Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Fairgrounds

It wasn't a bad stay. The rooms could've been a little cleaner in the bathrooms, but the beds were super comfortable. The pool and hot tub was nice, until a bunch of kids decided to dump bubbles into the hot tub. Their parents also just watched them do it, and said "oh well".

I had stayed five years ago at the Econolodge near the Iowa State Fair Grounds. It was a nice place at low cost. I stayed there during a recent trip and was disappointed in how rundown the facility was. Staff were not professional and had no professional appearance. There was a rusty old van in the parking lot and a mattress on the ground by the dumpster. Juice at the breakfast area was colored water.

Very comfortable hotel for the price, lodger the econo cat alwas a treat to see. Front desk check in was very friendly and entertaining. Will definitely be staying there again if we are in the area

Good breakfast for a budget stay. Clean but older facility. Surprised to hear noisy trucks and motorcycle during the night.

Liked the location, staff was freindly. Fire alarm rang for 30 minuted in the middle of the night

It’s a non-smoking hotel but the rooms week of smoke. Hotel is old and rundown and not well cared for anymore. There were people hanging out in the hallways. Cleanliness is not well-maintained throughout the hotel. Elevator is old and creaky. Did not feel safe outside in the parking lot. There were only two good things about the hotel – its location to where I needed to go was convenient. And they had a cat that they take care of right outside the front entrance of the hotel. The cat looks to be well taken care of, the staff care about him. I would not stay at this hotel again.

I really liked staying here. I felt safe and the staff were really nice and helpful. The housekeeper’s were really nice and accommodating and I loved that it serves breakfast every morning definitely a plus. Some things in the hotel are a little outdated but worth the price I paid to stay. The best thing I can say is that the staff made it a friendly welcoming experience.

People in the hallway outside my room making a lot of noise, fight in the parking lot, just very noisy and I couldn’t sleep. Staff not very accommodating. I won’t stay here again.

I was disappointed as the wet area was closed ( pool & hot tub ) that was actually the complete purpose for my stay but oh well !
