The Southern Hotel was wonderful, clean and fun. Check-in and check-out were simple and the staff was very friendly. The ONLY complaint is the parking situation.
Thank you for a wonderful weekend!
Cutest hotel. Not your normal chain hotel. Beautiful foyer and side rooms, pretty outdoor area and cute bathrooms. Clean, comfy and appealing. Staff is friendly and helpful, bar service is quick and everyone attentive.
Room was normal hotel size but had a exposed brick wall which was nice. Bathroom large with a window. Bed was comfortable.
Only negative was the coffee pot in room- didn’t work as it should. But got coffee in the bar area.
Would definitely stay here again. The hotel and people make you feel as special.
This hotel is truly a gem! Highly recommend for its friendly staff and lovely setting. Walking distance to great coffee and restaurants in downtown Covington.
The hotel was beautiful but there was a wedding the night we stayed there. The bar and sitting areas were packed so we didn't get to enjoy them. We did eat at the restaurant and it was very good.
Our last night of adventures in Louisiana! We enjoyed the cool, clean, quiet comfort of the Southern. Staff was so kind and professional, and we loved the detail and elegance of this hotel.
