Days Inn by Wyndham Sioux Falls Empire

10/10 Excellent

"An older hotel but in good condition, newer carpet, room was clean, no issues with the stay, a fantastic value, paid under $75 for a king room including taxes and fees, almost impossible to beat that!! Front attendant was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good, not as many selections as some hotels but area was clean, well-stocked and everything tasted good. Will book again next time we need a hotel in Sioux Falls."

10/10 Excellent

"We really were glad we picked this hotel for our stay in Sioux Falls, SD. Our room was smaller than expected but cozy, and had all the necessary amenities! Bed was great, there were a variety of pillows to choose from, and TV channels adequate! The health club facilities were better than most with nice equipment for our needs!! Morning breakfasts were awesome with a larger than normal variety to choose from, and the quality was great!! Staff was friendly and welcoming, and we got great advice for meals out!! It was clean and was in a great location! Our only advice is that we would like to see the fitness room reorganized, so that you can watch TV while using the cardio machines!! DocMJ"
