We loved the bar drinks and the super cute, safe street it's located on. Parking was easy, and our room was surprisingly spacious -- perfect for the kids to spread out after a long drive. This will definitely be our go-to stop when driving from Texas to Florida. Always on the hunt for a good halfway point, and this one checks all the boxes!

I would not recommend staying at this hotel…read more Upon arrival, the front desk attendant was repeatedly hacking and coughing and appeared visibly ill. It was not the first impression I expected when checking into a hotel. Unfortunately, the room itself was also disappointing. The carpet was dirty, there was an old cough drop and a granola bar underneath the bed, and the air vent blew dust into the room when it turned on. These issues made me question how thoroughly the room had been cleaned before our stay. To make matters worse, there was a wedding taking place at the hotel, and the reception appeared to be directly outside our room. The music was extremely loud and continued until around 9:30 p.m. Traveling with a small child, this made bedtime difficult and significantly impacted our experience. The restaurant experience was equally frustrating. I ordered chicken tenders for my child, but they arrived covered in a spicy buffalo-style sauce, making them inedible for a young child. I charged the meal to my room and only discovered several days later, after requesting an itemized receipt, that a 22% tip charge had been added. I was never informed of this 22% tip charge when ordering. When I called to ask about it, the manager explained that the 22% charge was for room service tip. However, the food was never delivered to my room. I was required to walk to the restaurant and pick it up myself. While I didn't mind retrieving the food, I do mind being charged a substantial tip for a service that wasn't provided. To make matters worse, my hands were full carrying three drinks and a bag of food back to the room, and one of the overfilled drinks spilled along the way. I also spoke directly with the hotel manager regarding the 22% tip charge. I explained that I was never informed ahead of time that this charge would be added and that the food was not actually delivered to my room. Instead, I had to walk to the restaurant and pick it up myself. The manager did not seem concerned that I was being charged what was described as a room service fee without receiving traditional room service. What bothered me most was not just the charge itself, but the lack of transparency and the apparent unwillingness to acknowledge why a guest might find that frustrating. If they had actually delivered the food themself I would have tipped more. The combination of the dirty room, excessive noise, unexpected charges, and poor dining experience made for a very disappointing stay. I would not stay here again and would not recommend either the hotel or the restaurant.

The bathrooms were clean. The staff were helpful. I will stay there again making other arrangements knowing I cannot utilize the sofa bed.

I checked in online and used the digital key, so I never interacted with the front desk, and I checked out through the app without reviewing my bill. A few days later, I noticed a bar charge that wasn't mine. As a cancer survivor, I don't drink alcohol. I emailed the hotel manager right away to request a credit but received no response. When I contacted the Hilton helpline, they said the manager had confirmed the charge as valid. I pushed back, and about a week later the charge was finally reversed. It was only $17.30, but it was about the principle. Staff should verify names when posting charges to a room. Be sure to review your bill at checkout.

While looking at hotels on 190 in Covington, Holiday Inn came in as the better priced of the nicer…read morehotels, so i chose here. The booking experience was easy, and they will automatically ask if you want to join their rewards program to get a better price. I was given the approximate cost of my stay and booked it up. You can check in online and give an approximate arrival time. I chose 6pm, but at 11am that day, i was notified my room was ready. I still didn't arrive until six, but that was nice to know had my arrival time changed. They need to replace the sign along the highway pointing you to the hotel as the one they have is faded, and the street sign is not too visible, but it's easy enough. There is a spacious parking lot with plenty of parking near the door. Check in was easy, i just showed my ID and was given my card. The front desk employee was really friendly and welcoming. My king room was large and roomy. It was your typical room - bed, tv, fridge, chair, desk, closet (no safe), Krueig set up, the basics. There is no in-room microwave, rather, there is one per floor by the elevators and vending area. I had to turn the fridge on, so be sure to check that if you anything that needs to be kept cold. The bathroom is super tight for space. I mean, uncomfortably so. I was travelling solo, so i only had my things, but to get to the shower, you had to walk all the way in to close the door to walk around the toilet to get in the shower. I think that was a poor design. The bed was comfortable with plenty of pillows. There was no road noise because you're about a block or so from the highway. While not the hotel's real fault, I was somehow placed among three rooms of young ladies attending a wedding who came back around midnight and were extremely loud with opening and closing the loud doors and yelling in the hallway. Not easy on the ears knowing I had a 4am wake up call for my race, but I didn't call to complain, and probably would have gone into the hallway to let them know had it gone on more than 15 minutes. I had to check out around 5:30am, and the restaurant looked like it was open, so that's nice. There was a note that the front desk person would return soon, but they have a key box, so i just dropped mine in there and headed out. The website says the pool is closed for maintenance with no expected reopen time, but I didn't try to go see if that was still accurate. Also, the price ended up being about $3 more than what my estimated price was, but no big deal, just be aware if you are expensing it for a trip. There are several restaurants and stores nearby, and downtown Covington is just a short drive away. Go a little further South, and you can explore the beautiful Mandeville lakefront area. The Northshore area truly is beautiful.

We were offered one of the new renovated rooms and felt like it was about 90% complete. If I were the owner of this hotel I would not be satisfied with the construction efforts. The workmanship quality is very poor. We stayed in room 314. - The bathroom door did not shut unless you used your shoulder to close the door. - The back of the bathroom door was not painted properly. - The sink cabinet looked worn and already scraped up on the bottom. - The caulking between the tile and the walls was not complete. - Toilet was wobbly. - We did not get maid service. Although we saw the maids on our floor the majority of the day. - The king bed came with only four standard small pillows. We asked for two more and they were provided by a friendly cleaning person. Yet we didn't get serviced?!? - We had no working phone in the room for three days. We did report it on day two and someone came out but it was not fixed and there is not a note left by maintenance. - The TV Guide provided did not match the TV channels. - a/c unit kicked on and off all night although it was set to high fan and not auto.
