Top Lake Ponderosa Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Grinnell, IA

8/10 Good

"Easy check in. Friendly front desk attendant. Clean room and hallways. Eggs, sausages and French toast was cold at breakfast."

Comfort Inn & Suites Grinnell near I-80

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The staff was incredibly welcoming and made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The room was spotless, and the view was absolutely beautiful. Overall, it was a very pleasant and memorable experience. I would happily stay here again."

Baymont by Wyndham Pella

10/10 Excellent

"My adult daughters and I enjoyed playing pool volleyball, and some time in the hot tub. Breakfast was good. I always enjoy hotels with the waffle makers :) (and bring my own real maple syrup). Slept well. Staff was friendly/helpful. We did need to ask for another towel as 3 seems to be the standard even when you check in for 4 travelers."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Pella, IA

8/10 Good

"Pros: the hotel was very clean. The bed was very comfortable and the room was large and comfortable. The property was very quiet and close to everything you’d need in Pella. Not so pros: the bathroom was smaller than my closet, the faucet on the tub was very loose, the woman that checked us in could use a little more training. She seemed extremely confused and wasn’t sure how to check us in."
