The Spotlight on The Dakota

Comfort Meets Convenience in Sioux Falls

Modern yet cozy, The Dakota is a 3-star hotel located just northwest of downtown Sioux Falls, offering a peaceful escape while keeping you connected to the city's lively music and entertainment scene. With a welcoming vibe, fresh and functional rooms, and thoughtful amenities like an indoor pool, hot tub, and fitness center, it's a solid home base for your concert weekend.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re less than 10 minutes from many of Sioux Falls' top venues, and just 2.5 miles from Sioux Falls Regional Airport—great for fans flying in for a show. The hotel’s quiet garden setting is perfect for decompressing after a loud night out. Bonus: free parking and a shared lounge for post-show hangouts. While check-in starts at 3:00 PM, the front desk is helpful and flexible when availability allows.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends needing space and budget-friendly comfort
- Solo travelers flying in for that once-in-a-lifetime concert
- Couples planning a relaxed weekend getaway
- Fans needing a quiet place to recharge after the encore
- Budget-conscious music lovers who still want quality amenities

Food and Drink Options

While there isn’t a full-service restaurant on-site, each room includes a fridge, and there are barbecue facilities for DIY dining. The shared lounge is great for snacks or takeout. Several fast-casual and sit-down eateries are just a short drive away, and the front desk can recommend late-night spots. Breakfast options are available nearby for sleeping-in mornings after a late night.

Nightlife Options

Although The Dakota doesn’t host its own live music, you’re just minutes from downtown bars and lounges where you can catch local acts or enjoy craft cocktails. If you prefer to keep things mellow, the hotel’s lounge and garden area are ideal for winding down.

What People Say

Guests rave about the cleanliness, friendly staff, and peaceful atmosphere. Travelers love the indoor pool and hot tub after a cold night concert, and the free parking is a major plus. The rooms are described as modern, spacious, and reliable with strong WiFi.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers mentioned that there’s no on-site restaurant or bar, so plan ahead for meals. A few guests noted the lack of elevators, so if stairs are an issue, request a ground-floor room.

The Bottom Line

With its quiet vibe, solid amenities, and easy access to Sioux Falls venues, The Dakota is a smart and stress-free choice for music fans looking to balance energy with relaxation.

Liked: The rooms, breakfast and staff were amazing. The little court yard could use some updating but was peacful and beautiful to sit in. The beds were more comfortable than we expected and we were very pleased with this!! Also, LOVED having a normal sized garbage can in our room. :)
Disliked: The pool and hot tub were down while we were there. It would have been nice to be able to use them. Courtyard was a bit over grown and the furnitue was dated/tatered. (still a beautiful space)

Pleasant

Liked: Location was good,
Disliked: window cracked in our room, room was very dark, hallway was not clean, pool was out of order. I'm not sure if tis a pandemic thing or a lack of tourists to the area but the property is in desperate need of some TLC. Not structurally but aesthetically, small things like painting and patching walls, yard maintenance on the courtyard, etc. It takes money and staff to do the kind of maintenance that the hotel needs so i do hope they can put this in order.
