“Nice place to stay.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011

Stayed here for 3 nights back in September. Room was a little small, but very clean and comfortable. Breakfast wasn't too bad, but I understand they have added some foods to the breakfast buffet. All staff members were polite. Good location; within a short driving distance to several attractions. I would stay here again.

Dear AF_Hiker:

Thank you for staying with us for 3 nights back in September. I am proud to hear that your room was clean and comfortable. You may have stayed in one of our smallest room types, which I agree is a small room but comfortable if you only have one person staying in the room. You did hear correct that we have added a couple of items to our breakfast offerings. Now in addition to the ready to make Belgian Waffles, cereal, muffins or donuts, breads, english muffins, minute maid juice and coffee, you can also choose yogurt or a hard boiled egg. It is always nice to hear that my staff were polite as well.

I hope that you will stay with us again in the future. If you know of anyone coming to Sioux Falls, I hope that you will recommend they stay with us here at the Days Inn Empire.

Thank you again for your business and your feedback.

“Very nice place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011

The location is ideal for many restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations etc. Easy on & off the interstate too. Great bed. Very clean room. Bathroom is small but it does the job.

Room Tip: We always ask for the 1st floor so as not to have to go far with suitcases.

Dear KnittingN

Thank you for the very kind review of the Days Inn Empire Sioux Falls, SD. I am glad you found our bed to be great and also your room clean. We take a great deal of pride in providing clean and comfortable rooms. Each year we purchase around 20 new beds so that we can provide our guests with comfortable beds. I am also glad that you enjoyed our great location. I agree with you that it is very convenient to the gas stations, grocery stores and the many restaurants and also the Empire Mall.

If you are ever back in Sioux Falls or know of any friends or family coming this way, I would appreciate the business. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a safe New Year!!!

“Good night's rest”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2011

This is a good place for a one-night layover. As other reviewers have mentioned, the rooms are small and basic, but the bed was clean, firm, and comfortable. We didn't have time for the breakfast, but did check it out. It was pretty basic. But for the price, this was a good place to stay and an easy off and on I-29. The only complaint is that the refrigerator ran constantly. Fortunately, it wasn't too noisy.

Dear mtnight:

Thank you for staying at the Days Inn Empire, Sioux Falls. I am glad you enjoyed your stay with us. I do want to let you know that we do have different size rooms available. I am guessing that you maybe stayed in one of our smallest rooms, which I admit are pretty small. We try to discount those room types since they are smaller rooms. I am glad that you found the bed to be clean, firm and comfortable. I also just wanted to let you know that starting tomorrow (10/21/11), we are going to be adding in hard boiled eggs, and yogurt to our continental breakfast. We are hoping that our guests will enjoy these additions to our breakfast offerings. I am sorry that the refrigerator ran constantly, but glad to hear that it wasn't too loud. Thank you again for staying with us and I hope that you will stay with us again the next time you are in Sioux Falls, SD.

Sincerely,
Matt Brunick

“Excellent service, clean room, great breakfast! Thumbs up!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2011

Rooms are very clean, if small. The complimentary breakfast was outstanding! Good location-very convenient. Staff is friendly and helpful. Called us after we checked in to assure the room was satisfactory. Great! Only negative about this facility was the noisy AC/Heat system. It was very loud and made sleeping soundly difficult. Other than that, Thumbs Up!

Dear JamesT

Thank you for taking the time to post your comments on TripAdvisor. Thank you for letting me know that my staff did a great job during your stay with cleanliness and guest service. I am also glad to hear that you enjoyed our complimentary continental breakfast. I am sorry that the PTAC unit in your room was loud. I will be sure to have my maintenance man check it out to see if it is just the normal noise or if it is something we need to get looked at. I hope that you will stay with again if you are ever back in Sioux Falls. Would you please also recommend the Sioux Falls Days Inn Empire to anyone you know that might be coming our way.

Thank you for your business.
