Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Fairgrounds

The sheets and blankets were all stained floors were not clean. Pool was ok. Weren’t there long. Breakfast was alright. Maid was nice. There was bug looking eggs in bed.

I asked the desk to make the safe in my room accessible, never happened. The hair dryer did not work due to the outlet it was plugged into not resetting the gfi not possible. There was an ironing board but no iron. They had a ridiculous rule you can't take what lack luster offerings they had for breakfast to your guest room. By lack luster i mean old apples, orange juice machine empty, no bagels, donuts, just 2 basic dry cereal options or a waffle machine. Checking in was a nightmare. People were slamming doors constantly throughout the night. The room was clean and looks like they were painting the interior of the place. This was a one and done for me.

The building is being remodeled so things are a bit disheveled. My chief dislike involved noise. My room was faced the street and road noise required running the fan continuously to blot it out. There was also something going on above me that resulted in many thumps and bumps starting at 10:30pm and lasting until after 12:30am. The night manager was ineffective in dealing with it.

The hallway was being painted. The pool is in poor condition. The hot tub pictured is not available at all. Not sure how they possibly host people for the Iowa State fair, their breakfast dining area is only made for 12 people. The sheets were stained. Pictures online are not a match to what we experienced. It made due for 1 night but seemed like we have had better experiences before spending $100 on a room before.

Room not clean! Smelled like smoke. Hair on bathroom floor and in shower. Only one small lamp worked so room was dark. Only plus was the front desk people were friendly. I got there late and weather was bad or I would of asked for my money back

Nothing fancy, but the room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. The staff was friendly. I'd stay here again,

Everything was fine, just not anything special. Room was clean. Staff was okay, didn't feel like the kind of reception I have gotten elsewhere.

Something rancid was left on the sheets before I arrived and was never cleaned or replaced.

The bathroom needs help. The light in the ceiling was like a strobe light and the toilet needed shims, so it didn't rock back and forth. Otherwise, a reasonable place to stay!
