Love that they converted this building from a school to a hotel; great little bar and outside gathering space; offer bikes to ride; staff very amenable.
Mike, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean rooms with a great lounge and fun history

Hotel was easy to find and parking was easily accessible. Staff was very nice and helpful and check in was very easy, even after posted hours. Rooms were clean and cozy, although old electrical and plumbing makes for a constant humm noise. Nonetheless, the history and architecture of the building were fun to learn about. The restaurant "Periodic Table" was a fun lounge with games including Scrabble, shuffleboard, and skeeball, along with card games. If you are a gamer, you'll love hanging out in the lounge, bring an extra set of your favorite card game to donate as the games have clearly seen better days! Due to visiting during the off-season, breakfast was not available, so we received vouchers for nearby restaurants. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend booking here if you are visiting Grinnel College or just the town.

Such a fun hotel with its mix of modern and school house classic. Great accommodations. Clean. Easy to walk to dining and shopping options.
Amie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

If you need to travel to Grinnell, this is without a doubt the nicest hotel in the area. However, the walls are paper thin and we could hear all the conversations from the room next to ours. The old hardwood floors are so squeaky that if anyone in the room adjacent to ours got up during the night, we would hear them. The elevator works good, but it makes an unsettling noise right before it stops, so loud that my son did not feel comfortable in it. The room itself is beautiful and in good condition. The hotel advertises that it offers free breakfast, but in fact it offers $10 vouchers per person for nearby restaurants that offer breakfast. The hotel does not have its own private parking lot, but rather street parking.
