Jersey Devil help me, trying to book a hotel for anniversary trip....

really interested in Des Lux Hotel in Des Moines. it is pretty pricey. so, maybe a cheaper hotel in DM for the weekend and splurge on something with WOWZA factor for later on in the trip...

my eyeballs are jittery. Kevin has taken over the search. found a cool place on Mississippi River, but not the way to Minnesota, apparently. must just be the one road.....
