• Very homy.
• Air unit didn't work well.

“I was very impressed with the hotel. When I realized my room didn't have the amenities I needed for travel,
i.e. fridge, they went above and beyond what was needed by transferring me to a hot tub sweet with everything, to make up for it. It made my trip very comforting and kept my items needing refrigerator good for work.”

• Very friendly staff willing to make your stay great trying to please all, even giving a snack at the door.
• The parking lot needs to be a little bigger to accommodate all the guests.

“When entering in this hotel you will find very friendly staff, a beautiful fire place and chairs to sit and read a book that is provided by this hotel, also a breakfast buffet in an easy convenient place to sit. The rooms are clean with comfortable beds in them, with a spaces bathroom shower area.”

• Pool and hot tub are very nice.
• Pillows were awful, trains and airplanes were annoying.

“I have stayed at this hotel several times now. I travel with young kids, so a pool is a must for us. The pool here isn't huge, but it is just fine for us. My wife and I also use the hot tub, also a nice amenity. The continental breakfast is pretty good. My only two negative points are the pillows were awful my wife and I both had kinks in our neck and headaches. My other complaint would have to be the trains and airplanes going by. I was on the top floor so maybe it's louder up there - I dont know. But, I have stayed here several times in the past and I will continue to do so. I'll just ask for better pillows next time.”

• Nice breakfast selection!
• Very noisy with kids running in the halls and slamming doors.

“This was a nice hotel, but the noise was very annoying and continued until 11:00 p.m. We also had a fire alarm around 9:00 p.m. that forced everyone outside until the firemen determined that it must have malfunctioned. Not sure I would stay here again.”

• Good continental breakfast.
• Small parking lot - had to park in the street because the lot was full.

“Convenient location if you need to be downtown for business or are in town for a doctor appointment, as the 2 hospitals is very close. Rooms are OK but a little dated.”

• Efficient check in.
• Parking on-site was minimal; many guests parked in a poorly lit lot next door.

“Downtown Sioux Falls is not picturesque, although such a small town is unlikely to be unsafe. This hotel is surrounded by industrial-looking buildings. Inside, it is a normal Country Inn, with all the expected amenities and level of service. Staff was efficient, not particularly friendly although not unpleasant. If you just need a stopover hotel I would recommend something right on I-90 like the Holiday Inn Express. Coming into the deserted downtown area late at night is not a pleasant experience.”

• Good view next to river.
• Noisiest place I¿ve ever stayed.

“This was the noisiest hotel I¿ve ever stayed in. It was at most a 2-star, and that's generous. Could hear people talking in normal voices through walls and ceiling. Could hear every step, every faucet, and every toilet above me. Starting to appear shabby, elevator especially not clean. House computer not available for the two houses I attempted - appeared to be staff on it.”

• The breakfast area was well layer out. Room to get food your food and drink items. Lots of tables available.
• Easy chair seat was hard as a board. The room decor did not measure up to other country inn and suites that we have stayed in over many years.

“We always enjoy staying at the country inn and suites and have always been well satisfied. They are a good value. The hotel was "okay" but did not meet the standard we have become accustomed too. The lobby was ordinary and it followed through to the room. The room was clean, but seemingly smaller than usual, only one easy chair that had a seat as hard as a board, a very small bath tub and an ordinary decor.”

• Beds were too firm -- my wife could not tolerate it.

“My wife has fibromyalgia and is in pain if she can't lie on a soft, comfortable mattress. There were none in this hotel. We finally found comfortable beds at an upper scale hotel.”

• Disappointed in 2.5 star rating. Average hotel for money.

“The Country Inn Suites Sioux Falls has an excellent downtown location. Walk to Statue of David, Washington Pavilion, short drive to Falls Park. Half hotel has nice view of "River" (more like a large creek.) Rooms are average. Continental breakfast average. Pool area average. ”

• The east side neighborhood.

“This is a nice place to stay with an attached restaurant with outdoor dinning. The neighborhood to the east is still in urban renewal but the hotel's location in downtown and next to the river makes it a pleasant stop for us. I've stayed there 3 times now.”

• Located by the River and the Falls, beautiful park area.
• Long distance from major chain restaurants. Terrible wait time in the hotel restaurant.

“Enjoyed the location next to the river walk, great scenery. All of the major chain restaurants were on the opposite side of town, would probably pick a different hotel due to this next time. Took 90 minutes to get our food in the hotel restaurant. Hotel bar is fine for getting a drink, but wouldn't recommend waiting for the food.”

• Close to down town stores. Quiet.
• Parking is limited.

“I had heard they police & the swat team down by the hotel the night before we stayed. The staff that evening I checked in was friendly, also the bartender. The breakfast area is as bit disconcerning, the staff there should keep out of the guests conversations. The sheets were about a 100 count, very rough.”
