American Budget Lodge - Sioux Falls Inn

it's a dump, what more can I say?

This was not as nice as
I was expecting.

The hotel was old. We were given a non-smoking room but the key/card wouldn't work on the door so we had to take a smoking room.

Drove up and windows in rooms were open, no screens. Outside was poorly presented, not landscaped, run down looking. Folding table in lobby for internet computer. Poor banquet tables and chairs in lobby for continental breakfast. Staff was poorly dressed and not good representation or very inviting. Got in room, shower steady leaking, tile around cold water faucet missing and can see into wall, fan in bathroom hummed and didn't work. Door to bathroom was so close to stool one almost had to stand in tub to open the door. Door frame to room was loose so couldn't shut door till you physically pushed it over. TV, with sound on the speaker was blown and had a bell ringing sound in speaker. No remote till owner brought one down after me having to go to desk to get one. Frame work around window coming off, can tell there was water damage either from window being left open and/or leaking. The sink was right inside the door and separate from the stool and tub. Laminate coming off, hardly any towels. read more

Service was ok, could have been a little cleaner, continental breakfast could have had more selection, location was very convenient for what we were there for.

Staff stood outside lobby and smoked. The rooms were old, and dirty, blanket on bed had stains. Not a good location because of noise level, traffic noise. They did have wireless there and the breakfast was plentiful and had a good assortment!

Upon arrival they didn't have correct room types. Wanted to split us up into three singles. Bad idea as we were traveling with children under the age of five. Also, breakfast would have been better not offered. Inept offerings from rooms to food at breakfast. Hotel smelled of moisture and was not clean.

Upon pulling up to our hotel for the night, we knew we were in for trouble. There were weeds all over the outside and screens pulled out of the windows and left leaning against the building; it just looked generally uncared for. The room itself was very outdated. This would not have been an issue if it was clean. I refused to sleep under the covers. When we woke in the morning, we couldn't get out of there fast enough. Upon further inspection, our lamp shade had a huge stain on it, the alarm clock wasn't even plugged into the wall (and couldn't be if we tried) the TV remote and at least one spot on the wall and a slimy sticky substance on it. When we pulled the sheets back (to verify that we made the right decision not sleeping under them) there was actual dirt on the sheets. The shower wasn't horrible, if you don't mind standing water as you shower. The lobby was disgusting in the morning. They offer breakfast. The coffee was not brewing and tasted awful, the waffle maker was caked in cooked on batter and the counters were greasy and dirty. As I got close enough to see all of the filth, I actually slipped on a greasy spot on the floor. No one outside of our group seemed to notice anything a miss however. I would under no circumstances recommend this hotel to anyone! Absolutely disgusting! read more
