Des Lux Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"One of the most elegant hotels on the planet. Likely the best all around in Iowa. Amazing in every way."

Des Moines Marriott Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Clean place"

Cozy 3-bedroom Beaverdale Brick

10/10 Excellent

"The house was very clean, and the check-in process was easy and convenient. Overall, the property was well maintained and comfortable.We were in town for my cousin’s wedding, so we spent most of our time away from the house. The host promptly accommodated our request for an iron and ironing board.One thing to note is that the house has a strong aroma reminiscent of Chinese herbal medicine. The scent was quite noticeable throughout our stay and may not be familiar or comfortable for everyone. Aside from that, we had a pleasant experience."

SO MUCH FUN! ARCADE, PL TBL, PNG PNG, YARD GAMES, INDOOR AND OUTDOOR POOLS!!
