We enjoyed our stay!

Swank hotel with beautiful lobby and bar. Not your mother’s Des Moines hotel!

Nice location, easy to walk to places.

Very nice location, clean and staff was amazing

Everything I could have asked for during my stay. Great service, great room.

It was a very nice experience

Very nice hotel and great location

I would absolutely stay here again! Very clean and staff was always thoughtful and kind.

Comfy beds

It’s my favorite hotel. I always stay there when I’m in town. The staff is amazing, the hotel is gorgeous and they are wonderful to my little dog Frida. The Surety is simply the best!

Beautiful new addition to Des Moines. Very nice property, great rooms, efficient and friendly staff. Hotel needs to add breakfast items and valet parking though.

Very nice decor, large soft bath towels and comfortable bed. Staff was friendly and helpful. What I did not like was, very small room with no luggage rack. No towel rack for wet towels. No room service or robes and slippers like it states in the hotel information. No coffee maker in the room. Mini bar not stocked due to Covid, but could call guest services and they would bring alcohol and snacks to your room. Restaurant not open on Sunday.

Beautiful room, great service, and one of the best restaurants in Des Moines!

This was a really nice place to stay and we will go back again. The meal in the restaurant was excellent and the room was very clean and comfortable. The indoor parking is about a block away but very secure.

6th Ave. Des Moines IA
