Verified reviews of Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Fairgrounds

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked in recently:
"Tolerated because of convenience."
Overall score2.0/ 5
This hotel is so convenient being just outside of the fairgrounds but it has seen better days. Dirty carpets holes in drywall and bathtub. The person that checked me in was super nice but the others rude. This place could be a gold mine being so close to the fairgrounds but it's neglect is the reason I wouldn't stay again.
