Not that there is anything wrong per se but definitely not an open and welcoming environment. If your are looking for a “business” hotel then this will be your jam but other Hotels we have stayed at are way more “normal” and friendly environments. The room itself was beautiful but not a place we will stay at again.

We loved our latest stay at the Surety which happened to be Christmas Eve. The restaurant and bar was at full capacity with diners. A definite Christmas oasis as most of the rest of downtown Des Moines was quiet. A testament to food and restaurant that so many would seek it out on Christmas eve. Staff as always were welcoming and friendly.

My fiancée and I had a wonderful stay at the Surety! We were in town to see the Mannheim Steamroller Christmas show at the Civic Center. The Surety is within walking distance to the Civic Center. The room was very clean and comfortable! We had dinner at the Mulberry Street Tavern inside the hotel and that was wonderful too!
