Good for one night with dogs

He was going to put me on the 2nd floor with 2 dogs. I said that won’t work. Do you have a pet room on the 1st floor. They had a king with a small couch. Parts of the hotel had been updated. Not my room. The couch was worn enough there was a hole on arm. I’ve never seen a shower like the one in the bathroom. It had instructions on how to operate. Breakfast was decent.

Disliked: Amenities
This is a last-choice option in Grinnell – inexpensive to be sure, but the rooms are rather rundown, the bathroom could have used a deep clean, and the amenities are few and far between (e.g., my TV wouldn't show any channels).

Staff was nice. Rooms are dated. No elevator so if you have trouble with stairs, make sure to get first floor. The second floor hallway smelled of Cury and was very over powering. Made my wife nauseous.
