Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Des Moines - Merle Hay Rd

Cheap, decent, clean enough for what you pay.

Pillows were soft, room was clean. Directv is convenient.

The bed was stiff as a board. I like firm beds, but those mattresses were like planks.

I needed a place to stay in my move across the country. I was pulling a trailer and had a good estimate of timing for when to stop to rest for the night but got behind schedule. I called around 5pm in hopes of being able to switch my stay to somewhere earlier along my drive but could not because I had booked online. I then let the staff know I would not be in until about 3am. Apparently no record of this phone call was written down or communicated to the person working the desk because once I finally arrived at 3:45am, they had already marked me as a no show and did not want to let me in my room. After some convincing, I got my key to finally get some rest so I could take off to continue my drive again the next day.
