Disgusting

Horrible room!! So not believe the gods reviews. Large black spiders, a fist sized hole in the wall, carpet filthy and torn, the smell of the room was nauseating, one light didn't work, the tv wouldn't come on and stains on the bed. We left without staying.

Constructive criticism

Deep cleaning desperately needed. Linens need replaced as they are thin and stained. No hot water for shower. Front desk was pleasant though.

The Cottonwood is great. But your system booked me for checkin a day later and it cheated me out of 50 dollars plus to correct the date. I’m not happy with Expedia.

We definitely will be back!

After a bad day traveling, we arrived at 9 PM to find the young lady sitting outside waiting on us. She checked us in quickly so we could get to our room and finally relax. We had a slight issue with our room and when I called the desk the next morning that young lady instantly offered a different room. It's the 1st time I didn't even have to ask. Almost every room was occupied, but there was no noise, not even traffic since the Inn sets up a hill. It's not perfect. It could use a little updating, but the super friendly staff and the incredible quiet made me not care. We'll be back!
