I stayed for twon nights and was happy with the room and very happy with the location. I was concerned because of all of the negative reviews I had read but was pleasantly suprised. The room was clean, there was hot water for the shower, and the location is great. I will stay at The Cotton Exchange again.

I stayed here for 5 days and had a cold shower 4 out of the 5 days. I'm not sure how I got lucky the 1 time I did.

The hotel is not bad if you are super low maintenance. Don't expect housekeeeping to make the bed. You will get wash cloth sized towels and super thin sheets.

This the first time that I have stayed in an hotel where the bed was not made, room was dirty, but bathroom was cleaned up, suggesting sheer negligence on behalf of housekeeping and management. The toilet was making a loud noise too, which was not there for the first 2 days. When I asked the guy at the front desk, Charles Jupiter, to get the room made, his grand solution was "we will give you the sheets and you do it yourself". The service here is dismal, and no constructive solution was proposed. I strongly recommend people from not wasting their money here. Moreover, the rooms are dingy, dark and the corridors are smelly. BTW, I am still waiting for the sheets...

I look forward to returning to the Cotton Exchange Hotel. The staff are very friendly and Tahira and the other front desk folks were very helpful. I came for a convention and had a nice walk to the convention center every day. The location is great and in a safe neighborhood and it's an interesting old building. I read a couple of negative reviews before coming, but my experience was different than that of those visitors. My room was clean and recently renovated and I did not notice the elevator being slow. There must be strong word of mouth knowledge about this nice, friendly affordable hotel, because it seemed to be nearly full. I highly recommend The Cotton Exchange.
