Top Central Park Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn & Suites Grinnell near I-80

8/10 Good

"courteous staff"

Cobblestone Inn & Suites - Newton

10/10 Excellent

"We booked the Cobblestone at the last minute and were very pleasantly surprised! The hotel and our room were extremely clean, and the room was much more spacious than we expected. The mattress was AMAZING—probably one of the most comfortable hotel beds we’ve slept in! Breakfast was good as well and was a nice way to start the day. Overall, a great last-minute find and a very comfortable stay. We would definitely stay here again!"

Super 8 by Wyndham Toledo

10/10 Excellent

"The only thing that I will say is they could lower the beds about 2 inches and raise the toilets at least 4 inches. We love this place and those 2 things are just a slight inconvenience, but if you are short, you may want a step stool to get on the bed."

Quality Inn Newton at I-80

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and recently remodeled. The bed was comfortable and there were plenty of pillows. The staff was friendly and provided a quick check in and quick checkout. They were adequate items available on the breakfast."
