Days Inn Grinnell 2009.08.22
Not recommended Trip type: All Others "fell and left"

Reviewed by ks of ohio on Aug 22, 2009

I fell down the stairs at this hotel the morning we were leaving and my daughter went to get help. She was given an ice pack and no one came to ck on me or to ask her if further help was needed. She (my 6th grade daughter) was visibly upset and angry with their lack of concern or offer of assistance. After I sat on the ground with ice for almost 30 minutes my daughter helped me up and and out to the van and we left. During the time I sat at the bottom of the steps with ice 3 cleaning staffers (who appeared to be family) walked 25 to 30 feet from me looked and did nothing to help and offered no assistance.

Recommended Trip type: Business "Decent place to stay, nice fitness equipment"

Reviewed by Lila of Des Moines on Jun 30, 2009

I found the carpet in the hallway and the stiars in particular to be very dirty througout my 2 night stay, and this was the biggest complaint that I had as it was quite evident. The room was clean, no frills, but did have a fridge and there was a fridge, which was nice. The decor was a bit sparce, and the table had to be moved in order to use the computer and see the TV. The hot tub wasn't warm enough, but the fitness equipment in the very small work out room was surprisingly nice and in good repair. Breakfast was adequate.

Not recommended Trip type: Family "Needs improvement."

Reviewed by Diana of Arlington on Mar 22, 2009

We went to this hotel because we love staying at the Days Inn hotels. Normally very family oriented. When we got there the room was made up but there was no kleenix and very little toilet paper. Our room shared a wall with the breaakfast area. The walls are paper thin and everyone could hear us when we would just talk in a normal voice. Needless to say we heard everyone else throughout the night. Thepool was not very clean. There was alot of debris on the floor of the pool. The hot tub was not heated up. It was a lot colder than the actual pool. We would not stay there again.

I have stayed at the other hotels in Grinell and this is my least favorite, however, it is also the least expensive. There was nothing that I didn't like, but there was nothing that stood out to encourage me to visit it again outside of the price.

Very quiet--I didn't hear a thing outside the room. Lots of pillows were great, but the dead fly caught in the cobweb in the corner lacked charm. The free breakfast was nice but the waffles made by several people were pale and funny looking.
