We had a very nice stay. Nicely updated rooms and beds were comfy. The only downside was the limited continental breakfast. This is the first ‘breakfast included’ hotel that didn’t have yogurt. Other than that it was a great stay for a reasonable price.
Friendly staff,good access to South Sioux and Sioux City as well as I-29.

The walls were pretty thin so we had to knock to get our neighbors to turn down the TV volume and shower curtain did not block water so the floor was soaked. Super nice staff though!

You get what you pay for - the location was not the best and breakfast options were poor.
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.
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.
Parking was not a problem and we were greeted warmly at the front desk. We had a meeting at 7:00 at a different location and came back for breakfast . The staff was friendly and we enjoyed eating before they closed.
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.
