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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
