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.

The staff was very nice, the food is great in the restaurant. My only issue is the parking, it’s expensive. I paid $61 to park overnight. I didn’t expect it to be that much.

Excellent Spot in Downtown
It was fantastic! Very cool hotel, excellent service and great lobby with restaurant and coffee shop. I sorta wish they had more drawers for clothes and hooks for used towels but that’s a really small deal. Would recommend.

Beautiful hotel & comfortable room
This neat hotel is less than 1 mile easy walk to the downtown area. The room was spacious and clean. I would have preferred a fridge and microwave instead of a stocked mini bar. No coffee maker in the room, but free coffee downstairs and fancy coffee for a charge. Cute bar on main level too, I didn’t get to try it as I was meeting up with friends elsewhere. Parking in adjacent lot was easy.
