Top hotels in Fairground
Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Des Moines Fairgrounds Area
Was not aware the facility was under construction. Entire room smelled terribly of paint. Every noise can be heard, parking was fine, staff was polite, was able to check in early. Pool closed at 8:30, which to me is really early compared to most hotels so we didn’t get to use that.
