Great hotel. Clean, friendly and lovely all around
We LOVE the Des Lux! Its a great place to celebrate special occasions. Spring for the corner fireplace king room. Well worth it!
Great place, cozy in the middle of downtown.
Beautiful rooms. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy check in.
I cannot recommend this hotel enough. Gorgeous, clean, quiet, and super friendly staff. Sandy was amazing- went out of her way to make our stay great. The breakfast was awesome, safe but still a great selection. Easy walk to the YWCA Aquatic Center. Oh and the hotel smells amazing- not sure what they do- but the whole place smells awesome but is not overpowering. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Beautifully restored property
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.
