Jane and Tim make you feel very welcome. They bring a coffee and tea tray to the room. The inn is very clean. They have a great library. They are conveniently located in a Neighborhood where you can walk to restaurants and movies. We enjoyed our stay.

Jane & Tim have created an oasis of calm and beauty just 3 blocks from Drake University. Easy parking, comfiest mattress, spacious bathroom, great breakfast - wonderful!! My husband & I arrived early (called Jane and she said "Sure, come on over!"), and collapsed into our lovely room. The bathroom has a bench and an open closet with hooks which... More

We spent a wonderful night at this B&B. We would highly recommend staying here when comparing to a high end hotel. Many great features such as complementary drinks, WiFi, cable TV, robes, and off street parking. We will be back.

Stayed 2 nights, and our hosts could not have been kinder - it felt like home. Lovely comfortable and tastefully decorated room, chocolates on the bedside table, and a small pantry outside the bedroom door with biscuits, ice and canned drinks for us in the fridge as we wished. Fresh fruit and French toast one morning, (I declined the sausage),... More

This response is really for all the wonderful guests who taken the time to submit a review. We so appreciate the kind words and the compliments for our service. There is though one thing that is missing in these reviews. A large part of having a positive stay at any bed and breakfast is being a great guest. When you... More

I have never stayed at a B&B before and was fortunate that 1900 Inn was my first experience. This house is in a transitional neighborhood of once beautiful older homes being renovated. Jane and Tim have done an outstanding job, you'll want to move in! I was in the Garden Room, with a huge jacuzzi and very comfortable bed. The... More

We spent a fabulous week at the 1900 Inn. The home is beautifully restored, our room was comfortable and Jane and Tim are terrific hosts. Every morning we had fresh coffee at our door when we awoke and then went downstairs for a delicious breakfast featuring fresh fruit, home-baked goods and main dishes ranging from "breakfast pizza" to Jane's "Canadian"...

My wife and I stayed here to celebrate our anniversary. We stayed in the garden room and thought it was wonderful. It was a very pleasant stay and they really thought of everything. The coffee delivered to your room before breakfast was an extra special treat. We came back from dinner and were hoping to find some silverware to share... More

How could I have missed this one - Trip Advisor sent me an email to do some reviews and on our two month vacation across the country - we wanted to stay strictly with B&B's - they offer great service and knowledge of the area with recommendations for places to eat. This was a beautiful B&B with great hosts making... More

We celebrated my husband's 60th birthday in Des Moines. It was our first stay at The 1900 Inn. We loved it! Tim and Jane were the best hosts! The room was beautifully furnished, comfortable and cozy. We had some special dietary considerations which were pleasantly accommodated. The breakfast was divine! I would agree with the other reviews that I read... More
