Charming Stay in Grinnell!
We had such a nice time! The staff was super friendly, making us feel right at home. Breakfast was delicious, and the outdoor dining in the park while listening to a concert was a nice touch. Just wish the room was a bit bigger, but it was still comfy. Loved the vibe of the place!

I spent two nights enjoying the charm of the area, with fantastic spots like Relish just a few steps away and the impressive Faulconer Gallery less than a kilometer walk from the hotel, making it easy to explore while indulging in memorable meals.

Charming decor and friendly staff added to the cozy atmosphere, making the experience delightful. The location is fabulous, right across a park with live music, perfect for dining outdoors. However, the lack of service at the on-site restaurant was disappointing, as we went there excited for a meal after a full day, only to find it closed without notice. While the furnishings and bed in the room were comfortable, the inconsistent service left us wanting more.

Charming Unique Stay with Room for Improvement
We enjoyed our time in this beautifully restored hotel. The bed was comfy, and the decor unique. However, breakfast staffing was an issue with limited options. For families, ensure to request a quieter room if noise from bunk beds is a concern. Overall a memorable experience.

missingWrote a review on 11 Julcharming decorgreat accessibilitywobbly toilet
Rooms feature a charming decor that adds character, creating a comfortable atmosphere for relaxation. The accessibility for nearby dining and entertainment is impressive, making it easy to explore local spots without hassle.
The air system in my room emitted a deep rumbling sound that kept me awake at night, louder than it should be for such a space. The toilet felt wobbly, which was unsettling, and the shower design led to water splashes outside the enclosed area, making it less practical. If you're someone who relies on room service, my experience was disappointing as the room wasn't serviced during my stay despite being out most of the day without a 'do not disturb' sign. Also, the weekend breakfast lacked attention, particularly in presentation and options available, affecting the overall experience on a busy morning.

Charming stay with a unique vibe
I had a lovely stay in a spacious and clean room, appreciating the charming decor that reflects the building's history as a school. The temperature control was excellent, and the linens were quite comfortable. However, it would be great if the bathroom could see some improvements in cleanliness.
