This is a pet friendly hotel but charging a $75 pet fee which is half the cost of the actual room is not pet friendly and it’s just ridiculous. Otherwise this is a beautiful hotel.

Love the Surety
We loved the Surety! We had a quick stop through Des Moines on a road trip with our dog and so happy we found it. Beautiful hotel; very dog friendly and a fantastic restaurant on site. Also safe heated underground parking to leave our truck with bikes in tow. Great stay - will definitely stay again the next time we are in Des Moines.

Nice hotel but outside the hotel needs addressing
The hotel was beautiful but the homelessness outside was pretty bad. Walking to park my car at night wasn’t ideal and the restaurant is all windows. A woman thought it would be funny to expose herself to my daughter and I while we were having dinner. The hotel needs more security outside and should have valet parking with all that going on.
