Top Grinnell College Hotel Reviews

AmericInn by Wyndham Grinnell

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, friendly staff, nice breakfast. Pleasure staying there."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Grinnell, IA

10/10 Excellent

"No complaints. Room and beds were comfortable. The ac unit worked well and wasn’t noisy - just the perfect amount of white noise. Lots of green space to walk the dogs. Breakfast was abundant with pretty good variety for the price point. My husband thought the room smelled like dog so perhaps they could have deodorized better between guests but I didn’t really notice that. I would stay again when passing through"
