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.

The hotel was clean and the staff was very kind. There was a hot breakfast with real plates and utensils. The building was smaller and a bit dated but it was a nice stay.

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.
