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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

We had trouble with the check in. We got the wrong key and opened the door of a room with people in it. Next room we got, the bath light above the sink was out and the remote was gone. we finally got a room. The floor had sticky spots. We think someone spilled pop. So the floor was dirty! We stayed in this room because we had to be somewhere in 15 min.

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.
