Disliked: Cleanliness
Checked into this hotel, went to the room and right away had to come back down and ask for a new room based on how dirty it was. The front counter person gave us a new room and it was just as bad. The bathtub had a wet dirty cleaning rag in it, it looked like it had not been finished cleaning. Went down again and asked for a new room, this time front counter said they’re are no other rooms available. When I pointed out that there were no cars in the parking lot, his response was that none of their other rooms were clean! What in the world. Horrible experience at this place.

The staff was very friendly and helpful about Grinnell. The vinyl flooring in room 110 had been patched and the chair showed signs of age. The breakfast had plenty of choices and the person in charge had it clean. Overall a very nice stay and I would stay there again.
