We stayed two nights in this wonderful inn. Our hostess, Val, was pleasant and helpful. Would have given a rating of five except that several rooms share a single bathroom (although this arrangement has allowed the owners to keep the original floor plan of the house intact). More

We recently stayed at the Spaulding Inn during a visit to Grinnell College and our stay there made us feel as at home as our son did on campus. The inn is very well appointed and both rooms that we stayed in provided a great night's sleep. We enjoyed sitting and talking with other guests at breakfast and in the... More

I stayed two time at the Spaulding Inn while my daughter visited Grinnell college. Both times I was impressed with the hospitality of Ms Hammond (owner). The Inn is located just a short walk from both the college and the town. At no time did I need to drive anywhere while visiting Grinnell. The Inn is very clean and the... More

I spent 3 nights at the Spaulding In Bead and Breakfast (March 13-15, 2012) while visiting my daughter who attends Grinnell College. The Inn is an impeccably kept historic building. My room was lovely and the bed very comfortable. I noted that there were 4 pillows with different lofts (including a contour) on the bed so that all preferences were... More

My husband and I stayed in the Burr Oak room last weekend. Great experience-very comfortable bed and clean room. The house is amazing-spent alot of time looking at the interesting and historical items. Valarie was very gracious and informative. Breakfast was healthy and delicious. Definitely would stay there again. More

I stayed here last fall, and it was so nice. I stayed in a room with the bathroom down the hall, but there weren't many people there so it felt like I had it to myself. Breakfast with my son (who attends Grinnell College) in the morning was very nice. I would love to stay here again. Thanks Valerie for... More

The B&B is beautiful inside and out. Located very close to downtown attractions and Grinnell College with quick access to the highways that enter town. The large enclosed front porch was a great place for friends to gather and socialize. Delicious breakfasts. Owner and hostess Valerie was helpful and available but not intrusive. Several rooms share one bathroom, which can... More
