Featuring a heated indoor pool, hot tub, and dry sauna, this hotel is located just off Highway 5 and 16 km from downtown Des Moines. Free WiFi, parking, and airport shuttle service are provided.

Solid facility with well-trained and competent staff. Bonus that it is adjacent to headquarters of a respected truck line in DSM. [Yes, their trucker's behavior is noted at such facilities, and misbehavior is not acceptable. Company rules.] As a result, the symbiotic relationship benefits all. Including us who fill out the rooms available. Points added for refillable soap and consumables containers. Breakfast steward highly professional.

    Went to graduation at the Wells Fargo Arena.

    Went to graduation at the Wells Fargo Arena. The view of the bridge on the Riverwalk on the Des Moines River and dam lit up at night was awesome. So was the state capitol in the background. Felt very safe there. Biaggii's Italian Restaurant was superb. Our waiter Alan was very efficient and had a great memory for our size table. The Lobster Bisque, chocolate cake, mini sundaes, bread... everything. Just try it.

    This hotel is unfortunately one I would never use again.... My friends and I had planned a trip to see basketball we live in the UK. I made a mistake and put in the wrong Arena on Booking.com and this hotel came up. I booked two rooms and when we put in the zip code it was 1,000 miles away!!! I contacted booking.com literally 3 minutes after booking who contacted the hotel on my behalf and they refused to answer me or booking.com. I lost £270.00. Moral of the story they were in their rights to take the money but the fact they ignored both me and booking.com says a lot about the company greed. Enjoy spending my money..

    Des Moines is a very nice city, downtown is nice especially the skywalks. Our visit to the capitol grounds for the Des Moines symphony Yankee Doodle Pops event was awesome. We lived there a little over 30 years ago and still have friends that we visit from time to time. We always enjoy our visits.

    Hotel was an easy walk to Civic Center and restaurants.

    Hotel was an easy walk to Civic Center and restaurants. Lots of restaurants nearby to choose from. Went to Court Street Brew Pub - casual and great for a variety of beers. Splash is a nice seafood restaurant - quiet and low key. Parking is pricey whether in the ramp or on the street. Cute shops downtown - nice change from mall shopping. Locally owned! Cooking store, spices, oil and vinegar shop, gift shops. Hotel is historic and recently renovated - nicely done. Room was comfortable and quiet. Staff was pleasant and friendly.

    Des Moines is a thriving metropolitan city with plenty of events and entertainment value. From exciting sporting events to an entertaining amusement park with a fabulous waterpark (better than Oceans of Fun in Kansas City). Exciting nightlife with alot of clubs with live entertainment. Golf Courses, Extreme skating park and many nice parks. If your a bicycler, their trail system is 2nd to none for riding enjoyment. Clean and friendly people. A nice place to visit. If you're lucky enough to be there during the Iowa State Fair, one of the best fairs in the USA!

    Only was able to stay here for a few hours after a canceled flight out of Denver to the east coast caused us to drive to Des Moines to fly out early the next morning. But was grateful the lobby was open at 1am when we arrived, and the staff member was able to check us in. And then only had a 10 minute drive to the airport early the next morning. Clean room, relatively close to the airport for a good price, was exactly what we needed. Can't comment about much more since we were only there for a few hours.

    Surety is a beautifully restored hotel with a great vibe and super nice staff. They took great care of me and my dog, Amy upgraded us to ensure we were in a very quiet room so my dog was relaxed. The rooms are large and nicely done, bed was perfect. I ate at the restaurant twice and was very impressed with the cocktails and locally sourced fish, veg and homemade pasta. It’s very close to Court Street and the nightlife. I will definitely stay again and highly recommend it!

    Clean, comfortable, modern, quiet. Laundry in the unit was great. Full kitchen. Nice amenities in the apartment complex (fitness room, party-type gathering room, nice lobby, lobby coffee). Free parking behind the building. Walking distance to several nice restaurants, the sculpture garden and the Des Moines library. We had some questions about things and received prompt text replies. Would definitely recommend and would stay there again.

    Great location- convenient to downtown restaurants, bars, farmer's market, grocery store, etc. The condo was clean and provided kitchen necessities (less a pizza pan), laundry detergent, dishwashing tabs, etc. Perfect for our girls' trip to the Iowa State Fair. Easy code access to the secure building and code access to the condo. Also located in a safe area of downtown Des Moines where we felt comfortable walking everywhere.

    The location was fine, the kids loved the pool. The room was clean, but had very poorly patched holes in walls, doors and bathtub. There didn't seem to be a lot of other guests there at the same time, so unless all of the rooms have some damage in them, I'm not sure why rooms that clearly need maintenance should be filled first.
