This hotel was clean, the breakfast was good, and everything worked as it should. There was even a nice steakhouse and a gas station next door so we didn't have to travel into a town to eat or get gas. The pillows could've been a bit fluffier. The bed, otherwise, was very comfortable. The walls must be a bit thin because I could hear noise from another room one night.

Beds were comfortable, attractive room and hotel....everything was clean. We would stay at the est Western Pioneer Inn again.

I confess to a bias. I am a big Best Western fan. This hotel is an example of why. The woman at the reception desk was friendly and helpful. We had a clean spacious room, plenty of towels, air conditioner that works fine, very comfy bed and pillows, mini bar and microwave. There is a large grassy area to walk you dog. A minor complaint is the small bathroom

My husband and I moved across country in January '08, and we got snowed in at this hotel for 2 days. Even though we weren't on vacation, this hotel was so relaxing and wonderful that we felt like we were just there for fun. The hotel staff were absolutely wonderful, they even let us borrow their snow shovel when it was time to go.

The prices were surprisingly reasonable considering that every other hotel we had gotten snowed in at had charged an arm and a leg just because they knew we had no other choice. The Best Western, however, charged us very reasonably and treated us like family. My husband and I agreed that we would love to go back in the near future to "get snowed in again" because it was just so nice the first time!

Bottom line, out of all the hotels I've stayed in, and I've stayed in tons by now, the Best Western in Grinnell, Iowa is my absolute #1. If I had my choice, I would just take this hotel with me wherever I need to travel, just so I can be sure to have a great stay.
