Comfort Inn & Suites Grinnell near I-80

10/10 Excellent

"Did not use pool or hut tub, so can’t comment on those, but room was clean & beds were comfortable. Breakfast was quite good with lots of options (mini omelette, sausage, yogurt, waffles, etc) including fresh fruit. Only problem - if you come with a trailer call ahead about where to park!! The lot only has one entrance/exit & you can’t loop around the building."
