Quick trip

We spent one night in Des Moines to see Hamilton at the Civic Center & visit family. Great location for walking to the show & places to eat. We used parking ramp directly across the street from the condo (16 for 18hrs) which worked well since we had bags & 2 kids. Directions for check in were easy to follow & made sense once you got to the location. Very clean & great set up.

Grad Weekend

Loft was exactly as described & pictured and was the perfect spot for our family. (In town for daughter’s graduation from Drake). If you’re there on a Saturday morning do not miss the most amazing farmers market just a few blocks away. The bar lounge on the first floor was a pleasant surprise- be sure to ask about their speakeasy.

This was our first time staying in the R&T Lofts and it was great! Spacious, clean and quiet! Communication with the owner was also great, fast responses and clear instructions on how to access the loft. Would definitely recommend this for families staying in the area.

Great, well-appointed loft space

This accommodation was just as advertised. Host was very responsive (though I found the repeated automated reminders about noise on the weekends to be overkill.) Only one key/FOB was included upon checkin, but a second one was provided upon request. (I would recommend asking for a second one ahead of time if you think you will need it, as it did take a full day to get the second one.) The well-appointed amenities of the building and unit meant we had everything we needed. Recreation/game room in the basement was lots of fun. Hot water did tend to run out quickly, meaning a few cold showers during the week. A great stay overall!

weekend getaway

Came to Des Moines with my husband and some family. The location cannot be beat. You can walk to Wells Fargo, and to bars and restaurants, all while staying nice and warm in the skywalk. I didn't use the extra amenities of the building-fitness center, etc. but just having them as an option is great. Will definitely try to book again if coming to Des Moines.

Great host & cozy place!

We were here for a conference and were so close to the event center where it was held. I think it could’ve been helpful having resources of how to use the skywalks as I think we maybe could’ve used those to get to the event center if we knew. The apartment was perfect size for all of us and the beds were comfy and clean. One of the bathroom towels had beard trimmings so that’s our only complaint. Thank you to the host for getting back to us quickly and having specific directions on how to get in. Thank you!

Great stay during Iowa State Fair!

This unusual property provided the perfect way to balance our days at the hot, crowded State Fair with cool, open elegance and character downtown. Property is brand new rehab of the old Register & Tribune building, just a few short blocks from the 7th and Center DART bus stop to and from the Fair, so no need to drive and park to the fair! And the very chic Hello Marjorie bar just happens to be in the lobby, very cool. The loft has super high ceilings, to give it a very open feel. Having 2 bathrooms was clutch for our family of 6 (plus our dog Kenobi!) Dan responded to our questions immediately and was terrific through the whole process. Keys were easily accessible and checking out was a breeze. Highly recommend!
