"I have a thing for historic hotels and having grown up in Sioux City, the restoration of the Warrior from the decrepit fire hazard of my youth to a gem is nothing short of amazing. The Art Deco period details are spot on and my double queen room was sumptuously comfortable. I would have appreciated a selection of pillows, as mine was a giant brick in a pillowcase. The kind desk clerk told me (the next morning and too late!) that other pillows are available, so be sure to ask or bring your own! While I loved the soundtrack of 1920’s jazz hits in the common areas, a few days of this would feel like being an extra in “The Shining”. I peeked around corners to make sure no identical twins were watching.
Downtown Sioux City is a bit threadbare, not the bustling and prosperous place of my youth with 2 Younkers stores and lots of specialty shops. If you are walking, it is best to go towards the river (there are some good breakfast/coffee places and the Court Avenue/4th Street area is cool).
The Warrior is a good value for such a lovely hotel. I was impressed with the cleanliness—even the pool and hot tub were spotless. While I haven’t eaten in the restaurant, it is beautiful. Next time!"
