Modern Ranch near Knapp Center, Downtown is a recently renovated vacation home in Des Moines where guests can make the most of the garden and shared lounge.

I didn’t like nothing about my stay at all. I felt unsafe my family felt unsafe we didn’t even go to sleep because the host and her family members were circling up and down the street through the alley all night I felt unwelcome and she said that I broke in when she called the cops but I felt targeted from the start when she called me before I even checked in talking to me aggressive and rudely making it be know absolutely no parties but we discussed in text on Booking.com that it was a little family get together a gathering and she was fine with that. She agreed to it. We agreed that we can be seven people spending the night but 10 to 14 people was gonna be there overall and the conversation is saved, but when I got checked in and everything her wnd 4 other men and 2 women we’re circle in the house, came walking up to the door, barging in yelling claiming I broke into the house and then she was gonna call the police being just real aggressive I felt unsafe my family felt unsafe I wanted happy with this stay at all and this isn’t my first booking I was so unsatisfied and it hurts me cause all it was was a family get together for a baby shower but she made to do traumatic for me and my family.

    Lovely restored hotel with a cool, modern vibe in downtown Des Moines. Right off Court St. district with tons of restaurants and fun Saturday Farmer's Market. We enjoyed the clean, comfortable rooms with modern amenities. The restaurant food was all delicious. Service was always on point. That it's very dog friendly and welcoming is a big bonus for those traveling with their pets.

    Surety is a beautifully restored hotel with a great vibe and super nice staff. They took great care of me and my dog, Amy upgraded us to ensure we were in a very quiet room so my dog was relaxed. The rooms are large and nicely done, bed was perfect. I ate at the restaurant twice and was very impressed with the cocktails and locally sourced fish, veg and homemade pasta. It’s very close to Court Street and the nightlife. I will definitely stay again and highly recommend it!

    This hotel has it all, comfort, cleanliness, nice, quiet location, quite varied breakfast options and all the entertainment options one might need: a pool, hot tub and sauna, a fun room with pool tables and movies, an arcade cabinet area, a souvenir shop, you name it. Everything looks pristine in and outside the room, they clearly care about that and pay attention to every detail.
