The hotel would have been fine however, Locust Street in front of the hotel has become a drag racing track for kids to rev their engines as loud as they can. I inquired about this noise at the front desk and they assured me that the police would make them get off the streets by 10 pm. Well... that was not rue at all. The noise of those cars lasted until at least 1:00 am. I barely got any sleep. When I mentioned at the front desk during check out, they said oh, yes, that has become the norm and the police won’t do anything about it. I wish I would have known that prior to booking our room. I will not be returning to the Des Lux Hotel because of that.
The staff was incredible, especially the front desk worker Mary
The lady at the front desk was such a wonderful lady and treated me very well and even upgraded my room due to a mistake on my part!
Gorgeous and unique space. Great breakfast. Mmmmmmm
Decor In the lobby was cool. They had a nice breakfast! We stayed there for the Des Moines marathon and it was perfect.
Beautiful large rooms. Loved the nostalgic decor and the fireplace was an added bonus. Service was excellent as they upgraded our room without request. The rooms are larger than average and extremely comfortable. Enjoyed the hot tub and sauna. Definitely a high class experience!
Professional and competent . I highly recommend the hotel.
We liked everything friendly helpful told us good restaurants to go eat within walking distance close to interesting events. Would recommend to anyone going to Des Moines Iowa

Great location, very cool decor, comfortable beds and large room! Very clean and staff very friendly and helpful? Breakfast just ok, not great. Also, lighting in bathrooms and amenities for women and a full length mirror would be nice.
