Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Des Moines Fairgrounds Area

Conveniently across from the fairgrounds

The service and accomadations were excellent. The parking was poor.

Parking

Very decent pricing for all the amenities offered. Clean, comfortable bed and pillows, great showers, the staff on every shift was very polite and accommodating.

No complaints at all..

Nothing

Staff was rude. The whole facility smelt like weed and cigarettes mixed with cat piss n dog piss , there was dead bugs on my bed. The fridge wouldn't work. The door wouldn't lock the beds felt like cardboard. There was cigarette butts On top of the fire hydrant not safe for kids to be there as they is bags of open drywall and cement.Just waiting for a kid to get intoit .There was no hot tubas it was boarded up by 2 by4 or a pallet.The pool was disgusting.There was construction everywhere , which wasn't stated when I picked out my room not. To mention the bottles of raid that they just keep out in the open till everyone knows that they're bugging fested

The breakfast was plentiful. The new paint made it feel so new and clean. I was very happy with the room we picked on the first floor. The pool was good. Beds were very comfortable! Overall had a decent time. Would come back.

The hot tub was boarded up. There was very little parking spaces at nighttime. The back door needs an ashtray/trashcan.

always enjoy our stay, weather it is for horses or races, we always choose to stay because the convinces and spacious rooms. and good breakfast

the rates go up in the summer when we stay compared to the winter months.

Location great

Nothing at all I paid for the room online and when I got there they wanted a deposit that I did not know about so the trim was paid but I couldn’t stay because the deposit

Everything

n/a

Honestly nothing other than the location..

Room was extremely dirty upon entering. I had to bring in my own Clorox wipes and wipe down all the surfaces, also toilet was gross. Some of the surfaces had some sort of residue on them. There were also ants in the sink upon arrival, in bathroom and we caught one crawling on us in bed too. The toilet was also dirty, and the tv was not working properly. The deadbolt on the door is none existent, looks like someone tried to put a new one up but didn’t succeed so left it without. The doors in the room were disgustingly dirty, like they have never been cleaned. The tiles in the bathroom are broken and cracked so we had to put down a hotel so we didn’t cut our feet as they were sharp. Hall ways smelled of marijuana on arrival along with cat pee the last night we came back to the hotel to stay. Overall not a good experience. And for $235 dollar for two night is crazy with the experience we have had.
