The hotel was very clean and large for the money. However, the morning breakfast was lacking. If you are not up and eating in early morning they will ran out of food and not replace it. They close at 9 am and I arrived at 8:30 am. Several items were gone and they refuse to replace them. First come first served.

Excellent place to stay in Des Moines

  • Onix Dave
  • Sep 17, 2011
Only one problem here: the telephone didn't work in the bedroom, making wakeup calls less than ideal. Also, I don't like having to pay extra for internet acces--it should be built into the price and available for all. However, everything else was just as it should be: good breakfast, drinks & snacks in the evening, and a comfortable room & shower with all the necessary hotel amenities. I will be back.

I stayed there with some girlfriends for my bachelorette party and it was fantastic. The rooms were big and we loved the free happy hour. We also used the hotel's shuttle to be dropped off at the bars in downtown Des Moines and only had to wait 10 minutes. We also took part in the complimentary breakfast in the morning that really hit the spot.

Fantastic!

  • Jul 18, 2011
We stayed in a pool side room with 1 adult and 4 children ranging from 3 to 17. I was a little worried due to how inexpensive it was but it was very clean and roomy. The bathrooms were spotless. And the water park area was fantastic! The slides and pirate ship kept all 4 of the kids busy for hours. It was only 10 minutes from AdventureLand but 1/2 the cost of the closer hotels and so much, much better (speaking from experience)

Will Not Hesitate to Ever Stay Again!!

  • Jun 27, 2011
We looked for hotels near Summer Jam @ Water Works Park. Price was right here as well as the distance. Plenty of restaurants and shopping near by. Our hesitation was it was right across from the airport. Not a big worry at all. Stayed 2 nights and only heard 1 plane. Several baseball teams were there for tournaments, but hardly knew they were there. No need to look further. Clean and plenty of space in our King bed room.

Noisy!

  • Iowa Lover
  • Sep 24, 2011
The location is very noisy. Located at corner of busy major road and freeway. Major construction noise from across street. A/C kept going out and bathroom had urine smell. Good side - maid service great and staff very pleasant. Wouldn't stay there again though.

An Awesome Stay!

  • Jul 2, 2011
I was in DES Moines for a baseball game. This hotel was an absolute delight. The best I have ever enjoyed. Wish I could have stayed a month! Room was immaculate... Modern design... Very comfortable chairs and bed... Just perfect. The breakfast was a huge surprise... Not donuts and juice, like most places... Quiche in a hotel breakfast bar? Just awesome! Staff were great. Wish I were there tonight!

Good value in Des Moines

  • First Time in Iowa
  • Nov 7, 2010
Hotel staff were nice; especially the hotel shuttle driver who picked me up from the airport. Very accomodating and helpful to a first timer to Iowa. Very helpful information guides, and guest services directory. Business center was nothing to brag about but functionally it was just fine. Hotel isn't too far a walk or drive from the 'main' downtown area but be warned that there isn't much commerce around the hotel itself. Hotel room itself was nice but bed wasn't too comfortable; but if you prefer a harder bed then it might be your thing. Could have just been my room but what I know is that my back wasn't feeling too good in the morning. (I traveled to another city in Iowa the next day and I didnt have this problem with the hotel I stayed in...there IS a difference!) Overall, depending on what you are coming to Des Moines for, its not exactly the Shangri La but this is a great value for/ near the downtown area.

Nice, clean hotel. Friendly staff. Good restaurant, though a little on the pricey side. Need a car- hotel is surrounded by a field. Bare bones workout room, but nice pool and hot tub. Overall, nice pleasant stay. This hotel was on the upper end for the price. From what I saw, I could have been in a less expensive hotel that is a dive or one that is nicer, but $100 more a night.

The lobby is under construction. The picture is very misleading. It is actually drab, cold, and bare. I almost didn't recognize the front desk. Breakfast was also disappointing - hoping for salmon, got cold scrambled eggs. The room was spacious and wonderful. We got a free upgrade. Service was wonderful. Sky walk to restaurants was perfect

My review of Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Fairgrounds

  • Debra
  • Sep 13, 2007
This is a brand new hotel, very clean as it should be. The vanity is small but seperate from the bathroom. You will have to go through the T.V. chanels and write them down as there is not a station list in the room. They were short on staff but even after long hours the staff was still very friendly and helpful. The only thing I can complain about is I was there on business and they gave me a handicap room which I did not ask for. Handicap rooms do not have a desk or table therefore I had to try to do work on the bed which was very uncomfortable. In the future I will be sure to request not to have this type of room. There are fast food near by on University Ave,nice restraunts a couple of miles from the hotel, convience store down the street for your gas and snacks,and a Cigarette Outlet around the corner for all of your adult drinking supplies. The fair grounds are right across the street, the Casino, race track and Adventure Land amusement are just a few miles away. I will be staying in this hotel again for business but would also stay for pleasure.

  • nikonichi
  • Jun 28, 2010
The only negative was the hotel's location combined with Des Moines marginal public transportation system. A six-block street closure shortened one bus route by over 70%. In other cities the bus would have been rerouted around the closed streets.

Decent room, tough location

  • Anthony
  • Sep 19, 2007
Quality Inn was a good value for the money; the rooms were a nice size, friendly staff, smooth check in. I know it's a little thing, but they had decent vending options for a late-night check in like me. It wasn't spotless, but not overly dirty. The hardest part was getting to the entrance with all the one-ways in the area, but all of Des Moines downtown is like that and I've spent ten minutes getting to other places there, too. Still, a larger, clearer entrance sign, and maybe some signage on the surrounding streets, might help.

Great Place for Drake Parents

  • Artemis11
  • Aug 19, 2011
We now make a habit of staying here when visiting our children at Drake University. We were there yesterday dropping off our youngest and will be back in September for parents' weekend. We had a great room with terrific service and free breakfast on top of it. If you have a child at Drake, this is the best value in Des Moines! Trust me, we've tried most of the others!

Good hotel for the money.

  • NursingMickey
  • Nov 7, 2011
There was nothing fancy about this hotel, but a very fair price for the stay. We stayed at this motel while spending the weekend in Des Moines to do some Christmas shopping. We were not in the room for a lot of the time, but found it to meet our needs just fine. The hot tub was HOT and that is hard to find anymore. The front desk was friendly. The room and hallways were clean. Excellent water pressure in the shower. Breakfast was basic with waffles, cereal, fruit, and muffins. I would recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a clean room at an affordable rate.

Nice Stop on Family Vacaton

  • Deb
  • Jul 8, 2011
We arrived late at night, and check in went smoothly. Small parking lot in front of hotel, but more spaces behind the hotel. The one glaring problem was the elvator. We were on the 4th floor and only 1 of the 3 elevators was working. This was a bit of a pain as many people were leaving at the same time we were and we had to wait for the elevator and then when it opened up it was full of other travelers. We ended up only using the elevator for heavy suitcases and took the stairs for all other visits to the car.

Good Overnight Stay

  • Erika
  • Jun 14, 2010
The room was clean, the staff was friendly, and the stay was pretty much uneventful and quiet...just what I needed. My only complaint was that the shower faucet was difficult to operate and it seemed as though it was on the verge of breaking.

great weekend getaway

Second stay at this hotel, close walk to good restaurants in the Court district always felt safe even with very few people walking in the area. The staff are great, friendly and attentive. We did not use the spa but the breakfast was great, the chef used vegetables from his own garden for the omelets, nice touch. Don't miss the Farmers market Saturday morning better than most we have been to.
