Marcia
Nice location for our conference.
Karen
Good location - handy to our travel route & everything that we needed. Yet, it was quiet. There was plenty of parking. Everything was clean. The bed was comfortable. There was a good selection for breakfast. Our ONLY negative would be that the coffee in the lobby was cold.
Scott
Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast available: cereal, yogurt, waffles, eggs, biscuits and gravy, and various drinks. Indoor pool, but they keep the room hot. Easy access to rooms. Located near interstate. Beds were comfortable. Only one ice machine. No vending machines, but plenty of food options nearby. Room was clean, but found one bug over the three night stay. Could use some paint touch ups. Would stay again.
Avery
Room was well priced for 1 night. The pet fee was a little high but not as bad as some other hotels that charge $50 a night. All staff were very friendly. Got there at 8:45pm and fortunately the pool was open until 9:30pm, not 9pm, so we got to use it. The room was clean, quiet and well maintained. The hot breakfast was nice, not the biggest selection I've seen but still lots of food. The location near the highway was great and the surrounding area with other hotels and a walking path around a lake was great for walking our dog in the morning.
Scott
There were some signs of wear in the carpet and hallway walls. The breakfast selections were rather underwhelming.
Angela
Excellent location with easy access to interstate highways and major roads. Easy and free self-parking. Quite. Great water pressure and hot water.
The hotel is aged and in need a deep cleaning and a refresh. Public bathroom out of toilet paper and every tissue Box had one tissue. Breakfast was sparse.

Janeva
We were in town for State Baseball. The hotel didn’t have many amenities needed like a laundry unit somewhere. And it was late at night so I washed my kiddos ball pants in the tub and the front desk lady (bless her soul she was the only one checking people in/out , doing laundry , cleaning rooms , etc) she threw his ball pants in the dryer for us so my kiddo could have dry ball pants !! Hotel was quiet at night , the breakfast was really good , and we had a great time. Only suggestion would be update the air conditioning in the rooms.
Jason Royse
It was a good place but the bed is hard
Theresa
Room was clean and comfortable. Beds were great. A little noisy at times. Good selection of breakfast food. Tables were dirty though. Carpet needed to be replaced. Trip hazzard.
Monique
The smell in the lobby was overwhelmingly strong. The hallways were dirty. The toilet seat in our room was broken. The mattress pad was torn. We checked in and then checked out shortly after and the staff and Expedia would not offer a refund because the booking said non refundable. I would understand if I chose to leave just to leave, but under the circumstances I was disappointed how this was handled.
Irada
We stayed at Econo Lodge in room 228 for one night and the room has BED BUGS! Once we realised that , we contacted the hotel but the staff was not helpful at all. We were told that the rooms are clean and that we were supposed to let them know at the time of stay (which was 1 night in our case). I would not recommend staying at this hotel, especially in room 228.
michael
It was okay and basic lodging, I arrived around 1030pm and got a pet room after a long day on the road. The room was musty and smelled of urine, or had unresolved \"pet\" odors. I didn't speak up until early check out as I was too tired, asked the front desk to address the issue and their response was, \" the room doesn't smell\", \"it's a pet room and cleaned often\", and rebuffed my offer for them to go smell it themselves. The front desk person seemed agitated when I brought the subject up and stated I should've requested a different room, and their gaslighting of telling me I'm wrong was extremely unprofessional.
The general facility seemed okay for an Econo lodge and the parking lot was well lit.

