Place is beautiful, full breakfast offered though it’s noticeable that they have few staff, Netflix doesn’t work, had a blocked toilet that I informed them about but nothing was done about it. For the price I absolutely think they can do better!

Staff are very friendly and helpful with dinner recommendations. Elevator was out of service when returning from dinner, long painful walk to my 5th floor room after a big meal. Only other con may be thin windows or insulation. So much traffic noise at all hours of the night. What is with Des Moines motorcycles and "race cars" constantly cruising around downtown all night long? Overall, lovely hotel with character and near excellent dining (Centro). I recommend and will return next time I'm in town for work.

The Des Lux was a really cool boutique hotel. The martini bar in the lobby was nice (a little pricey) but the lobby was unique and fun. The breakfast was substantial and had so many choices, we felt as if we were at an “All-inclusive”. Parking was easy and convenient, cost is $10.00 a day, room was spacious and comfortable. The hot tub was very nice, along with a fantastic steam room and sauna. This hotel is just all around, very neat and worth a try. Oh, also, plenty of fantastic restaurants within walking distance.

I like they decorated for the holidays while keeping the charm of the old building. It is fancy without being gaudy. Kind of that old school cool kind of vibes.

About as close to 5 stars as you can get. Fabulous holiday props and display. De Luxe is appropriate for this property. No pool, but a great hot tub. Free breakfast is well done even if no biscuits and gravy. A lobby coffee maker would be a great addition, and a 2nd TV would be welcome -

This hotel is so unique and has a really special feeling to it. It is intimate, immaculately decorated and the furnishings and decor are quirky and weird and so fun. The bed was super comfy and the fireplace in our room along with the high ceilings, was just perfect. The staff was also wonderful. Highly recommend! Park across the street for $10/day.
