Not a Bed and Breakfast. The kitchen was available to make your own with your own food. Originally was looking for a Bed and Breakfast. It popped up that way in the online search. We ate out. Fabulous restaurants nearby. Nobody was there, but the owner kept in touch through texts and emails. Bring your own passwords to streaming networks or cannot access them. Late check-in, should be given a couple of hours earlier. Time too short. Alot of rules to read, but understandably so for such a place! Beautiful!

Beautiful antique house and decor. The location was great for access to downtown where there are many shops and restaurants. Comfortable room and bed. Right next to Pettigrew House/Museum. But it wasn't open during the hours we were there. Peaceful. It's located in the Historic District, so it was fun to drive around and look at all the houses. Reasonable price. Thanks to the owners for this undertaking in historical restoration!

Nothing in particular

We enjoy staying in accommodation that is unique, and the Historic Victoria Inn is unique.

The house waa interesting and intriguing. The bed was comfortable.

These certainly are not 'didn't likes.' They are just things to be aware of. There was no staff or person onsite, but the person who manages this house is very communicative. I happened to be the only person in the place at the time. As a single female traveler, sometimes it is just nice to know if there will be other people in the house or not. The staircase might be a challenge for someone who is not too mobile, or if you have a heavy bag.

It's clean, maintained, and just a fun place to stay. The kitchen has been updated, which was a bonus. There was coffee in the room and there were ample high quality towels (this was such a treat!). The house itself is just charming, but I am a fan of old homes. The downstairs sitting area is easy to hangout in and enjoy. The wrap around porch is just calling for you to enjoy it. I would not hesitate to stay here again!

Communication leading up to the stay could've been better. I had a couple questions (sent via text and email) that got ignored until day of the stay.

Location is excellent. Barely a 7 minute walk to downtown. The smart lock check in mad3 everything very easy

Fire escape needs attention

Did not like getting a notice of a $300 rental security deposit charge after we booked and paid for the room. Not our cup of tea having to share a bathroom with other people. My husband wish he had a chair in our room which was really small. The door on our room squeaked everytime we opened and closed it.

Love the look of the house inside and out. Bed was really comfy for me not so much my husband. Value for what we paid was nice

The bed was very high and not to my taste because I like a soft bed.

It was a nice neighborhood and the house was 135 years old. It was like staying in an old time mansion

Beautiful setting in very traditionally and elegantly appointed Victorian home. Nice touches, clear instructions for use, check in and check out and great neighborhood close to walking distance of downtown

The 3rd party registration process was redundant, and overly complex. Numerous annoying emails with too many details.. SIMPLIFY and eliminate redundancy. There was no staff that we saw.

House, room, location, decor location, and guests.

I really enjoyed the smell of history. The old furniture for example.

Now the bad. I booked this place through booking.com. it was listed as non-refundable which I didn't have issues with. What I did have issue with is that after the non-refundable booking we were sent several emails. One was for a security deposit of $300 in case of damage to the room, another was requesting the full names, emails & phone #'s of all adults staying there and yet another one was to sign a rental agreement and list house rules. All of this should have been listed on booking com before purchase. To make matters worse we were supposed to get a door code sent via email before our stay and it did not arrive. When we got there another guest was also outside waiting to get in and he had been there for 2hrs. Luckily we only had to wait about a half hr after calling management before getting let in. The manager was very nice & did apologize for the inconvenience and said he had had issues with some texts not going through. So to sum things up this is a very nice place to stay but more details needed to be given upfront about the extra money hold and extra information needed. Since the booking is nonrefundable if the person couldn't afford an extra $300 of their money held up (even for a few days) they would have been out of luck for the original non-refundable fee.

First the good stuff. The inside of the property itself was absolutely stunning. We stayed in the gold suite on the 1st floor and the property itself exceeded expectations.

No breakfast. Bed was a bit hard

Loved the location.

Stayed in July 2023

The room was quite dark and the very Victorian decor a little oppressive - while it was grand to have a washer and dryer the credit card function didn’t work very well - there were maybe a few too many steps to check in though everything was clearly explained

The location was great for seeing Sioux Falls - within walking distance of the river and downtown - the house is on a street of other historic houses which are fun to see - there is a washing machine and dryer on the premises which was a great boon - the hosts recommendations for things to do especially restaurants were excellent

Beautiful restored home. I booked last minute and Steve (the owner) was a great help. Lots of common space to relax and meet other people. Location was nuce quiet area. Blue Room was perfect for my one night stay. Would be perfect for more if needed.

If the deposit will not be requested and sending a million messages a day will be stopped, it will be 10/10.

The place is beautiful. It's worth traveling to South Dakota just to see it. A real architectural peace of art. The owners take great care of it and protect it, a lot of attention to detail.

Location was great and quick access to downtown.

The security deposit requirement was unusual but not really a deterrent as I assume it was created for good reason. The location was near downtown but for older folks like us not really just steps away due to the hilly terrain to downtown.

Loved the huge front porch with swing and on-site laundry facilities. The room was comfortable and clean. The host was very communicative via text and came over in person to address an issue with the laundry room. It was nice to park in back via an alley.

I liked everything mostly

It is classic, old but very well preserved and beautiful to look at.

All door knobs were loose and felt like they'd rip off the door any moment, shower in second floor wasn't usable, had to draw a bath

Beautiful Victorian home

The check-in/check-out process process was entirely virtual (by text); once I figured that out, it was great.

This a beautifully restored and decorated property in the historic heart of Sioux Falls, with all modern amenities.

Had to call for code because phone was dead. No one at the Bed And Breakfast to help personally.

It was beautiful and very nice.
