Des Moines' charmed chic
Near two restaurants, the court, a grocery store, a pharmacy, and downtown - of course. Adorned in turn-of-the-century chic, it feels like walking through a looking glass.

Very nice but kind and attentive staff. The room was very large, smelled clean and dry, and was quiet. The downstairs spa area was a nice change of pace and the breakfast was the best spread I’ve had in a long time. The entire hotel was top notch.
