Top Grinnell Historical Museum Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn & Suites Grinnell near I-80

8/10 Good

"Room was clean, bed comfy. Staff friendly and helpful."

Cobblestone Inn & Suites - Newton

8/10 Good

"Clean rooms with comfortable beds, but one of the toilets “screamed” every flush, and the furniture was in need of replacing (huge worn spots on furniture in the rooms). Hot breakfast was nice, but missed having biscuits and gravy during the week. Front desk staff were helpful when I forgot I’d made the reservations in two different names."

Designer Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff. Casino was close"

Cozy Lake Cottage! Dog Friendly, Fishing/Beach/Kayak. Military 30% Off

10/10 Excellent

"This was the perfect place to unwind for a couple of days. The screened porch with the rocking chairs was super relaxing. Our son loved being so close to the lake and the fishing was great. Best of all we got to bring our fur babies with us ! Definitely would stay here again."

AmericInn by Wyndham Grinnell

10/10 Excellent

"excellent room, breakfast and staff"

4 bedroom cottage with 2 indoor fireplaces

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was as described and then some. We would definitely stay here again!"

Grinnell Heritage Tiny House - On Organic Farm

8/10 Good

"The Tiny House was a cute little place to stay. The location is very convenient to downtown Grinnell. The interior was neat, simple, and covered the basics. The view looking over the little meadow and farm land was beautiful and peaceful. The bed in the loft was comfortable and cozy. For people with physical challenges it may be too difficult to maneuver up and down the stairs, but there is a futon couch that converts into a small bed. Overall we had a nice stay at the Tiny House."

Quality Inn & Suites Grinnell near University

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean the entire place! Pool was able to be used 24 hours a day. Was perfect for our late check ìn. Breakfast was fine. Great place to stay."

Gorgeous 1908 Estate on 1 acre of land. 6 blocks from Grinnell College.

10/10 Excellent

"The house was perfect for 4 adults to stay for several days while in town for an event. We enjoyed the back patio with the the grill and became the space for others in our party to eat due to the lovely kitchen. Communication was great with the host . We would definitely stay here again."
