The linens and towels had stains. Thd red cover looked disgusting. The sink took along time to drain, almost clogged. The shower is small and was too scared to use tub. Grout coming off tile. The ice machine broken. You could hear car doors. Expensive fir what you got. Air rattles which helped outside noise once you got used to it.

The best room ever

The people were very friendly. The room was very clean. The bed was comfortable. The refrigerator worked very well. We liked the room better than the Beau Rivage in Biloxi MS. We will be staying at the Cottonwood Inn again.

Great option for a low price!

I grew up in Salem and there’s not much of an option available. Came into town for a funeral. The Cottonwood has a history of not being the best. But I was pleasantly surprised! For the rate you are paying it was actually pretty great! Room was clean and ready at arrival. Linens were nice, bed was comfy. I chose the room with a kitchenette and it suited my needs. Breakfast provided, small but adequate. I would gladly stay here again.

We checked into motel only to find live bedbugs! We went staff and showed them the bugs and they didnt want to believe us at first , they did finally admit it was indeed a bedbug and switched us to another room. We had no choice but to stay there as there was no other openings anywhere and nothing under 40 minutes away , let alone it was after 10 pm in the evening . We had just finished a full days travel and were exhausted. We were highly disappointed

Beware!! Bedbugs and cockroaches!!

Thankfully, I always check rooms at all places my family and I stay in prior to taking in any luggage, etc bc my kids and I were unable to stay at the cottonwood inn as planned due to a huge presence of flies throughout the room when we walked in, bedbug feces on both boxsprings and a cockroach crawling on the wall behind the door as we were leaving before even being in the room for 5 mins. I have rightfully so asked for a refund and even tho I have pics to prove the presence of the bedbugs and the cockroach, I have been denied a refund from hotels.com bc the owner of the Inn will not respond to any messages or calls sent by hotels.com or myself to verify that a refund can be given bc it’s at their discretion, although the woman working when we left said hotels.com would have to issue the refund. Do yourself a favor and don’t book a room at this place and if you do, check the room out WELL before taking anything in! Due to the room being infested, my kids and I had to drive an additional 30 mins after driving all day on our first day of vacation to find another hotel, which cost me another $150 I wasn’t planning to spend on our family vacation.

Beds were clean which is my main concern. Was glad about that. Rest of the room could be cleaned better. Under the beds were pretty dirty. Just some more fine tune cleaning and bits of updating would be what could be better. Front dest lady was awesome! Very kind and helpful. Would stay again for the price.

Not the best, had better hotel stays before

The first room we were put in, the refrigerator was barely cooling our perishable items. The air conditioner was barely cooling the room. Bathroom was dirty, with stains in the tub, and the floors throughout the room was dirty. There was a smell in the room. The door was hard to open when we first went in, and it didnt fewl very secure, with only a chain to secure the door. The bottom part automatically locks when you shut it,but it still didnt feel very secure. Stayed 2 nights, but after 1st night, we contemplated getting a refund & finding a different hotel. Thwres not many options in the area. We talked to 1 lady working that day who was cleaning rooms, mentioning the poor conditions. We slept poorly 1st night &woke up sweating because of the a/c. It looked as if it was broken on vent. The curtains hung down from the window above it, partially covered the vents. I made sure to move the curtains out of the way. The other rooms she showed us werent much better than the 1sr one. Some had no refrigerator at all, & others had refrigerators that were the same as the 1st room. Finally found one that was better, but stilll was not that great but the a/c worked much better and the refrigerator worked a little bit better as well. The showerhead was really low and made it uncomfortable taking a shower, it drained slowly and the water pressure wasnt great. The breakfast was not great either, not much of a selection:bagels, toast, dry cereal, oatmeal packets, milk ,OJ, and coffee
