I felt like for the money it was a very poor hotel! Bartender was less than what I would expect. Not a smile a hello like it was a problem I asked for a drink. Room was small floor and rug dirty. Lighting was horrible in the bathrooms. I will stick to the Hilton down town for sure!!!!

Exceptional stay

After this stay, The Surety has become my favorite hotel in the Des Moines area. The room was clean, comfortable, well-designed, and had exceptional ambiance. It was also eco-friendly without being an inconvenience. Every staff member greeted me warmly and professionally. The coffee provided in the lobby was delicious, however, it would be even better if they had coffee options available in our room.

Not that there is anything wrong per se but definitely not an open and welcoming environment. If your are looking for a “business” hotel then this will be your jam but other Hotels we have stayed at are way more “normal” and friendly environments. The room itself was beautiful but not a place we will stay at again.
