Top Arbor Lake Hotel Reviews

Links Bos Landen Hotel & Spa of Pella, Trademark by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was great! The facility was nice and it was convenient to where we needed to be."

AmericInn by Wyndham Newton

8/10 Good

"Staff was very nice. Pool was nice and warm but the ground got very slippery when wet. Blackout curtains were very nice since the parking lot is very lit-up at night. Breakfast was also very good with a good selection. Pull out bed in couch was not the best but we got a lot of sheets and blankets from the staff to make it softer :) and the ac didn’t cool the best but overall good place to stay."

Hotel Grinnell Downtown, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is such a charming hotel! The property is a renovated school that was built in the 1920s. We loved all the thoughtful details including the original hardwood floors and the interior design selections that alluded to the fact that the building was once a school. The restaurant serves charcuterie boards and clever cocktails. The check in process was a little confusing because there isn’t a dedicated front desk, and the shower temp was just lukewarm, but the charm of the hotel outweighed those minor issues."
