Reviews of Quality Inn Fort Dodge describe an older, budget-friendly hotel with mixed experiences: some guests found clean, comfortable rooms and helpful staff, while others encountered worn interiors, noise, and occasional issues across rooms and common areas.
Pools and hot tubs are inconsistent, with several reports of closures, cold water, or missing towels, while the sauna and fitness room often need attention; an on-site bar/restaurant earns several positives, and there is no elevator to upper floors. Breakfast is frequently praised for variety and early availability, though some guests noted delays or limited options. Rooms show varied comfort and condition, including TV and HVAC troubles, hard or worn beds for some, and light or noise disturbances in certain areas. Overall, expect a budget stay with variable amenities and service.

I was very disappointed by my stay-to the point that we checked out a night early & found a different hotel for our second night in town. We reserved the hotel for my son's birthday. The lady the checked us in was friendly enough, but did not mention that the pool & hot tub were not open(one of the biggest reasons we chose this hotel). Even after I said something about the pool & hot tub, she did not mention it. My kids were very disappointed when we went to go down there after dinner. Then, as we were getting ready for bed, we started noticing yellow stains on the bedding. We checked out the next morning. Overall, pretty disappointed with how our stay went.

The property is is older and in need of updating. I was upset that the pool and hot tub were not available. Not only that, but not mentioned by the desk staff or mentioned on the website either. This is the second time this has happened, really just need to call all properties before going I guess. Honesty, upfront would be nice.

Hotel desk clerk was great but thats where it ended. The doors didnt open with key card to get into hotel. The halls were freezing. The hot tub was not working there sauna was not working. The pool area was dirty cold and had aunts. There were no pool towels. The bathroom in pool area was colder then outside. Breakfast was a half hour wait for them to fill anything. No butter no syrup most of the juices were out. when u asked the day shift guy for something seemed like u were asking for the moon he was very rude. Dont let the pictures fool you those were takin when it was first built. The property is run down and looks nothing like the pictures. Also no one will deliver to the hotel as its to far out they say.

The staff was very quick to help when we needed new sheets and trash bags. The cleaning lady stopped by multiple times asking if we needed anything. The pool was a relaxing temperature. Breakfast was ready and hot at 5 am. My only two complaints were about the ice hold hot tub and lack of gym equipment. Some of it didn’t work or didn’t work well. Apart from those which went much of an issue our stay was pleasant and we will definitely chose this hotel for our next visit.

This is an old hotel with a few modern updates. Our room was clean and the staff were helpful and friendly. I booked the hotel for a family overnight trip and wanted the pool, hot tub, and sauna to have some relaxation time. The pool and hot tub were great, but the sauna was not working (and the floor was dirty but I heard a parent say that some kids were messing around in there earlier, so it could have been that instead of the hotel staff’s oversight). The pool deck needs resurfacing as there are loose stones and divots. They were out of towels, but it was 9-10 pm when we were there, so we asked at the front desk and they happily gave us some pool towels. The breakfast was hot and fully stocked and the lady working there was very gracious and cheerful. Overall, it was satisfactory to what we expected for being an older hotel and the service was excellent.

I will attempt to be kind…. This is not a very good hotel. We had a 4 night stay planned. We only stayed one night; and then moved to a different hotel. To be fair, the room was pretty clean. But the smoke detector was was missing, a lamp shade was broken, the AC didn’t work great. And inside the hotel was just bad. The hallways looked like they hadn’t been vacuumed in months. Trash laying around both inside and out. It just seems like a really junky place to stay. We moved to another hotel in similar price range that was MUCH better! We were pleased with other hotel, so we are not just bitter about this hotel

Upon arrival, the lady at the front desk messed up the 5 room reservations, which were to be paid individually. She gave each guessed the wrong amount to reimburse me since she charged all the rooms to my card. Everyone Venmo me money, but upon looking at my credit card receipt, she had charged approximately $20 more per room than she stated at the desk. One of the five rooms, had soiled, unwashed sheets that looked like someone had vomited in the bed. We went down to complain to the the person at the front desk, and they simply ask us if we wanted a fresh set of sheets. Did not offer a new room. On our way home from vacation, I reached out to the hotel via the Expedia app for which the rooms were booked. I have yet to hear anything back from. I was requesting a refund for the one particular room with these soiled sheets. I would not recommend staying at this hotel.

