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.

Best hotel ever
This place is amazing. It never disappoints. It’s southern, it’s luxury, it’s historical and its walking distance to shops and restaurants. The people are extraordinary and you will find reasons to return.

Had a wonderful time at The Southern! Enjoyed the quiet room, serene surroundings, great bar, dining at The Gloriette and historic details of the property. Staff was very accommodating, warm and professional.
