Top Ponchatoula Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Covington-Madisonville by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean & quiet room. perfect temperature. very comfortable"

Holiday Inn Covington by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay overall! The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with anything I needed. The property itself was very clean, and my room was spotless when I arrived, which I really appreciated. My only complaint was the carpet in the room. While everything appeared clean, the carpet felt a bit grimy underfoot, almost like it could use replacing. I’d recommend wearing socks or shoes while walking around the room. Other than that, I had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again. The excellent customer service and cleanliness made for a very enjoyable visit."

Breathtaking, Wooded River Retreat " Isle Of View"

10/10 Excellent

"This place is like a fancy tree house. We definitely enjoyed our trip! Everything was clean and it was delightful to be able to bring our dog. Access to the river was a cool feature and my husband enjoyed fishing briefly (before temperatures became too sweltering). Of note- there are no windows treatments in the house, which you definitely need to be cognizant of in the master bathroom, as there is a wraparound porch around the house. The lack of window treatments didn't really impact sleep though, which was good. The house is comfortable and the elevator was nice for unpacking and packing the car. Marcus was quick to let us know when the previous renters left a mess and check-in was briefly delayed and offered a late check-out. We had a great time at the Global Wildlife Center nearby and would definitely recommend a visit there."

The Tchefuncte - Charming 2-bedroom cottage on Tangipahoa River in Ponchatoula

10/10 Excellent

"The hosts were easy to contact and to work with. The home was clean and had coffee and creamer. The bathroom was clean , it had towels washcloths along with soap and shampoo. The bedrooms were clean . This is a waterfront property, so we came with a canoe and a kayak. We were given permission to launch from thee shore at the home unfortunately the river was running to swiftly for us to do that. We did find another place very close by to put in. The location was good for us, as I wanted my grandson to go on a swamp tour and I wanted him to see New Orleans, but he is n still to n young to do much in the city. We enjoyed fishing and relaxing. I would rent this property again if I am in the b area again."
