Testimonial:
"Hotel Grinnell left a lasting impression as one of the most unique boutique hotels our group has ever experienced. The Hotel Grinnell staff were extremely accommodating - from the check-in process, to meals, to event set-up, they were quick to adapt to our requests and offered solutions when we needed to bring guest speakers in virtually. The outdoor patio and space in the Periodic Table is just perfect for a corporate or casual event alike. The extra touches which complimented the theme of a “junior high” such as games, bicycles and chalkboards are what made our stay so much fun!"-Sara C., Key Cooperative 8/2/2020
