I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and bright the facility was. Far better than I expected for such a reasonable rate. The staff at check in was not just friendly but made you feel like a welcome guest. I have not received as warm of a reception at even a five star hotel. If my work or leisure travels include a trip to the South Sioux City area in the future I will look for no other place to stay than this hotel.

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.

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.

Disliked: Amenities
It was an ok stay for one night. The employees were very friendly and check in/out was easy. Beds weren't very comfortable, floor was dirty, water pressure/temperature control in the shower was awful, and breakfast wasn't very good. The eggs were cold and the waffles tasted like cardboard. We wouldn't stay here again.

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.
