"Staff were very welcoming and friendly. When we first arrived, we noticed our toilet wouldn’t flush and the sink wouldn’t drain properly. Staff did come and temporarily fix the toilet, but my husband had to continue to mess with it for the duration of the stay. Beds were comfortable and breakfast was good. The pool was freezing and my kids only lasted about 20 minutes. Also there is no hot tub anymore. It looks like it was filled in. Overall it was fine for what we needed but the rooms need a little tlc."
Hotel Grinnell Downtown, an Ascend Collection Hotel
4/10 Poor
"The hotel is unique in that it used to be a middle school. It has a school feel to it which is fun. However, the room felt dirty, and it felt like there was no staff anywhere. Almost felt like we were walking the halls of an abandoned hotel. We always had to wait for someone to come to the desk or we were directed to the restaurant for anything we needed (which was also empty until someone came out). The old wood floors in the room are noisy and creaky when you walk so you can’t get up to go to the bathroom without waking everyone else up. Would not recommend. "
"Worst hotel I have EVER stayed in! Looks far worse than the pictures. Staff is non-existent, you have to call them and they drive over. The room itself was FILTHY, especially the bathroom which in no way was cleaned from whomever stayed last. Two tiny crappy pillows per queen bed. Broken fixtures, holes in walls, window broken and wouldn't lock, dirty towels, light bulb missing, tv barely worked, zero decor, dripping bathtub faucet, pubes in tub, blood on bathroom wall, I could go on and on. Avoid at all costs!!! They wouldn't provide a refund after check in, and wouldn't switch rooms. We left."
