I loved the history behind the building it was a beautiful hotel that he’s to be a courthouse
George
Excellent hotel. Great stay! Only concern I have is not being able to adjust the thermostat on the air conditioner.
Chad
Great hotel !!
Sharon
Nice rooms. Very pretty pool area and common area.
Mary-Alison
The Southern Hotel is our new favorite place. Everything was above par.One of the desk clerks was interested in history. My great grandfather opened The Southern Hotel as a hospital in the early 1900s. Later building \"The Fenwick Sanatarium\" she had read about it. Her interest made me feel special.
The restaurant was excellent, my husband couldn't stop talking about how good the Shrimp and grits were. We live in \"Cajun\" country and are known for our food. This bested it and the presentation was perfect.

Waking distance to everything in the historical district. Staff was very friendly and professional. Rooms were clean and comfortable.
Mallory
Amazing property and stunning views!
Tim
When we checked in the staff on duty were not very friendly. Almost snooty like. The lobby and grounds of the hotel were beautiful but our room was the very last room on the 2nd hall of the 2nd floor it overlooked the HVAC system. We booked this room months ago so I thought we would have had a much better view. The lady on staff working the morning after we arrived was very kind and helpful.

The Southern Hotel is a marvelous place to spend your time while traveling. It is a beautiful property which is well maintained and a staff that is friendly and efficient. Rooms are comfortable and nicely appointed. The restaurant and bar are very worth a visit with good atmosphere and very friendly staff. I recommend the Southern Hotel very highly.
Kaitlin
Beautiful hotel in historic covington downtown. Walking distance to lots of shops and restaurants
David
Entire stay was wonderful
Casie
The property is full of Southern charm and it’s worth the visit. The only issue I ran into was the room I was in had a wet dog smell. Not sure if they allow pets or if they experienced water damage. All of this to say, I would visit again. It’s very close to everything you need in town.
Ruth
Clean rooms. Excellent staff
Michelle
The front desk staff and bar staff was extremely rude and unhelpful. There was little to no eye contact and front desk lady was on her phone while checking me (us) in. When I asked about the fire pit on the patio to be turned on, I was told it was not the season for it however, another couple was sitting by a fire on the other side of the courtyard. I feel we were discriminated against due to being a same-sex couple. The bar server was asked about the brands of tequila and walked away while answering as she was also having a conversation with a couple across the bar. We were on the second floor and there were kids and drunk adults RUNNING around screaming and knocking on doors all night long. When front desk was called initially no one answered then I was told \"thank you for calling down.\" NOTHING was done about the noise or disturbance.
Christine
The hotel is charming with lots of pretty places to sit and relax.
Molly
Everything was excellent, the room was clean, the food and staff at breakfast in the morning was lovely and the atmosphere in the hotel is so welcoming. There was on front desk person who wasn't particularly friendly and didn't even look at me when I was asking for some information. That hasn't been my experience in the past when I've stayed there.
Mary
Lovely historic property with new amenities. Enjoyed our stay.
Joshua
Excellent property. Front desk reception welcoming. Room amazing and highly tasteful. Excellent complimentary coffee set out at 5:00 am. Parking was a hassle at the time of our evening arrival but we were fortunate to find a spot. Breakfast was not included at our rate.
We had a wonderful down home dinner at Buster’s 5 minute walk down the street. Great ambience, delicious and reasonably priced.
Would definitely return to the hotel but spend a few days in this part of Louisiana!

Brian
Room was clean and comfortable
Lana
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.

Megan
Staff were very sweet and helpful.
Chris
Great staff, clean room. Comfortable bed.
Chris
Our Room was tiny. My husband is 6’2” and his feet were hanging off the bed about a foot. There was NO parking available mainly because of the people visiting their bar. So many people from the bar were blocking the hall to the elevators - we couldn’t tell if they were just congregating there or waiting for the elevator.
Todd
Staff was very helpful and even checked us in early. Bar drinks were amazing. Room very clean.
Michael
Very courteous and accommodating staff, front desk, housekeeping, and restaurant.
Nicole
The overall hotel was really nice and boutique like.
Jamie
Not worth it.
This hotel already has a later than average check in time (4pm), but the room was still not ready upon our arrival at 4:30. The desk clerk was rude and unhelpful and could not estimate how long the wait would be. He did not offer even an apology, a drink while we wait, a discount, truly nothing. When we did get into the room, around 6pm, the toilet had not been thoroughly cleaned (under the seat was dirty) and there was less than a half roll of toilet paper in the bathroom. Overall for $275 a night, not even close to worth it.
Jada
We were in for one night. When we arrived the room was not ready. We waited 2 hours for a room. When we got in the room it smelled so bad of cigarette smoke and was very musty.
Michael
Unable to visit crowded bar. No breakfast
Jillian

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.

Absolutely adorable little gem of a hotel! The rooms were beautiful and comfy! The grounds were beautiful and very true southern decor. I had a one night stay and got a great nights rest. Quiet, staff was kind and amenities are great.
Hafid
Nice palce for a LSU game
I had a wonderful stay at the Southern Hotel in Covington. The atmosphere truly captures the charm of the real South, chic, stylish, and beautifully set. The staff was very accommodating and even provided me with an early check-in, which I greatly appreciated. Everything felt warm and welcoming. I’ll definitely be staying here again!

Brandie
Great service! Great location
Janelle
The property and staff were both amazing. The drinks at The Cypress Bar were top notch!
Lovie
The hotel property was very well kept, and the staff was excellent. I had a small emergency when I realized I forgot my phone charger. Around 10 p.m., I called the front desk to see if they sold any. The friendly lady at the front desk informed me they didn't. But she kindly offered to lend me her personal charger instead. She mentioned she’d be working the night shift and asked me to return it once my phone was fully charged.
Unfortunately, I accidentally fell asleep and woke up at 3 a.m. in a panic, worried she might think I didn’t intend to return it. I rushed it back down to the front desk — and to my relief, she wasn’t even upset.
This small but meaningful act of kindness was just one of the many things that made my overnight stay memorable. Truly great service!
