Help! Anybody have any experience at the Cotton Exchange Hotel in New Orleans?
We have reservations for Labor Day weekend, for $73.00 a night! The hotel looks beautiful on the website, but experience has shown us that appearances can be deceiving. Has anyone stayed there and can give us feedback? Thank you so much!

I found a couple of old reviews that say the hotel tends to overbook and may not honor reservations; does anyone on this board have any personal experience with the hotel who can confirm or deny this? Thanks!!

The hotel doesn't have a great reputation locally but I must add that I've never personally been inside the property. I, too, have read that the hotel has not honored reservations and/or moved people to sister hotels miles away from the French Quarter. Check tripadvisor.com. Maybe they have some newer reviews. Sorry I couldn't be more help!!

Yes, I do live in New Orleans. Went to school here (Tulane) and worked as a concierge. Now work for a non-tourism company downtown, just a couple of blocks from the Cotton Exchange Hotel. I'll check it out one day!

We have reservations there for 5 nights the first week of November. I have been reading the reviews on TripAdvisor and those people are scaring me to death! Some people on TripAdvisor state that the Cotton Exchange is the same as the Holiday Inn and share personnel, arrive to find they have no reservations, horrible service, nasty rooms and no amentites. Can those of you who are local check this out for us? Much appreciated!!
