Top Downtown Des Moines Hotel Reviews

Des Lux Hotel

Des Lux Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"First time staying here and had a great stay. It was only for one night, but I was very satisfied. front desk staff were friendly. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Loved the high ceilings and tall headboard. Just a great ambiance, dark wood finishes. Only thing that didn’t mesh with the vibe was the tub/shower combination. Just seemed outdated for the rest of the room and bathroom. Otherwise, fantastic place to stay! "
