5/5 Excellent

"The whole place was soooo nice! The staff was beyond wonderful. Loved that the last 30 min of the pool being open was 18+ as there was a ton of kiddos there. Absolutely 0 complaints!"

"The room was big, clean and comfortable. The lobby was clean and inviting. Breakfast was good with his options. I did not like that some customers brought their dogs into the dining area. I didn't care for the flying fur from the dogs landing on my food. Otherwise, we really enjoy Drury. We have stayed at several in the South. "

5/5 Excellent

"What an unexpected and remarkable hotel nestled in the middle of downtown Des Moines. The lobby is a little bit of European old world splendor with the amenities one expects from a top notch modern hotel. Front desk staff was efficient and polite. Restaurants in the area were pointed out along with parking instructions across the street. The room I was assigned had a fireplace, bar with sink, a full sized tufted leather couch a separate sitting area, and a large bathroom. A very comfortable bed made for a restful sleep. Wow! A spa and gym in the basement with his/her locker rooms. Breakfast was served with the usual offerings along with an espresso machine was a nice touch to highly enjoyable stay. This place will a definite stop for my next trip through town. "
