Sioux Falls Airport Hotel: Unbeatable Deals & Luxury at Holiday Inn & Suites!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! Because this isn't your average hotel review. This is… well, this is my brain after a weekend at the Sioux Falls Airport Hotel: Unbeatable Deals & Luxury at Holiday Inn & Suites! (And no, they didn't pay me to say that… wink… but hey, the free Wi-Fi was a huge win, so maybe a little bias crept in. Don't tell anyone!)
First Impressions & That Whole "Accessibility" Thing… Ugh, Important Stuff First
Right, so, I’m not gonna lie, I’m not here to judge. But I am here to… well, hopefully, help you judge. I always forget the important stuff first, so here we go. If you’re rolling in, or need the rolling-in experience, excellent. The Sioux Falls Airport Hotel seems to really get it. Wheelchair accessible throughout, which is HUGE. The elevator is easily accessible – not some tiny, claustrophobic coffin; a proper people-mover, you know? They've got facilities for disabled guests that actually look like they cared about the design. Plus, I saw a car park [free of charge] with plenty of space near the entrance. Score!
Then there’s the… safety stuff. The pandemic really messed me up, and I’m kind of a crazy person when it comes to cleanliness. Thankfully, this place seems to be making effort. They have hand sanitizer everywhere, daily disinfection in common areas, and the staff seemed incredibly trained in safety protocol. They also use anti-viral cleaning products, and even offer a room sanitization opt-out available (which, for a germaphobe like me, is amazing!) The rooms are sanitized between stays, and professional-grade sanitizing services are used. So, yeah, I felt pretty safe wandering around.
Getting Settled In & That Whole "Rooms" Thing… Cozy, But…
Okay, so you check in. The check-in/out [express] option is fantastic if you’re like me – impatient. But I also noticed a front desk [24-hour], which is great for those late-night arrivals. The room itself? Pretty standard. The non-smoking rooms are a godsend (thank you, universe!). Air conditioning, obviously. Air conditioning in public area? Check. Alarm clock? Yeah, that's a thing. Blackout curtains are a must from me.
I had a standard room. The carpet felt clean, and that was important. There’s a desk, a sitting area, and all the usual suspects. Free Wi-Fi? Massive win. Complimentary tea? Nice touch. There are even the little things– slippers, bathrobes are in the room.
The "Things to Do" & "Ways to Relax"… Oh, The Sauna!
Okay, now we're talking! This is where this hotel really shone for me. They've got a swimming pool [outdoor]. Not a massive, Olympic-sized thing, but a decent size, and thankfully not freezing. (It was Sioux Falls, after all.) They also have a pool with a view, which made things more fun!
But the pièce de résistance? The Spa/sauna! Oh, my goodness. I think I spent approximately three hours in there. The sauna was amazing – a proper, genuine sweatbox of bliss. They also have a steamroom. Perfect for steaming away all the travel stress and existential angst. There’s also a gym/fitness center (that I completely skipped because, let's be honest, I'm on vacation!)
Dining, Drinking & Snacking… Fueling the Fun!
Food! I love food. They have a restaurant with Asian cuisine (a definite plus in my book!) and Western cuisine. There are restaurants and a bar. I had desserts in the restaurant and coffee/tea in restaurant. The breakfast [buffet] was pretty standard, but they also have Breakfast in room and Breakfast takeaway service, which is perfect if you're feeling a little… delicate. The room service [24-hour] is a life-saver.
Services and Conveniences… The Little Things That Matter (And the Big Things That Annoy!)
Oh, the details! The good and the bad. I thought it was cool that the Sioux Falls Airport Hotel has a convenience store. It’s the little things that make a difference. Laundry service? Yes, please! Daily housekeeping? Thank you, world! And there's luggage storage and a concierge. I didn't use them–I'm a fairly low-maintenance traveler–but I'm sure it helps other people!
For the Kids… (And the Kid in All of Us!)
Although, I’m old enough to know a few things now, I saw signs for babysitting service and family/child friendly, so if you have little ones, this place caters to them.
Cleanliness and Safety (Again, Because… You Know)
I already discussed the safety features. But it’s worth reiterating: they seem to take this seriously. They have safe dining setup and the staff are all trained.
The Verdict: A Hot Deal in a Cold Place
Okay, so here's the deal. The Sioux Falls Airport Hotel – at least the Holiday Inn & Suites portion – is a solid choice. It's not perfect, but it's a really good value.

Unveiling Ambai Deluxe Lodge: Kolhapur's Hidden Gem!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your average itinerary. This is the survival guide to the Holiday Inn & Suites Sioux Falls - Airport (By IHG), or as I like to call it, "Where Dreams Go to… Well, rest before they take off." Think of it less like a schedule and more like a fever dream filtered through the lens of a sleep-deprived, caffeine-fueled travel writer (that's me!).
