Adorable room that was super clean and right in the heart of Old Town. This hotel’s staff was very friendly and even got us checked in a little bit early. We loved our room and the coffee room in the morning!

We love this charming place. It's beautiful, clean, comfortable, and loaded with personality. It's right on the main drag, so you can walk to shops and restaurants, or hike next to the Verde River. My only caution is that you have to be fairly fit to climb the stairs if you're staying on the second floor. Make sure you request a ground-floor room if that's a problem. As for us, we will keep staying at our home away from home, the Iron Horse Inn.

Located in the heart of Cottonwood. Charming courtyard type motel with history. Updated rooms and bathrooms. Walking distance to restaurants/bars/shopping. Everything was perfect except the bed was a little uncomfortable. Not sure if it was just the room we stayed. Other than that parking is free, and 24hour complimentary , coffee/tea room (self serve). We will stay here again, and maybe try another room to see if the beds are different.

Loved our experience in Cottonwood. This hotel was perfectly located right in the heart of old-town. The room was small and the stairs were steep (we're in our 80's) but still made it up and down just fine. Next time we'll ask for a first floor room. Very clean and the bed was comfy. Can't go wrong with the price.
