We originally booked this home for a party of 13 and were assured it had adequate space - were not told it would be extremely cramped. Thankfully, four in our party ended up not staying with us - there is by no means enough proper bedding for a larger party and we still felt cramped with our smaller group (the kids slept upstairs in a converted attic, which would not warm up well and I have serious doubts was properly permitted).
The nickel-and-diming was a nice bonus, too. Watch for the pointless surcharge of $25/person per night above a certain number (didn’t seem the house expanded to accommodate us, so not sure what we paid for), the - wait for it - coin-operated laundry machines and keep eyes on your security deposit. We were charged an inordinate amount for some grease marks or something on - wait for it again - Fieldcrest sheets. After several attempts at follow-up with the owner (including asking to just call that even because the water heater was turned to low - cold showers on Thanksgiving morning for everyone!), he went silent after repeated follow-ups.
If there was a Ritz in Sioux Falls, would recommend staying there for the same amount. But.....save some (by some, I mean tons of) money and find a great hotel. Sure, you’ll miss out on the gorgeous early 1990’s decor here, but enjoy the pool (it’ll probably be warmer than our first showers), free breakfast and the cash you’ll save.
Extra star for the history of the home. And willow tree. Who doesn’t love willow trees?
