I would rate this a better than average Day's Inn. It is far enough from the freeway to be quiet, the room was clean and wel furnished and the included hot breakfast very extensive - was what you would expect in a more expensive motel.

Basic room but nice breakfast and staff. A good value for those looking to stop for a night while passing through the area.

Had a great night in one of the large Suites. Best whirlpool tub in Town I think. It was a great date night with a great dinner at Grinnell Steak house. I look forward to have a great nights stay again soon. Also was a good breakfast for a days inn.

Bed bugs, mold, faulty wiring, leaking fixtures, spoiled breakfast food, no heat. I am in hotels over 100 days a year and this is absolutely the worst hotel I've ever stayed in. Never ever stay here. Run away!

Thank you for your comments. I apologize that your experience was anything less than satisfying. Immediate action was taken after the incident was reported and we had Plunket Pest Control come to the hotel. According to our standard protocol they serviced the room, did a thorough inspection and service those rooms. Rest assured, we have re-trained our team members and... More

We were visiting family and just needed a place to sleep and get ready in the mornings. There was a complete lack of housekeeping. Upon returning the first night, the only thing done was bed making, and towels. Nothing was cleaned, emptyed, or replenished for the following day. The night staff couldn't care less, very rude. The second day was... More

My friends and I stayed over the weekend to catch a Hawkeye game and visit some old friends. Friendly staff, great hot breakfast, and reasonable price convinced us to stay another night. Several good places to eat also other than the usual chains. Looking forward to visiting again!

Go Hawks! Glad that you enjoyed your stay. This is a good location for any of the Iowa games, just an hour west of Iowa City, gets you away from all the crouds there. Grinnell does have a great choice of good restaurants. Hope to see you again soon! More

We checked in around 1am, were greater by friendly staff. The room was clean, free breakfast was fine. For $55/night it was perfect for passing through.

This hotel delivers horrible customer service. The desk clerk and the manager are rude and potentially scam artists. I booked a room in June and called and cancelled the reservation 3 days before my stay. The desk clerk did not offer me a cancellation number and charged my credit card for the room. When I noticed the charge and called... More

Undergoing construction, but that was not really a problem. However, the room needed a deep cleaning. The bedspread had large stains on it, as did one of the bathroom walls. The outside security doors were propped open with a brick from the construction site. Not handicapped accessible. There was no elevator to our 2nd floor room. A new mini refridgerator... More
