Best Des Moines Beach Hotels

Surety Hotel, Autograph Collection

4.0 star property
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (1001)
"This is a beautiful hotel conveniently located in downtown. The bed and shower were both luxurious. Many great restaurants nearby. My husband liked the pool table in the lobby. The only downside was having to go to the parking garage, which was a long walk into the next door building and two flights of stairs away. There was a lot of construction when we visited (April 2025) which is temporary. Overall a good experience."
