What happened??
I had stayed five years ago at the Econolodge near the Iowa State Fair Grounds. It was a nice place at low cost. I stayed there during a recent trip and was disappointed in how rundown the facility was. Staff were not professional and had no professional appearance. There was a rusty old van in the parking lot and a mattress on the ground by the dumpster. Juice at the breakfast area was colored water.
