Staff was excellent. Hotel property is a nice mix of new and old historic hotel. More attention needs to be given to cleanliness: bathroom vanity, floors, bar top in breakfast area and outside perimeter.

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!

Old bank building retains its original charm in sleek updated rooms. We stayed on 11th floor and had a killer view. Restaurant was overpriced and food was not good. Both meals were a bust or we’d give this 5 stars