The room was dirty (stained bedding, toilet, tub) the building had broken exterior glass on the doors, and tape on the door push bars, ripped window screens, air coming in the window at 32 degrees, and it smelled dirty. I did not feel safe so we left.

At check-in, we were double booked for the same room with another couple who arrived at the same time. The front desk corrected this, but we had booked a King bed and got two doubles instead. Not happy, but too tired to argue. Also - no tissues and the beds were rock hard so we didn't sleep well. We won't use that hotel again. Sorry.

Most was ok EXCEPT the beds. I go there to sleep. Both beds in room were hard as boards, and lumpy. My back was so sore the next morning. They were kind enough to give me room with door to outside to potty my dog, but the door lock was busted. Finally got it open, then couldn’t get it shut. My understanding is service dogs should not be charges- guy at desk would not give. I understand deposit to confirm no damage, but ultimately no extra charge. For the price I paid would have paid more to sleep comfortably. But, your there, gonna get billed anyway, what choice do you have?

Unfortunately, the room we were in, the AC was broke and flooded the floor. But the hotel desk associate found us another room. I did want to swim in the hot tub, but the water heater was out. But that wasn't the staff's fault.

Got a room for a friend but when they showed up they wanted $150 deposit for incidentals. I had called earlier to check on incidental charge cause they did not have a credit card and only had minimal cash on hand, was told the deposit was $25. They did not have $150 in cash so they could not get the room that I had already paid for and it was non refundable

Signage on the building was limited, so we were initially uncertain if we were at the right entrance. Our room was updated and clean. Our toilet flushed slowly. Breakfast was more than adequate in a fairly large space.

Hotel desk clerk was great but thats where it ended. The doors didnt open with key card to get into hotel. The halls were freezing. The hot tub was not working there sauna was not working. The pool area was dirty cold and had aunts. There were no pool towels. The bathroom in pool area was colder then outside. Breakfast was a half hour wait for them to fill anything. No butter no syrup most of the juices were out. when u asked the day shift guy for something seemed like u were asking for the moon he was very rude. Dont let the pictures fool you those were takin when it was first built. The property is run down and looks nothing like the pictures. Also no one will deliver to the hotel as its to far out they say.

Decent hotel for a night or two. Only real negative is no restaurants in the area, you had to drive 5-10 minutes to one.

Hotel was nice, staff was excellent, and food was great. However, I didn't feel it was in a safe area and there were no conveniences within walking distance.

The owner was kind and courteous and I think he takes pride in this hotel. The breakfast was wonderful. The room was clean and quiet. Our stay was much more Pleasant than we have experienced in a very long time in a budget hotel.

Great breakfast. Room was clean and tidy. Staff was very kind. Pool area could use some TLC. Broken loungers and lack of seating in general. Exhaust system for temp control could use some attention to.

My husband stayed and overall his pleased with his satisfactory. He told me the person at the check-in desk barely spoke English and there was a child behind the counter with him. His biggest complaint was that there was no breakfast available until after 7:00am on Saturday morning. He had to check out before then since he had a 4-H training to be at by 7:00am.

This is an old hotel with a few modern updates. Our room was clean and the staff were helpful and friendly. I booked the hotel for a family overnight trip and wanted the pool, hot tub, and sauna to have some relaxation time. The pool and hot tub were great, but the sauna was not working (and the floor was dirty but I heard a parent say that some kids were messing around in there earlier, so it could have been that instead of the hotel staff’s oversight). The pool deck needs resurfacing as there are loose stones and divots. They were out of towels, but it was 9-10 pm when we were there, so we asked at the front desk and they happily gave us some pool towels. The breakfast was hot and fully stocked and the lady working there was very gracious and cheerful. Overall, it was satisfactory to what we expected for being an older hotel and the service was excellent.

Rooms have been modernized a bit and are clean and quiet. Bed is comfortable. The front desk staff were great and very helpful. The windows in the rooms are dated and need a good clean but overall really happy with the stay. The included breakfast was very good day to day and was consistently warm. The Mexican restaurant attached to the property was also wonderful, attentive staff and large portions. If I ever get back to Fort Dodge, I would stay here again

A little outdated but our room was clean. The double bed mattresses were both very uncomfortable. One was very hard while the other was softer but you could feel the springs in your back. We had friends in another room and they said their mattresses were also uncomfortable.
