House of Funk - A Cozy & Eclectic Retreat in Des Moines’s Drake Neighborhood
10/10 Excellent
"My friends and I stayed here for Hinterland music festival and it was perfect! Had a little hiccup with the passcode to enter with check in, but other than that everything was perfect!"
"Can’t say enough about the dining options on property. The café coffee is some of the best I’ve ever had. The mac & cheese there is to die for. And the daily happy hour at the upscale restaurant was also amazing. Staff was amazing and I certainly will never stay anywhere else in Iowa."
"We enjoyed our stay at Des Lux and will definitely be back next time we come through Des Moines. After completing RAGBRAI again we decided to treat ourselves and relax a bit before heading home. The whirlpool was amazing! Spacious and just the right temp. Lots of options for dining nearby. Be sure to stop by the bar and enjoy a cocktail with Sherry. "
"Very clean and good location across from Drake University. I wish they had on premise parking. The Drake Relays were happening at the time of our stay. On street parking near property was impossible to find. We needed to park a couple of blocks away. We tried to contact host but didn't hear back from them."
"Really great studio apartment. Perfect for visiting my son at Drake Uni and easy access to airport and downtown area. Clean, good amenities and easy check in. "
