Econo Lodge Ankeny – Des Moines

The hotel was the best value in the area for a last minute busy weekend booking. The staff were courteous. The breakfast was standard two star fare. Parking was easy. The room met my expectations for minimum cleanliness and comfort. There were no funny smells. There was a desk/chair as well as a small easy chair.

We enjoyed our stay very much. It was quiet and clean. Other things we noticed that were nice, the hot water was hot and the cold water was cold, uniquely furnished not your typical modular furniture, elevator, everything worked and was in good condition, service when needed was prompt and with a smile.

We were not able to stay for breakfast. The room was very comfortable & the number of lights made it easy to have as much, or as little, as you wanted. For the amount of time we were there, it was perfect.

The hotel was beautiful, however, there was 2 busloads of teen boys that stayed there also. They were on obnoxiously loud and even had a fight in the hallway. It felt like they were jumping in the room.

The breakfast was wonderful, food was hot and plentiful. The location of the hotel was convenient to the freeway and nearby shops and restaurants. The hotel was very clean and well maintained.
