Everything was good, but the AC is a deal killer and why we could never stay here again no matter how nice it is. The AC vent blows directly in your face when you are in bed making it impossible to sleep with it on. So you have to turn it off and then it gets to warm to sleep.

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.

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.
