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 value
Great value for the price - but you get what you pay for. Very quiet location. A lot of work has been done to make the place attractive. A/C worked great.

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

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.