Ronald
My experience was not a great one. I picked this hotel because of the reviews. The reviews said great clean comfortable hotel for the price. With a great breakfast with many good choices. My real experience was a very very rude woman at check-in. That even though the hotel had like 3 cars in the lot could not give me the king bed on my reservation. The bed was not at all comfortable, and the room was not dirty, but could have been a bit cleaner. Whatever, got up for breakfast and there was really not much, they did have waffles but no fruit not even an apple. In my opinion avoid unless everyone else is full. It is a step up from sleeping in your car.
Chuck
For the money one of my best stays
Kacie
Clean room.
Eddie
A good stay but not many options to walk to a restaurant.
Lori
Room was clean. The shower leaked onto the floor. Must be an ongoing problem because the wall had some water damage . Other than that, it was clean and comfy, close to restaurants and easy to find off the highway.
Jason
This was an affordable and well-maintained hotel.
Robert
The beds are nearly impossible to get comfortable on and get much sleep. The swimming pool was just plain nasty. Lots of dead bugs and human hair all over. Not fit to swim in. My family would not even go in. I’ve swam in cleaner lakes. The breakfast was adequate. The rooms themselves seemed to be fairly clean, bedding was as well. I do understand it IS an economy Hotel, but, this was not even close to meeting expectations. I do not think we will be back.
Roger
The coffee in the room was terrible. Weak,weak, weak!
Chris
Love staying here. Staff is incredibly friendly and quiet atmosphere.
Joy
There was a big huge spider in our room and rodent boxes in the stairwells.
Tim
This property is very beat up and poorly maintained. Could be at least clean, but it’s not.
Mark
Inexpensive, clean and comfortable room with breakfast and an indoor pool (which I did not visit). Absolutely no issues and I would definitely stay there again!
chelsea
Draws had unknown substance in them and had to have staff come and clean them out. Room was a good size but not somewhere we would stay again. Staff was very friendly
Mark
This is an older hotel with many fixtures needing replacing. The bathroom mirror light needs a new fluorescent bulb or an LED upgrade. Two of the labs three did not work. 5he sink drain and trap need cleaning. How gross to have drain water back up while washing your face or brushing one's teeth.
Melissa
There was a tornado not far from hotel & there was no place to shelter. Other than that it was a nice clean newly remodeled motel
Lisa
Good for the price
Timoth
Because luke Combs was playing in a town 10 miles away every hotel in the area jacked there prices up witch i understand but if a 70 dollar a night hotel raises prices to 200.00 an night yiu would expect that they would put on a cleaning staff. NOT econo lodge in Ankeny Iowa. Dirty rooms torn up beding and bugs. Stay away unless you like that kina room
Nikkol
Staff was very nice and helpful. Room was clean.
Cheri
For the price this is really a good place to stay. Could use some paint here and there but overall I would stay again.
jeffrey
Basic room was clean. Beds we're extremely uncomfortable and my husband and i didn’t get any sleep
Alicia
Dirty room, stairwells
Brad
The pool was filthy, the Internet was slow and required a daily sign in, and the microwave was loud and sounded like it would explode when using it while it emitted a disgusting chemically smell.
Michael
Old, not very clean. Shower leaked. Property charges a pet fee which they don't advertise. They require the pet fee be on a separate charge, which is run through a different credit card terminal, which seems pretty sketchy. Many better choices in the area.
raymond
Check in was smooth. Breakfast was basic.
Nicole
Breakfast was not good.
There was a used bar of soap in the shower. So i question if it was cleaned.
Got in late, check in was quick. For a one night stay, literally sleep and leave it was fine. Especially for the price. Wouldn't stay for an extended amount of time though.

Paula
For a quick, one-night stay, it was fine. Room walls could have been a little cleaner. Some items, such as curtains and such were dated and/or broken. Bed was very comfortable. Shower was hot and had great pressure. Overall, I'd stay again for one night.
Carla
Clean, good condition, friendly, helpful staff. Nicest Econo Lodge we’ve ever stayed in.
Mostafa
Ok for the price
Adam
The staff is nice. I enjoy everyone of my stays at this hotel.
Courtney
We stayed over for one night here. The room was clean. The hotel is clearly older and could be updated but I can’t complain for the cheap price I paid. It was a good place to stay overnight. Breakfast wasn’t that great but again it was worth what we paid.
Tony
The heating unit in the room was very loud.... Like a truck was running in the room kind of loud. It was windy outside and the wind was blowing through the window seal like it would in a 100 year old house. Very disappoining!
Gabino
Good
Tori

Mary
Super friendly greeting at the front desk even though we didn't arrive until 1AM due to inclement weather! What a relief to have a room that was clean and comfortable!
tom
The pool was not available because of heater not working. I think that I got sick from the breakfast eggs that i had the next morning.
Peter
I feel like I'm in a Marriott or something. Very clean. Smells good. Cheerful person at the front desk.

Rooms need serious updating. Breakfast very unappealing.
Al
Don't plan on eating continental breakfast. Spent rhree nights and by 7am hot foods were empty. What was left not appealing. Rooms needed updating and marginally clean. Would not recommend unless on a budget.

