This was a lovely hotel, very close to the Skywalk, which is an amazing walking network, connecting much of the downtown area - safe, secure, and climate controlled. I was in a tournament at the Iowa Events Center and it was an easy 15 minute walk - no car, no hassle! The staff were friendly and helpful. Des Moines has a lot of construction going on.

Loved the decor. The staff was great. We had an event at the Civic Center and easy walk to there. There is a convenience store a couple doors down. Morning coffee was from a local coffee shop for a nice touch. We ate at the onsite restaurant, and it was excellent, especially the drinks! Two options for parking, one underground that are super convenient. Will stay here again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Surety! We wanted a luxurious feeling hotel at a reasonable price and we got that here. The room was classy, clean, comfortable and quiet! We were on the 8th floor and had a great view while a thunderstorm rolled in at night. All of the staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful. We lucked out with street parking so that was easy and way cheaper than the lot. We’ll definitely be back!
