Got to our room and opened the window shade. Directly looking into the McDonalds Drive Thru window and - they were directly looking into our room. Asked the snooty clerk to change the room and she refused. more

While the staff was fine, everything else was awful. After finding bugs on the bedspread, we switched rooms. That room was even smaller and the clock didn't work. Rooms were outdated and the walls were thin. Do not stay here! more

Effort shows here. We drove slightly out of our way to stay at this property because it received high reviews for cleanliness. While it is not the cleanest hotel I’ve ever seen, it was cleaner than the average hotel and cleaner than the Renaissance Savery a few miles away. Their efforts do not stop at cleanliness. If you eat “free... more

We decided to visit Adventureland for our short family vacation. We wanted something just a little bit away from the amusement park but just close enough. We picked the EconoLodge at the Fairgrounds because mainly the price. We wasn't really expecting alot, come on it's an EnconoLodge right? We were pleasantly surprised. When we first arrived we was greeted by... more

We stayed for 1 night in a 1 room suite, and would agree with the recent great reviews. Clean and comfortable room, great bed and A/C, neat and spotless grounds, nice continental breakfast. We were traveling with a dog and were made to feel welcome. This hotel is much nicer than we expected from an economy chain and we would... more

We stayed at the Econo Lodge Fairgrounds Hotel in Des Moines and I expected an average place, but was pleasantly surprised to find a much nicer place than I expected. Great breakfast, great rooms, and is is all pretty new. The only downside was the small parking lot which gets overfilled when they are near occupancy. But there is on... more

Decided on EconoLodge after reading other reviews....couldn't be happier. Probably the nicest EconoLodge I've ever seen, let alone stayed in. The property seems nearly brand new. Don't get me wrong, the room is overall small, and simple (cheaper furniture, fixtures, etc), but it's all nearly new, so it is still in excellent condition, and it's at EconoLodge prices. Parking lot... more

I wanted to stay at this hotel and called several months prior to my booking! To my suprise, the cheapest room was $179.00 plus tax!!!! (Aug 7-17) I think that is taking advantage of people when you have an event and you triple your prices! This is NOT the crown plaza and does not deserve a price hike like that! more

After reading previous good reveiws of this property we spent one night while traveling through Des Moines. The hotel is clean, very new and in immaculate condition. It's relatively easy to get to from I-80 but the exit from I-235 is rather odd; access an online map for details before arriving. We arrived approximately 11PM after seeing an Iowa Cubs... more

For a business hotel, this was a great place to stay with my family. Nice clean room, clean lobby, and friendly hotel staff. Pool and whirlpool were very clean. Pool was for registered guest only. Have to have key card to go in. This is much nicer than hotels that sell pool passes. Being an economy hotel, it does not... more
