Downtown Grinnell
Grinnell's downtown area is bursting with charm and culture. The recently opened Hotel Grinnell is a perfect example of what this neighborhood has to offer.

The best part of the hotel is that it's pet-friendly! Not only is your dog welcome to stay with you, you can get pet treats and borrow bowls at the front desk. Hotel Grinnell is only a block away from Central Park, a four-acre park with playground spaces, lawns, and a large shelter where many seasonal events are held. You will need to keep your pup on a leash and bring your own waste bags and water.36
