An older property with rooms entered from outdoors, this Holiday Inn is well kept. It's got free, hard-wired Internet which was very quick. The TV could do with a few more channels, though no big deal.

But, truth be told, this wasn't a $114 room. Days earlier, I stayed in an identical Holiday Inn in Gulfport for $79 -- and that included a breakfast coupon. But evidently, overcharging is a problem in and around Covington, because I overheard some folks in a local laundromat complaining about how expensive the rooms are.

It's a convenient place with lots of retail nearby, but if price is a concern, keep driving.

I stayed in the Holiday inn and Suites April 17th - 19th! My parents, brother and I stay in room 509 in the Holiday Suites! We had a 2 BR 2 BA Suite! The rooms were very nice. One of the only compliants we had is we had reserved smoking and received a non-smoking room. The rooms were very clean and spacious. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who goes to the Covington area!

I stayed at the Hoilday Inn in Covington for one week. I was on business and chose the hotel based on location and the fact that it had a bar and restaurant. I had no idea what time I would be coming back to the hotel (after work), so having a bar and restaurant there was a big plus.
The check in was quick and easy, and the hotel staff was were some of the nicest I have seen in awhile. Please understand that this hotel was built a long time ago and is a little dated, but with that said, they have done a great job of renovating the hotel.
The rooms have been completely renovated; with new furniture, bed, etc. Each room has a new refrigerator and microwave. The bathrooms are a litle small, but very clean and the shower had plenty of pressure. A paper is delivered to your room every morning. All rooms have high-speed internet using a standard wired (LAN) connection. Wireless Wi-Fi is available in the lobby area which includes the open area bar and indoor/outdoor pool.
Speaking of the pool, it was being worked on while I was there, but it's an indoor/outdoor pool with a hot tub. The outside portion was deeper than most hotel pools...about 7-8 feet.
I didn't eat dinner at the hotel because of the numerous dinning options available within walking distance - Copelands is across the street for those who like a New Orleans flair to your food. I did eat breakfast at the hotel. It's a standard buffet for about $8.00. It might seem expensive, but considering how much you can eat and the variety, you can fill up and skip lunch. Plus it sure did beat the standard fair you get at other hotels.
The hotel staff told me that they will be renovating the entire lobby area in the near future. It was ok as it was, but a little dated as I said above. Again, the lobby area has your check-in area, bar, pool,and a huge sitting area.
Would I stay hear again...yes. The hotel staff was great and the price was lower than any other hotel in the area.

The hotel had a manaagement change last November and it shows! The rooms and suites were clean and the hotel has recently installed HSIA and voicemail. They also welcomed our little dog (who is part of our family). The restaurant servers and front desk clerks couldn't have been nicer. Kudos to the team!
