This property has been our favorite since our daughter moved to Des Moines. She lives in the Fleming Building, which is next to the Surety. The location is great, and we really like the underground parking. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful upscale hotel with a restaurant in the hotel. Food is trendy and expensive. Decor in the room is lovely with wood floors, a refrigerator underneath a built in shelf with a wet bar. King size bed is super comfy and black out curtains

Beautiful hotel, amazing staff, markets just around the corner. The beds are well used, meaning ours you could tell everyone sleeps on the right side. Flattened and not as comfy as it could be. Be aware- close to train tracks. Each morning 6-7a, 1-3 trains would blare their horns, also near state house, bells toll at all hours.
