Hotel has a cool vibe. Will stay here again. The remote to the TV didn’t work to change the channel but it’s not a deal breaker.

Des Lux
I had a trip to Des Moines that could have turned into a longer than expected trip. The staff at Des Lux could not have been more accommodating and flexible with my undetermined plans. The room was wonderful, clean and quiet which made my stay very comfortable.

One of the best hotels in the areas, easily!
Easily one of the most exceptional hotels in the area. Elegant and interesting decor throughout. The lobby, specifically, has an incredibly unique and comfortable ambiance without being pretentious. The hotel staff was kind and professional. The workout room was spacious and airy. The sauna and steam room were added bonuses. The hot breakfast was satisfactory. Convenient parking ramp across the street for $10/day. Ideal downtown location.
