The Warrior Hotel, Autograph Collection - Sioux City, Iowa

Emily

Honestly, this hotel is a let down. As many other reviews have stated, you expect more for five stars. The main areas were average, but as soon as we got into our room, the floor was not clean and the bathroom smelled. All around, housekeeping was poor. The pool had stacks of dirty towels in various areas, the bowling alley is nice but again not the cleanest overall. Staff are good but not outstanding. Also... the amenities just aren't there. Online makes it look like room service is available, but isn't. While the hotel is great and unique for Sioux City, falls short.

Parking is limited but free, so okay.

Location is walkable, but as with most cities, down town includes the transient population, so be aware of this and stay cautious/aware.

The pull out bed is memory foam, so that is great.

Edited to add- closet light was burned out and completely out of conditioner in shower.

Great rooms, service & food. Be sure to use your Marriott Bonvoy points, if you've got them. Loved the art-deco & aviary themed decor. We had the Butter cake & filet in the restaurant; fantastic! Our room was so comfy & quiet! Great antique stores close by, too. The best night's rest I've had in weeks. Highly recommend.

A truly remarkable property and exceptional experience. I had high expectations but The Warrior exceeded them. The place somehow looks even better in person vs. the photos which almost never happens.

They really did an amazing job modernizing the hotel while hanging on to the original design and details. The rooms are spacious and comfortable while the common areas are stylish and welcoming.

The only downside was that the bowling alley and pool area were too packed with badly behaved children to enjoy, but that’s not the hotel’s fault. Maybe make that level adults only after a certain hour?

Either way, I’ll definitely be back!

We had been waiting for several months to enjoy a staycation experience at the Warrior. Unfortunately there were some major disappointments. It was a Sunday evening so not busy but they had been sold out over the weekend and there was a big wedding and they were obviously short staffed. At 4:30 in the afternoon upon check-in the grand staircase was very dirty with debris from the wedding flowers. We had to wait several minutes before the desk clerk showed up to check us in. We were looking forward to bowling after being reassured we would be able to bowl but then were told there was an "event" booked for the bowling ally. No event was taking place and it was obviously simply closed. Food from the restaurant was good. Room was great.

This hotel is exquisite. I stay at hotels about 3 weeks a month and am truly impressed. The hotel makes you feel like you just walked into high society in 1935. Everything is beautiful. The marble staircase, intricate designed ceiling, birds in the lobby etc... The room is really pretty with comfortable beds, TV in the bathroom mirror, heated toilet seats, separate bathtub and shower, marble counter in bathroom, and a nice big TV. The staff is very professional and courteous.

Our room was very impressive! The bathroom was the most impressive I have ever been in!
My grandchildren enjoyed the swimming pool and bowling ally while we were able to visit in the area with other adults.
The coffee!!!! We were at The Warrior on my birthday, we had breakfast at the hotel! The coffee was AMAZING!!! The service was great! I look forward to visiting The Warrior again!!

Top notch service, from the complimentary hot tub and pool use to the tasty glass of champagne offered just before my 2-hour bliss! So very relaxing, and Briana did an absolute thorough job. Thank you for a memorable afternoon! Topped it off with a drink at The Crown and dinner in Woodbury's. Excellent!

We arrived and our the room we reserved was ‘no longer available’ due to being overbooked. There are four of us so we needed two beds. The reservation stated 4 people. My first option she gave me, was a king bed. Really? 4 of us sleep in a bed together? I don’t understand the point of a reservation if it doesn’t, reserve the room I chase. Why was it given to someone else? I also pre-paid so they held onto my money for 6 weeks for nothing, outside of making interest on my money. We were offered an ‘upgrade’ to a pull out couch. Fortunately it’s two 15 year old boys who are flexible but I’m not happy with not getting what I reserved. We also picked this destination because it has destination chargers for our EV vehicle. It’s the only way we can continue on our travels is to charge over night. We were told ‘they aren’t working and haven’t been for several weeks’. For this reason we had to fly out of bed in the am and go sit at a grocery store, waiting to charge our car for 30 minutes. I would have loved to sit and have breakfast at what looked like a beautiful restaurant. For these two reasons, I gave a 3 star. The place is beautiful and the front desk women was pleasant, however offering a king bed to 4 fully grown people is ridiculous. Or 4 people of any size. Especially when you state you are a 5 star hotel.
