Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Grinnell, IA

The hotel is conveniently located near the Interstate 80 exit. It has ample off street free parking. It is a two-story structure. The front desk staff was very friendly. Our online reservation was received accurately. There was reliable free accessible internet. We had a room with two large queen beds with microwave, iron, ironing board, hairdryer, coffeemaker, mini fridge with a small open freezer container. The room had a desk with a chair. There was a self-contained bathroom with wall mounted toiletries. Breakfast included sausage eggs, and biscuits with other continental offerings. Cookies were put out in the late afternoon. Water and decaf coffee were also available. It was a quiet hotel with clean grounds and ample green space in the back. There was a porch area out front. The ice machine was accessible, free and reliable. The hotel had a pool and a whirlpool (which was down). It is a short drive to restaurants and conveniences including a Wal-Mart, McDonalds, Taco Johns, Subway, Jimmy Johns, and local places.

We don’t live too far from grinnell but just needed a couple days away. We do this every so often. This was our first time at this hotel and it’s by far been the best experience in the area. We will be back!!! The staff and breakfast is great and the hotel is very clean! Refreshing!

Were worried when we saw state of outside of hotel-whole front was major damage and broken window/screens. Asked if we could see room before we checked in and front desk lady was nasty. There was a storm 3 months ago and repairs never done. Room was nice, but in my sister's room, the outside windows were broken and huge shards still there. EXTREMELY concerning since you could still open the window. There were a lot of children staying in hotel and this is so dangerous! My room the curtains were torn and huge stains. Breakfast was bleak.

Highly disappointed with the hygiene of this place. There are stains everywhere. Not only that but it looks like they didn’t clean anything from the person who had the room before us. I would not recommend coming here and my boyfriend and I will never come here again. I attached pictures below

We were given a room with a known leak in the ceiling. Didn’t realize it until the next morning when the carpet was wet. There were water stains, and cracks in the ceiling which tells me it’s been there for a while. Possible mold. Manager was willing to give me a discount the next day. This is not a $145 hotel. Should be half of that.

This was a solid hotel, it was spacious. Hot water worked well. Of course, we paid a little more than we should have, but it was busy because of college move in day. Breakfast was pretty good, the omelets were tasty. The only issue is that we wanted 2 queens, and they gave us a king.

The staff here were great. Loved that the pool is open from 6am to midnight - got some quality time in all by myself. The room was clean and comfortable. Some weird repairs were done in the shower that were not aesthetically lovely but I was able to overlook them since it worked. This motel is about 10 minutes by car from Grinnell College and very close to I-80. Will stay here again.

Great service. Great macadamia nut cookies. Clean rooms. Awful pillows. Slightly less awful mattress. Lots of towels. Old bath, but a good shower. Cigarette stained smoke detectors and switch plates. My experience is tainted by the $180 we paid for the night. Had we paid less, I'd have been a little less mad at the room quality.

Perfect for a night or two with a very friendly front desk. The room was fine and clean. It was a bit noisy but it was also very crowded. I did not test the fitness room and swimming pool so I can't comment on that.
