The Spotlight on Econo Lodge North

Budget-Friendly Base Near Sioux Falls’ Music Scene

The Econo Lodge North is a no-frills, comfortable hotel located just minutes from downtown Sioux Falls and the city’s top performance venues. With cozy rooms, friendly service, and easy access to the Sioux Falls Regional Airport and W.H. Lyon Fairgrounds, this hotel is a convenient home base for travelers catching a concert in town.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is just a short drive from several key entertainment venues, including the Sioux Falls Arena and the Washington Pavilion of Arts & Sciences. It's also only two miles from the airport, making late-night arrivals or early-morning departures a breeze. While the hotel sits in a quieter part of town, it’s close enough to the action to be convenient—without the downtown noise. The free Wi-Fi and indoor pool are nice perks for winding down post-show.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking to split an affordable room
Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime show
Couples planning a low-key weekend getaway
Fans who want a peaceful place to crash after the encore
Budget-conscious music lovers who care more about the concert than a fancy lobby

Food and Drink Options

The hotel offers a free continental breakfast—great for slow mornings after late nights. While there’s no on-site restaurant, there are several fast-casual dining spots and cocktail lounges just a short drive away. For midnight cravings, consider nearby 24-hour diners or bring your own snacks to store in the mini-fridge and microwave available in select rooms.

Nightlife Options

While the Econo Lodge North itself doesn’t feature a bar or live music, you’re only a quick ride from downtown Sioux Falls where bars, lounges, and late-night venues offer craft drinks and a local vibe. Head to a nearby pub after the show or wind down at a chill cocktail lounge.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, the hotel’s overall cleanliness, and the unbeatable value for the price. Visitors often mention how convenient the location is—close to the airport and several event venues. The pool and hot tub are also popular, especially for those looking to relax after a night of standing and dancing.

Areas for Improvement

While it’s a great deal, the hotel’s décor and amenities are fairly basic. Some guests report that the building could use a few updates, and that the walls are a bit thin—so pack earplugs if you're a light sleeper. Still, it’s clean, safe, and solid for the price.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for an affordable, comfortable place to rest between shows, Econo Lodge North is a smart choice for concert-goers in Sioux Falls.

Bad

Liked: Nothing.
Disliked: This was absolutely horrible. As soon as we walked in from outside it smelled of marijuana all evening. Disgusting. Walked into the room it smelled of cigarettes. A man sat outside the door and drank hard liquor until late. In the morning at 9am a man was drinking beer semi harassing us as we loaded the car. And, the TV was on the wall, the cords and box were hanging down from behind the TV. The worst experience ever!

Affordable and convenient. Good place...

Liked: Great location. Comfortable and easy stop for a few nights. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Indoor pool.
Disliked: Pool was cold for our preference. Disappointed that the hot tub didn’t work. Breakfast were very basic. These are more neutral points than negative though.

Poor

Disliked: Several weeks, I called to extend my stay by one day. Whoever answered the phone said it wasn't a problem. 2 weeks and 1 week before I would arrive, I asked the same question and got the same answer. We had to check out a day early. I talked to several staff but they wanted us to leave. They gave us 20 minutes to pack everything up. Mind you we were there for 2 weeks. We will not be coming back in the future. We only got housekeeping 2 times per week. When asking for towels in the evening, they didn't have any or in the morning

It was a roof over...

Liked: It was close off the highway, it was a cheaper pet friendly hotel
Disliked: The place was run down, bedspread had a burn hole in it. The hotel smelled. Most everything hasn’t been updated in 30+ years. The pool was closed and that was a big reason we wanted to stay there.
