The hotel is in a location where you will have easy access to the city, and was cheaper than a lot of the other hotels in the area. These are really its only selling points. We ended up getting a King room and it was a pretty good size, the bed was comfortable enough and the bathroom was a decent... More

We stayed here for 4 nights and it was ok. The room was big enough and clean enough if all you want to do is sleep there. The hot water in the shower is terrible, works sometimes doesn't work others... I believe as long as you don't want to shower in the morning (which everyone does) its ok. We had... More

My fiance and I stayed in a double beded room, because we were originally suppose to have another couple stay with us, but i'm glad we didn't, because room would have been very small and congested. Pros: Great location. Great breakfast. Friendly staff. Comfortable bed. Cons: The price we paid for hotel was overpriced. But it was during jazzfest and... More

The Cotton Exchange Hotel is in a national historic landmark building from 1871 that once housed forums for cotton trading. The ceilings are reeeeeally high, & our room was taller than it was wide! The location is great ... just a block & a half outside the French Quarter, with room-rates much lower than inside the Quarter. It's also near... More

You don't spend time in your room. You're out listening to live music, eating great food, and enjoying the great night life. Your room is just a spot to take a nap and have a shower. To that end, don't expect a super clean room both to begin and during with your stay. Our bathroom was clean-enough. In the room... More

The Cotton Exchange is an 8 floor hotel just a block from Canal Street, and turns into Bourbon Street- location for walking to the French Quarter and area is PERFECT! But the hotel itself is old, needs cleaning, repairs, carpet replacement, etc, etc. It is pretty inexpensive, but I have stayed at less expensive places in the world that are... More

We stayed here four nights and they were the most uncomfortable nights sleep I've ever had. It seemed they haven't changed their mattress in years. The maid service was a bit lacking, we asked for fresh towels and didn't receive them until the day of check out. The carpet seemed to never have been vacuumed. On the plus side, the... More

Great staff, quiet, clean, hotel with a fantastic location. I'm a frequent traveler, both for business and pleasure. I've been to New Orleans many times. This hotel was perfect for our trip and we'll definitely stay there again. I really don't understand why others have come in with some negative reviews, unless they usually stay in over-priced 5 star resorts.... More

Not too expensive, comfy room. Location is AWESOME if you want to visit the French Quarter, especially Bourbon Street. I slept in one day and by the time I took a shower, there was no hot water. And the bathrom had the strangest door. But the staff was very helpful and courteous and I had a good night's sleep. And... More

I wan to start by verifying a couple of things I read on a couple of other reviews. The water pressure and the temperature on the 8th floor was a joke. You would be better to grab your soap and shampoo and go to the pool! Also the walls are paper thin do if you have roudies next door good... More
