Very cute property from the outside, desperately in need of remodeling inside. Very clean room but the deadbolt didn’t work, both beds were jacked up-I don’t know if the frame was broken or if the mattress was just lumpy and crappy. My favorite feature was the gazebo that connects the 3 buildings. It was very nice to sit out and enjoy the evening.

I didn't realize the place had breakfast but I got up to go have brunch at my final destination nearby. I was familiar with this area and generally knew the place but I never stayed there. For a very small, maybe independently owned motel in literally one of the smallest towns, you could find it was pretty nice and as clean as you would expect, the mattress actually seemed brand new. The sheets did have a few granules or something on it and small hole alomost like a cigarette burn. I don't know if I'll ever go through there again.But if I needed to I could stay there 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.

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.

I have stayed here a few times. Very disappointed in my last and final stay there. Started off with a wait at check in desk.(no attendant). Room was clean. But this room had no curtains and broken blinds. Floor boards are broken. Then in the morning I went to take a shower and the shower was broke. I wish I could attach pics!!!