Day 1: Arrival and Airport-Adjacent Angst - The Unfolding of a Midwestern Mystery
- 14:00 - Arrival at Sioux Falls Regional Airport (FSD): Okay, let's be honest, the airport is… fine. Small enough to be manageable, big enough to convince you you're actually going somewhere exciting. The baggage claim is a real test of patience though. Honestly, I think they're deliberately slowing things down for comedic effect. Waiting for my suitcase felt like watching paint dry, except the paint was supposed to be my luggage.
- Emotional Reaction: Mild annoyance. It's the beginning of travel, dang it! Everything should be smooth sailing! (Spoiler alert: it rarely is.)
- 14:30 - Shuttle to Holiday Inn & Suites: The complimentary shuttle! Bless its weary little heart. The driver was a sweet, older gentleman who smelled faintly of Old Spice and implied he'd seen some things. We chatted about the weather ( predictably sunny, predictably windy) and the merits of various Midwestern BBQ joints, a conversation that, in retrospect, was the peak of sophisticated cultural exchange for the trip.
- 15:00 - Check-In and Room Reconnaissance: The lobby? Standard hotel lobby. Beige, with a faint hint of chlorine from the indoor pool… which, by the way, smelled amazing. Check-in was a breeze, the front desk person smiled too genuinely maybe not much is going on in the hotel, I thought. My room, though? Ah, the room. It was clean! And it had a king-sized bed! But, the desk was small even if I had a computer, and the TV remote had a mind of its own. Don't even get me started on the Wi-Fi.
- Quirky Observation: I'm pretty sure my room's air conditioning was powered by a hamster on a wheel. It worked, but it sounded like it was working very hard.
- Imperfection: I immediately dropped a crumb of a granola bar on the pristine (aesthetically, at least) carpet. The guilt still haunts me.
- 16:00 - Exploring the Hotel: First things first, the indoor pool! It was delightfully empty. I dipped my toes in the water and I thought to myself, yes, that's a good reason to travel after all. I didn't actually swim, because I'm not that kind of person, but I did enjoy the lingering smell of chlorine and the way the sunlight fell on the water. On the way back to my room, I also did a quick exploration of the gym hoping that's it would be as empty as the pool, but even for the time I visited, there were a couple of people working out.
- 18:00 - Dinner at the Hotel Restaurant (or, The Great Dining Gamble): The hotel restaurant! Or as I came to call it, "The Place Where You Hope They Have Something Besides Fried Food". Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little. The menu did actually have a few non-fried options. I ordered the steak, though, because hey, why not? My steak wasn't bad, but it wasn't particularly memorable either. It was the kind of meal that existed.
- Emotional Reaction: Slight letdown. I wanted to be wowed. I wanted an experience. I got… sustenance.
- 19:00 - Evening Wind-Down & The Great TV Remote Battle: Back in the room! The TV remote, my nemesis. Seriously, it had more buttons than the space shuttle. I spent a solid half hour trying to figure out how to turn the volume down.
- Messy Structure & Rambles: This is where the real fun begins! I tried to order something from the vending machine… but the machine ate my dollar bill. I tried again and it ate another one! Now I'm just grumpy and tired. I'm considering raiding the complimentary coffee station to get a second (or tenth) wind. I also considered calling room service but thought against it. This is my first time at South Dakota and I need to experience it all, or at least what the hotel has to offer.
- 22:00 - Attempt at Sleep: Ah, sleep. A highly overrated activity.
Day 2: South Dakota Exploration and the Flight of the Exhausted Tourist
- 07:00 - Wake Up and (Attempt to) Breakfast: Coffee. Lots and lots of coffee. Breakfast was "included," which meant a buffet of the usual suspects. I'm calling it "a valiant effort."
- 08:00 - Departure for Sioux Falls: I decided to head out to visit the main things of Sioux Falls, of course.
- 12:00 - Back to the hotel: It's time to rest up, the flight back home will be at about 1700.
- 14:00 - Packing and Farewell: Packing isn't my favorite thing, and I'll be honest, I was dreading the trip back to the airport.
- 15:00 - Final Airport Run and Goodbye Sioux Falls: The airport was still as familiar to me by now, and the flight didn't disappoint, a bit of turbulence and all.
Final Thoughts:
The Holiday Inn & Suites Sioux Falls - Airport? It's… fine. It's a perfectly functional hotel in a perfectly functional city. It wasn't the trip of a lifetime, but still a new experience.
Rating: 3 sleepy hamsters out of 5.
And that, my friends, is my brutally honest review. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need a nap. Travel is exhausting.

Sioux Falls Airport Hotel: Holiday Inn & Suites - FAQ (and My Brain Dump!)
Okay, so, is this Holiday Inn *really* right at the airport? Because I've been burned before...
