Great place for a weekend in Grinnell.
Pros:

Nice facility, have stayed here several times after trying other motels. I believe it is the best one in Grinnell. No elevator if that matters, but only two floors. Nice breakfast (includes scrambled eggs and sausage), windows that open onto an open view. Pleasant place.
