I was at the Sheraton NOLA. I checked out at 9AM and went to another hotel (where work people were at - mandatory). In the evening, I was walking back from my meeting and had not eaten all day and was very thirsty. I walked past the Sheraton and decided to see if I could get in the club lounge. I went into the hotel, up to the front desk, and told them my story. They gave me a key to the club lounge and said to go nuts. Great service. They did not have to do that.

PS.. the food up there is AWESOME. Thats why I tried. It's not the run-of-the-mill club lounge food.
