The hotel itself was very bean and unique. The staff in the restaurant were very rude. Went to have drinks before dinner, no one there to greet you or let you know that dinner didn’t start until 5. Sat at the bar after asking the bar tender if that was ok, he said it was fine. Then basically was ignored the entire time we sat there. Would not ever dine there…

We really enjoyed our stay at Surety! We wanted a luxurious feeling hotel at a reasonable price and we got that here. The room was classy, clean, comfortable and quiet! We were on the 8th floor and had a great view while a thunderstorm rolled in at night. All of the staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful. We lucked out with street parking so that was easy and way cheaper than the lot. We’ll definitely be back!

Attention to aesthetics was very nice upon entry. Welcoming front desk staff that provided disclosure of amenities. Rooms are clean with a helpful fridge. Guests should be aware that the hotel is in near proximity of the train track system. Overnight there will be a midnight -1am noice disturbance. The hotel offered complimentary ear plugs for this. Overall a very reasonable option for guests visiting the downtown Des Moines area.
