Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Fairgrounds Des Moines - 得梅因

We usually get to Des Moines a couple times a year and will always plan to look at this location first.

The hotel staff was nice, the rooms were very clean (they had white comforters on the bed).

It had the nice new linens, not the old bed spreads.

He stated that the standard rooms didn't have a fridge or micro as we'd asked but noted that since we're Choice Privileges members he'd give us a free upgrade to a suite that did have a refrigerator.

I stayed in a room with two double beds, it was cozy having 2 large dog crates in the room, but still could move around.

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.

Housekeeping was friendly and the breakfast good.

Parking lot seems to fill up after 8pm, but for price, free WiFi, and breakfast in morning, this property can't be beat.

Breakfast they had waffles, B&G, good coffee and juice, cereal and friuts.

The area is not the greatest but there are several fast food joints and a Quiktrip up the street.

Friendly hotel staff and excellent customer service.

The pool area was spotless and the hotel staff was nice.

Despite our rather late arrival we were greeted courteously and the manager (who happened to be working the desk at the time) had our reservation printed out and keys all ready before we showed up.

Finally, for what its worth, I was checked in by the manager, and he seemed friendly and professional.

The only downside was the small parking lot which gets overfilled when they are near occupancy.

But there is on street parking in the neighborhood for overflow.

The pool was nice and we were the only ones using it for most of the time.

The price was the most reasonable in the area and the rooms were very clean.

Clean and comfortable room, great breakfast.

Clean lobby, great rooms and the breakfast good.

The pool area was spotless and open, although the hot tub was a couple degrees cooler than desired.

Nice clean room, clean lobby, and friendly hotel staff.
