Exceptional stay

After this stay, The Surety has become my favorite hotel in the Des Moines area. The room was clean, comfortable, well-designed, and had exceptional ambiance. It was also eco-friendly without being an inconvenience. Every staff member greeted me warmly and professionally. The coffee provided in the lobby was delicious, however, it would be even better if they had coffee options available in our room.