Oh, honey, YES. It's practically *in* the airport! Think of it this way: imagine you're sprinting to catch your flight (which, let's be honest, we've all done). Now picture *not* having to navigate a chaotic shuttle, sweating buckets because you’re already late. That’s the Holiday Inn at Sioux Falls Airport. I walked across the freaking *street* once and felt like I'd won the lottery. Seriously, it's ridiculously convenient. Like, you can practically smell the jet fuel while you're sipping your morning coffee. (Which, side note, needs to be stronger. Just sayin'.)
What's the deal with these "unbeatable deals" they're bragging about? Is it all just marketing fluff?
Look, I'm cynical. I'm a *professional* cynic, practically. But I'll admit, I've found some decent deals there. Stuff like packages that include the park & fly thing, which is a lifesaver if you're road-tripping and flying out. My advice? Check those sneaky booking sites *and* the Holiday Inn website directly. Sometimes, the direct booking is cheaper. Plus, you can rack up those sweet, sweet IHG points. I’m telling ya, the points are the only reason I've managed to take more than a weekend off in the last decade. They're like… currency of the semi-wealthy travel-worn. And the "unbeatable" part? Well, compare, always compare. But yeah, they do often have good ones, especially if you book in advance. Don't wait until the last minute, you fool. Learn from my mistakes! (I've paid some *brutal* last-minute prices.)
Is the "luxury" part of "luxury at Holiday Inn" a joke? Let's be real.
Okay, let's dial back the expectations *just a smidge*, shall we? "Luxury" is relative, right? Compared to a Motel 6 with questionable stains on the comforter? YES, it's luxurious. Compared to the Ritz-Carlton in Paris? Nope. It’s a *Holiday Inn*, folks. But the suites are actually pretty spacious, the beds are comfy (essential!), and the bathrooms are generally clean. They have a pool and a little gym. I’m a sucker for a hotel pool, even if I only swim in it twice a year. Honestly, the gym is just a reason to eat more pizza. I mean, the pizza *is* usually pretty good, come to think of it… Okay now I’m hungry.
What’s the breakfast situation? Because a bad hotel breakfast can ruin a whole day.
This is a HUGE consideration, people! The breakfast is… well, it's the standard Holiday Inn breakfast. Think the usual suspects: scrambled eggs, those weird sausage patties that look suspiciously like hockey pucks, waffles you make yourself, and an assortment of sugary cereals. The coffee is… well, it *exists*. I always bring my own instant coffee and little packets of cream. Look, it's free, and it'll get you going. I've had worse. I was once served a "breakfast burrito" at a hotel that smelled suspiciously of week-old gym socks. This is definitely not that. (Thank god.)
I'm worried about noise. Being near the airport and all...
Okay, this is where it gets interesting, because I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS. The noise situation is… variable. Sometimes, you barely hear a thing. They’ve got pretty good soundproofing. Other times… UGH! One time, I swear I heard a whole air traffic control conversation. It was like, *BEEP BEEP* "Tower, this is Flight 42." *BEEP BEEP* “Uh, roger that, Flight 42. You’re cleared for… whatever." I kid you not, and this was at, like, 3 AM. I called the front desk. They said, "Oh, yeah, sometimes it gets a little loud." A little loud?! I felt like I was *inside* the plane! My advice, especially if you're a light sleeper? Request a room away from the runways. Bring earplugs. Maybe invest in some noise-canceling headphones. And maybe, just maybe, pack a pillow you don't particularly care for to throw at the wall in a fit of sleep-deprived rage. (Hypothetically, of course.) **Important note:** I’ve stayed there several times since, and the soundproofing had been significantly improved, but just remember that there will, at times, be planes.
Parking: Is it easy? Costs? Do you have to deal with a cramped shuttle?
Parking is easy peasy! HUGE win here. You usually don't have to fight for a spot. It’s right there. No shuttle drama, which is a blessing. Less stress, bigger smile. The price? Depends on the package, but the park-and-fly deals can be very worthwhile if you're leaving your car there while you're away. Just check what's included when you're booking. (Did I mention to check all the websites? Yeah, do that.)
Any other perks I should know about? Tips? Secrets?!
Okay, here’s some slightly unorganized wisdom. Remember the pool, you know, for swimming? And the gym? Well, if you're arriving late, grab some snacks from the little sundries shop. They usually have microwaveable meals, which is a lifesaver when you're starving from travelling. Sign up for the IHG rewards program *before* you book. (Duh! I've said this like, five times now. Am I channeling my inner travel agent?) Don't be afraid to ask for an upgrade. Sometimes, they have them available, especially if you're a rewards member. And for the love of all that is holy, pack an extra toothbrush and some Advil. You'll thank me later. Oh, and one time, I was there during a blizzard. The hotel staff were absolute saints, keeping the coffee flowing and the hallways shoveled. They deserve a medal. (Seriously, are they unionized?) Oh, and one more thing: check the weather forecast before you go! Sioux Falls can get… interesting. You have been warned!
