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.

We booked at the Empire Towers mainly cause we had stayed there before. The beds were horrible, they were like "curch pew hard." We were looking forward to spending time in the pool. We walked in and it smelled so bad, it was a damp moldy smell, so that was a huge disappointment.

We just did an overnight stay passing through the area on our way back home. This was a great place to stay. Our room was super clean and the staff were friendly. Would definitely chose this place to stay again.

Where to start. First we booked our King room 4 months ago. When we arrive to check in (at 2:50pm) they told us that they overbooked and they were going to "upgrade" us to a room with 2 queen beds. My husband asked if there was a price difference (which we all know that the King is more expensive) and the guy at the desk said "yes there is but the difference is on us". The guy then told my husband that he could "see that we were already paid in full but he needed a credit card for incidentals". Of course this is a standard practice & we had no issues with that. We go to our room and the room was VERY moist. Air wasn't on and smelled gross. We decided that we are only staying 2 nights and we had already paid in advance so we would just go ahead and stay. I will say that we looked and the sheets and towels all looked clean. The next day we were out with friends (the reason we were there to visit) and my husband checked his credit card. The hotel charged (put a hold) our card for incidentals BUT also charged us an additional stay same as the cost for a queen room. We already paid for the King room 4 months ago. We gave up time on vacation to come back and talk to the manager who said that they could see that we paid but they hadn't received their money from Expedia so they had to charge us. They ran our card knowing that we already paid. We did receive the lesser charge (for the actual room we got) back. Will NEVER go back & our local friends will spread the word as well.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was clean but small and the bathroom was barely big enough to turn around in. Beds were comfortable. Food was just ok. It was an ok stay for one night for 2 people.
