Always a pleasant stay.

I'm in the Sioux City area 1-2 times/year and the Cottonwood is my go-to place to stay. Rooms are always very nice, friendly staff, and great breakfast options are included. Won't find a nicer stay at this price point.

One night stay

Clean room with a comfortable bed and wonderful pillows. Great hours for breakfast, but staff did not check/refill things. One staff person came in and looked at the coffee level, but did not start a new pot nor check the food level (lack of biscuits) and gravy that looked like it had been sitting for hours. We were not impressed, but luckily there were make your own waffles.

This was a horrible experience I made my reservation after I searched the area I wanted my reservation made it made the reservation in a whole different town and I called y’all. You tried to call the motel. They said the woman was very rude and said no exception on canceling even though I had just five minutes ago made the reservation. Your people said the woman was very rude to them and would not allow them to talk to a supervisor or a manager I can’t wait to give this place a review. I don’t think they’re gonna like it too much. I’m not sure that I’m going to be very comfortable using your services again thank you.

The hotel was dated but clean and comfortable. The bathroom and been updated as had the lighting and electrics. The staff was friendly and happy to move me to a room with a desk. There are not any good dining options near by so advance planning is s good idea.

The room was clean and the price was right, it’s in a quiet and safe location, close to the highway. It is a little bit difficult to find it at night, the signage is low profile, compared to most motels. We will definitely stay there again on our travels back-and-forth from Oklahoma to North Dakota.

This hotel was spacious and clean with a great staff. I would stay there again. The price was half the price of all the other hotels in the area but very comparable to other hotels I have stayed and paid twice as much.
