Fireplace was beautiful and made the room cozy for our winter stay. Bed was comfortable. Room was clean and had an upscale feel (very spacious room with high ceilings and a cool ceiling fan/light)). Bathroom was spacious but surprisingly had just a typical shower/tub combo with a large shower head and hand held wand option - lotta counter space though. Amenities were nice. Breakfast was pretty typical of hotel food. Highly recommend spending a few extra dollars to stay here versus a typical chain hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful. ##### Andrew Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James Jul 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Wonderful historic hotel that is nicely refurbished with an artistic and well-decorated flair. ##### James Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brenna Oct 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This hotel was so cool.

We stayed on a quiet holiday night so would be interested to observe the hotel on a night with greater occupancy. On Locust St the right curb lane offers signage for temporary check-in parking, but to me and my car and I felt exposed to regular traffic on Locust. Could the city of Des Moines construct a bump out to more isolate that curb lane? ##### Jon Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### W.
