We had a problem with the a/c we were moved to a different room. The bed was ok, the new a/c was just ok, I expected a more plush hotel, based in n the reviews, not so. Clean, breakfast was just fair.

Just ok

The staff was excellent. Room was dark and dated. Clean but needs some serious updates. Walls and tiles were kind of grungy.

Property was clean and well kept. Room looked recently renovated. Only complaint would be that the bed was a bit thin & hard. Not a lot of cushioning there. Not bad for one night, though. Might help to note if you have mobility issues - we were on the 1st floor & there did not appear to be an elevator, nor did we see a luggage cart or anywhere they might keep one.

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.
