I booked a weekend at the Cotton Mansion, and I must say I was relieved. Everyone told me to stay at a place on Canal park or around, but the Cotton Mansion was perfect. It's elegant inside and very clean. Each general area room is inviting, well-lit and comfortable. My room was beautiful, well-equipped and cozy. There was plenty of space to store my belongings, a large TV (which I never used but was a nice add) plus a large jacuzzi, which I did use! The staff were friendly and helpful. The place is well-secured and is located in a family-friendly neighborhood off the busy tourist hubs. That being said, everything I wanted to see/experience was a brief driving distance from the mansion. Also, included in my room were plenty of complimentary items like a hair dryer, makeup wipes, bottled water and snacks. Give this place a try, you'll be happy you did!
