem we found was that there was no coffee in the breakfast room and the orange juice was also gone until we called their attention to this. Everything else was fine.
