"Close to the airport and friendly staff"

"For the money it was a decent place, but you get what you pay for. It’s a little dingy and rundown but again for the price it wasn’t bad."

"Bed was a little to firm for us. It was a bit to noisy. Kids running in the hallway at 11pm. "

"We enjoyed our stay at Des Lux and will definitely be back next time we come through Des Moines. After completing RAGBRAI again we decided to treat ourselves and relax a bit before heading home. The whirlpool was amazing! Spacious and just the right temp. Lots of options for dining nearby. Be sure to stop by the bar and enjoy a cocktail with Sherry. "
