Superb

Very pleasant, my grandsons enjoyed...

Liked: I have stayed at 5 different hotels in Sioux Falls, this Holiday Inn Express was by far the best one yet.
Disliked: Grab bars in the bathroom, especially in the shower would be helpful. I’m in my 60’s but far from disabled. It’s still easy to lose my balance and having something to hold onto makes me feel more secure.
