Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Fairgrounds

Everything was great except when I was checking in and the desk guy said I was declined but then gave me the 3 room cards and said he would figure it out. It was a little embarrassing especially after I got an email saying enjoy your stay.

Parking was convenient, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. They even went the extra mile to ensure I was placed on the first floor, as I needed to use my walker. The room itself was clean; however, the door’s safety lock was broken, and the shower diverter would not engage properly. As a result, the water pressure during the shower was poor, with water continuing to flow from the spout.

Room was clean. Beds comfy. Hotel outdated. Room was very overpriced. Guests above me would running and jumping around after 10pm, and a dog 2 doors down from me would bark non-stop. Not the best experience.

Beds were not clean and not comfortable floors were dirty and the plugs in did not work well. Not worth 150.00 toilet was dirty as well.

Pool shut down. Lobby was dirty. Stored supplies right behind counter on wall like trash bags etc. Room had a stained couch, trim fell off wall. Walked out right away.

Was not aware the facility was under construction. Entire room smelled terribly of paint. Every noise can be heard, parking was fine, staff was polite, was able to check in early. Pool closed at 8:30, which to me is really early compared to most hotels so we didn’t get to use that.

The building is dilapidated. The pool has a sign closed for maintenance. The jacuzzi is permanently closed, the room for the pool was very cold. We got a room with a pull out couch. It was broken and un able to be pulled out. The heater/ac unit was very loud. The soundproofing beetween rooms was poor and the upstairs elephants were on parade most of the night. Our key cards were deactivated at 9am and staff were unable to issue us working cards for the remainder of our time. The kids were dissaponted and the adults did not sleep. Overall will not return.

Their breakfast is soooo good! I was really impressed. I thought there might be fruit and bagels, but they had sausage gravy and biscuits, a waffle maker, boiled eggs, fruit, yogurt, oatmeal, juices, milk, coffee! It was fantastic! Plus the price was great. Total BARGAIN and easy to get everywhere in DesMoines.

Dirty and cheap. You will hear everything through the walls and gap in the door. No hot tub. Food left in refrigerator from who knows when. Floors were dirty. Only reason I didn’t give one star was because the shower was good for washing the grimy feeling off.
