This hotel is definitely a standout option in the area, with exceptional service that truly makes you feel valued and a great dining experience that rivals even the best in New Orleans. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for relaxing or enjoying time with friends. However, parking can be a bit tricky due to its limited capacity, and the motion-sensored thermostat in the rooms might not suit everyone's preference for temperature control.

My stay at the Southern Hotel was absolutely delightful. The ambiance was charming and the renovations beautifully blend historic elements with modern comforts. The dining experience at Oxlot 9 was exceptional, making it a must-visit for food lovers. However, if you're looking for extensive hotel facilities, this may not be ideal as it's smaller than some chain hotels.

I loved the high ceilings in the rooms and the beautiful decor throughout the hotel, creating an inviting atmosphere.

The Southern Hotel offers a unique and engaging experience with its charming atmosphere and strong sense of community involvement. The atmosphere is romantic and filled with small-town charm, all while being just a short drive from New Orleans. I particularly enjoyed the live music and local events that brought a vibrant energy to my stay. However, I did notice that while the hotel exudes elegance, some may find the absence of extensive facilities a slight downside if they’re looking for more typical hotel amenities.
