Recent Iowa State Fairgrounds hotel reviews by fellow wanderers

Des Lux Hotel
5 out of 5
Posted 5 days ago
Travelocity Verified Review
"We enjoyed the spacious room, the eclectic decorating and comfort of the lobby and the breakfast at the Hotel Des Lux. We stayed on a quiet holiday night so would be interested to observe the hotel on a night with greater occupancy. On Locust St the right curb lane offers signage for temporary check-in parking, but to me and my car and I felt exposed to regular traffic on Locust. Could the city of Des Moines construct a bump out to more isolate that curb lane? "
