The location of the hotel is great. A lot of places around it. Or room however smelled like cigarette smoke and the bed was leaning to one side (like something was broken) They did just come under new ownership (what we were told) maybe/hopefully the new owners will fix these things we have mentioned.

Comparison
There were two men working when I arrived. The dark-hired man behind the counter was efficient, but had no personality. He made no attempt to be friendly. The other man was light-haired, and was terrific. He helped me in many ways, was very friendly and polite.

Avoid for Safety Reasons
Very unsafe area. Surrounding buildings are weekly rental hotels with a lot of suspicious people hanging around. They allow pets but there is nowhere for your pets to potty. Beds were inconsistent, one was ok the other was uncomfortable. TV is tiny. Had people hanging out partying outside of our first floor window all night.

Our room was quiet and clean, mattresses both a bit sagging. Outside our room was an odor in the entire place which we appreciated that it didn't penetrate into the room. There was smoke odor while checking in. My 95 year old mother and I were staying there to be close to medical appointments in Sioux Falls. The breakfast selection was nice and the idea to put a Sioux Falls magazine on each table.
