“My experience at Des Lux was fantastic!! The staff was nice and accommodating. The hotel was beautifully designed and extremely clean. The location is great. It's within walking distance of many restaurants. I was there to run a half marathon and they graciously allowed me a late check-out to allow me time to get back to the hotel and shower after the race. It was one of the best hotel experiences I've had and I'm a very frequent traveler to many states and cities. It will be my new go-to hotel when visiting Des Moines.”
