What guests think

At Economy Inn Motel, travellers describe a budget, no frills stop with consistently clean rooms, friendly owners, quiet nights, and strong value, making it a convenient choice for an overnight stay near the interstate during road trips.

Rooms commonly include a fridge and microwave, Wi-Fi is reported as reliable, and the property is pet friendly; however, it’s an older motel with basic amenities and several reviews note there is no coffee provided.

We liked the price as we are on a cross country road trip and like to stay in motels where we can park close to the room for a quick overnight stay. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. And the refrigerator was very cold which a lot of places don’t offer. The only negative is they didn’t have coffee available in the room or the lobby.

no frills motel...no coffee, no hair dryer, one electric outlet in our room did not work, nor did the TV, hall outside the room could definetly use an update..but the room was clean, the bed was fine and nice, powerful shower, so if you're simply passing thru and need a place to sleep, it works.

Price was excellent. Bed was comfy. Shower was hot. Internet was good. Hotel was quite. Pretty much bare-bones. No coffee. Hotel is older and could use some upgrades. But overall, for the price paid, I was happy.

This is based on its price point. I just want a clean room and it was. It has a fridge and microwave. It was quiet and I slept well. Shower had good pressure and was got. There was a smell when we got there but was not noticeable after we were there for a bit. So if you have a sensitive smell, maybe not for you but I would stay again. I recommend it.

This motel is an excellent bargain for tavelers, especially business travelers. The rooms were super-clean and the staff is really kind. The bed was comfortable, the room was well-lit, the appliances & TV were in excellent condition, and the A/C-heat unit was well maintained. Best of all, the rooms were very quiet when it came to noise from neighbors. I hardly heard a thing! The bathroom and some cosmetic fixtures are a little dated, but that is minor and doesn't take away from the overall comfort of the bed and room. The reason I downgraded the area around the property to average is because this motel does not have a comfy greenspace for kids that I saw, and there are not a lot of family amenities. But if those are not family needs, it is still a nice place for families. And if you are a light sleeper such as I am, the occasional sound of a truck might be either soothing or alarming, so bring ear plugs to be safe. Overall, this motel is a wonderful bargain, especially for business travelers and adult travelers. I am definitely going to stay here again!

This is the 5 STAR of 2 star motels(I'm not sure what it actually ranks. It's not a high dollar motel)...but it IS a great motel. Well worth every penny you might spend . If I'm looking for a place to spend the night again West of Des Moines, I'll be going here!
