Overnight stay
Our room was clean and spacious. The bed was very comfortable. It was all that we could want for an overnight start.
Debra, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

No frills basic stay
No frills stay, you definitely get what you pay for. I appreciated that there was a microwave and a fridge in the room.
DiAnna, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room could use some cosmetic updating, but it was very clean and comfortable. It was one of the lowest priced rooms in the area, and as a one-night stop-over I couldn't be happier given the price. The area felt safe, and the staff was great - helpful with dinner recommendations, very friendly. Would definitely stay again if passing through the area.
Mark, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This was for my son and granddaughter for a night. My son said it was a nice cozy little room.
Joanne, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Floors were very filthy. However, on the last week of our stay we had a fire. Now it has been a week and still have not received our refund because they could not give us a room with 2 queen beds.
Channon, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall the room was clean, the bathroom was small, the beds were firm. Breakfast was okay yet they didn't have any hot water for the tea or oatmeal and the microwave was unplug.

Eric, 1-night trip

Worst experience ever.
No working heater so they used a portable space heater instead.
1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Property is in a convenient area, easily accessible. The condition of the rooms is very poor. The furniture, sheets and towels were all stained. The toilet seat was damaged and the shower handle was very loose, so it took a lot of time to calibrate the temperature of the shower. The room was over all depressing to be in.
Mary Ellen, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

separate buildings , very messy
james, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Definitely was not expecting the hotel to look different then the pictures. The pool was not open for memorial weekend. We were afraid to see what the breakfast was like that they served because they hotel was so run round. But it was not to bad of a place to stay for a cheap room.
Beth, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

It was so bad i turned in my key 3 min after being there and found a different hotel
Mikaela, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

New chairs
Need new furniture the chair in the room had that smoke smell probably from when the rooms used to be smoking other than that everything was good
William, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This is the worst property I have ever seen. Checked in looked at our room and left and found another hotel. Felt very unsafe.
Jill, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The room smelled. Outdated furniture and toilet
Steve, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Staff were nice but the room was filthy. Stains and scum all over the grimy tub, old towels from previous guest hanging on the bar, dust all over the tv stand. Not only is the property in need of major renovations, the staff and or owners certainly don’t care about cleanliness. Tv also didn’t work
Theresa, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The Urbandale Econolodge is just fine. You get what you pay for. It isn't the best kept up property, but I never felt that it was unsafe or unsanitary. If you want a better quality stay, you need to be willing to pay a higher rate.
Adrienne, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Sad stay
Bedding had cigarette burns all over, floors dirty, and no hot water…. Trash all over the grounds
