Overall Ratings & Reviews AmericInn by Wyndham Grinnell

Very good option for quick stop. Affordable, clean, easy check in

This place was great value for the price; clean, quiet room where everything functions--appreciate the lamps! The breakfast was above average--more than I expected.

Staff was excellent and room was clean and neat

Hotel needed updating; a bit dingy; outside parking areas needed improvement

Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fine. Good value for the rate charged.

The staff was very accommodating to make our trip very enjoyable.

It was a great stay

This isnt a Wyndham quality property. The property was a cheap noisy remodel. The photos and the brand name are deceptive. I could hear every other person staying in the hotel. If it didn't have the AmericInn Wyndham name it would be a cheap roadside hotel.

there wasn't enouph space to put our bags on

No coffee in the lobby coffee service

There are granite floors and granite counters in the bathroom. The mattress is actually very comfortable and when I made a comment about that to the owner, he said they just replaced them six months ago. You can tell that they are keeping up with things as ways to improve the hotel. Everybody who works there is very gracious and considerate, and always have smiles on their faces. The continental breakfast is pretty straightforward with fresh fruit, muffins, oranges, eggs, bacon, sausage, coffee.

Friendly

Attentive

Ok for one night

Toilet not bolted down, Poor remodeling. Bath tub drain slow, poorly repainted.

Our stay was for one night. It was quiet with no issues

The "exceptional" reviews for this hotel refer to the main building only. We were put in the second (detatched) building. They have slapped on a new coat of paint (even over unrepaired holes in the walls) and the furniture is new, but everything else is the same as the former Best (worst) Western. 2 people can't fit in the bathroom -the doorframe is 18 inches wide, rusty, moldy bathtub, old dirty shower curtain that is too long so you have to stand on it when you shower (yuck!) dirty carpets, greasy handprints on the headboard (??!), nothing on the walls, only outlets on the nightstands, no light in the entry. They don't fill the icemaker so you have to go to the other building, same for breakfast (not great when it's below 0 degrees). Also, the breakfast is not good and is the same every day. Unidentifiable stench in the hallways-better than it used to be but still there. Crappy TV service. Oh, and our mini-fridge was not a fridge but a freezer, so ruined our food/sodas. JUST DON'T STAY HERE. Better to stay 20 minutes away in Newton if everything else in Grinnell is booked. If you are expecting it to be like other AmericInns you have stayed in before, this is not that.

We were assigned to the non-attached building near the main hotel. It was aged. Ice machine did not work, the gym was a joke as it was not usable. The elliptical was broken, the stationary bike was broken, and the treadmill was all rusty and OLD. I had to pay $60 for day passes to the local Anytime Fitness to workout each morning. There was no plug in the bathtub to retain water for a bath. On the plus side it was quiet. Grinnell needs to update there hotels.

Clean friendly and quiet

Really long wait to check in when I already checked in online. Was frustrating
