What guests think

Across reviews, Econo Lodge Sioux Center is praised for clean, comfortable rooms, friendly service, and value, delivering quiet stays; however, guests also report dated or worn areas, occasional maintenance issues, limited amenities such as no elevator, and inconsistent water pressure.

Breakfast is commonly described as good, with hot items, though variety and temperature are occasionally underwhelming. The location is convenient for Dordt University and nearby dining, and many guests would stay again. Expect a basic, well-kept budget stay with a few trade-offs.

This hotel has been well-maintained throughout the years. It is clean, the breakfast was well stocked, and check in & out were smooth. I was disappointed by no condotioner available, however I did not ask the front desk for any, either. Maybe they would have had some upon request, as they did with a toothbrush when I forgot that at home. The side.door entrance did not work with the room key, but parking was not far from the main entrance.

Location was great. The hotel was worn. Carpet is wrinkled and trees bare in places. The bed is hard and the pillows flatten out to the point you head is on the mattress.

This hotel is a good economic way to stay in Sioux Center. The breakfast was small but good. There is no elevator, but the building seemed clean and well maintained. Definitely worth your money.

Clean and comfortable! This is an older hotel, but it is maintained very well. Beds are super comfortable and everything was sparkling clean! My only complaint is that some of the breakfast items were barely warm (the hot water for tea, the eggs, sausages, etc) however there is a microwave in the breakfast area so I used that to heat up the water and food. Good selection of food though!! Will stay here again. Well priced for what you get compared to other hotels in town.

It was easy to get to, clean, great location for the reason I was there. It was a nice hotel for around $100. Staff were friendly. My only complaint was I couldn’t get the dead bolt to turn. I didn’t feel unsafe though because the top bar you flip worked.

I stayed in a room with a king sized bed, it was very spacious! Online, it didnt show it had a mini fridge & microwave, it did! So that was nice! The doors to get into the rooms are very heavy & are loud when shut! So that was a little noisy in the mornings when people were getting up. I also stayed in room 200- which is above the dinning area- so I could hear a lot. Oh & there was no elevator.

I have stayed here several times and have always been pleasantly surprised at how nice everything is. The rooms are always so clean and the beds are very comfortable. They have a recliner or chair/ottoman in every room, which is nice for relaxing. The rooms are large and have lots of space. Their customer service is the best thing about the hotel, though - everyone is always so friendly and makes you feel at home. They make conversation with you and seem to truly care about their visitors. All the other Dordt parents that I"ve talked to feel the same way.

There was always at least one person at the desk at all times of day and night and they answered so many questions I had about the hotel and also Sioux Center! Definitely will go back again

This stay was not at all what I was expecting. There are a lot of positive reviews written, so I was expecting an average but lower cost hotel. I was disappointed. The hotel was clean! However, it needs a lot of TLC. At check-in, I was left with the impression that I was bothering the desk worker. They appeared to have no desire to help us check-in. They gave us no information about the facility (i.e. breakfast, check-out time, best way to get to room, etc) Our heat/AC unit was so loud we couldn't sleep, we turned it off and could hear the conversation in the next room. Very thin walls. We had both and indoor and outdoor entrance to our room, leaving me with security concerns for our children. Our family will most likely not be staying here again.

The location of the hotel was convenient and the staff at the front desk were polite. However, I was very disappointed with the housekeeping service. The housekeeper was rude, gossiped about guests (including me), and did not clean the room properly. On top of that, the curtains were in poor condition and the bathtub was leaking and poorly maintained. This really affected my overall stay, which could have been much better with proper upkeep and professional service.
