We stayed there for the Super Bowl. The hotel was in a nice quaint city about 45 minutes from New Orleans. There was plenty of restaurants and grocery stores nearby. The hotel was very pretty. We loved the old fashioned feel. It was very clean and decorated nicely. I would recommend.

Beautiful hotel in a lovely historic town- everything in walking distance. Melissa makes the best cocktails too
We loved The Southern Hotel so much that we rebooked another stay on our way back home! You can also tell the locals love it too because many were there for cocktail hour!

Lovely Stay as always
It's a lovely gem of a hotel that never disappoints when ever we stay there. For the price it's the best value out there for hotels on this level. The restaurant and bar is also lovely, with great food. It's in the center of Covington so you can walk everywhere.
One one complaint is the off site gym, which was a bit down and out, compared to the hotel and you have to walk to another building behind the hotel.
