Verified Reviews of Econo Lodge Inn & Suites (Fairgrounds)
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:"Affordable Stay"
Overall Score3.0/ 5
Overall the room was quite clean, but it was small and the beds were uncomfortable. The breakfast choices were limited to waffles, cold cereals, donuts, breads, muffins, yogurt, juices and coffee. There was some kind of microwaveable egg omelette. The location of the hotel was not in the ideal location, but for the price it was okay.

Testimonials: Why use Hotel Planner?
"Our group has done this weekend away for 10+ years always in the Napa/Sonoma area in the Spring. For the past 3 years we have stayed at the same location in Sonoma. This year I used your site to try to find a different and more reasonably priced location. Not only did I find a fantastic hotel in a great new location, I save $100 per night over last year's room fee." J.F. - San Francisco, CA