Todd
It took her like three times to check me in she kept messing it up and then put me in a cheaper room than i paid for and had to be moved again once I was done with the front desk staff the stay was nice, a bit musty and feels like an older hotel
Shilpa
Breakfast area was really clean and organized.
Hassan
Clean room, and good services.
Janelle
Room was clean. 4 stars because the bed was super squeaky and extremely uncomfortable, but that's my opinion.
Charles
Yes. Friendly staff. Had to remind them of ground floor request. They were happy to oblige. The pool is cold so dress warm ha ha
Caroline
Everything was great.
Christine
I stayed here because Iowa State had a football game and I didnt want to pay inflated hotel prices while I visited my son. The room was clean, the bed was comfy, the hotel was convenient and quiet, the staff is nice. The hotel is in dire need of renovation but it is more cosmetic, but it is a lot to see.
Susan
This facility needs a few updates; bedside table had cracked veneer, some carpet stains in the hallway. Also, the powdered eggs,( scrambled egg mixture) was a bit grainy. Overall the room was clean, staff person was nice and welcoming. I would stay again.
T.
It was quite place
kathy
Parking was safe..The hotel smelled musty, room and walls were dirty behind main door was splattered stuff on walls..mold in bathroom and for 3 adults for 2 nights we got 2 towels and 2 hand towels and 2 wash cloths. I know i dont want to share a dirty wash cloth. 2nd day i asked for 3 towels go 2 so had to get anotherone. The room also had a musty smell also and window curtain was hanging down on 1 side. And no i will never stay again it was a last minute thing. People at desk were pleasant. Breakfast both days were same and no hot eggs.im not a McDonald's fan but the hotels was worse. I feel they should of paid me to stay there

Our stay was okay for the price. Needs some updating of worn carpet. Clearing of main areas was fair. Light in bathroom over the mirror did not work and no ice bucket in the room.

Chris
The staff makes this a great place to stay
The one downside was there are only two handicap parking places. Definitely the upside was the two lovely ladies that work the front desk. They were fun to talk to, laugh with and they showed concern for my daughter who was recovering from ankle surgery. Yes, the beds were comfortable. Yes the room felt safe and offered relaxation. But it is BECAUSE OF THEM I will consider staying here again. We had my other daughter's small dog staying with us. They loved on her and were excited ( along with a friend's daughter) to see her daily. Maple was also looking for them and was overjoyed to see them everytime we came down for a potty break. They were an excellent representation of how this hotel felt more like coming home, home to neighbors that made you feel welcome and included. Everytime we seen them they were cleaning or refreshing the place. Their dedication to service was marvelous. I know if Maple stays there again, she will be looking for their attention.

Check-in was simple but the staff was as not friendly. There was a slight musty odor to the room and not enough towels. There were also 3 black pubic hairs in the shower, I quickly removed them before my husband went in the bathroom. I never expect perfection but that is gross. The bed was ok for comfort, I liked the 5 pillows.

One of my room was not clean, and the other one they have bed bugs. So many things need to be fixed.

Health Hazzard doesn't begin to describe here
Disgusting hotel. The room was 85 degrees when I walked in. Immediately smelled of mildew. The sheets felt sticky. There was mold throughout the shower. The show was dripping wet like someone just finished bathing, there were fingernails on the carpet. The refrigerator was plugged into the lamp because they're was no outlets available. The walls has something brown and sticky caked on them. I went to Walmart and purchased cleaning supplies and air freshener because I was told there was no rooms to be had due to the state fair was going on and I was there for a funeral so proximity was key.

Would stay here again

buddhist presence
Christians should know that buddha is represented at the front desk and sounded like eastern prayer music coming from the office. I am not saying ownership/staff don't have a right to express their religious ideals, only that Christians should know that buddhist influence is apparent. Room was a bit musty smelling. Otherwise a decent experience.

It was a good hotel for a short stay before getting up early to head to the Iowa State Fair to show. Accommodated our dog, was definitely a no-frills economy option.
Trudy
It was just okay
While I didn’t eat from the breakfast, there was no coffee, the AC ran constantly and didn’t cool the room much, the back door didn’t lock so anyone could come inside at any hour. The room was good, minus the AC.

This hotel has a lot of cosmetic things that need to be replaced. In bad shaped at every corner we turned
Sarah
The rooms were pretty dirty. Stains on the walls, we found a bug in our bed, hair in the tub etc. overpriced for the state the hotel is in. I wouldn’t eat the breakfast food because everything was so dirty. Nice staff but that was about the only positive thing I have to say sadly.
Amara
They changed the check-in age policy apparently the day before my stay so i was forced to sleep in my car in west desmoines.
