The Southern Hotel is our new favorite place. Everything was above par.One of the desk clerks was interested in history. My great grandfather opened The Southern Hotel as a hospital in the early 1900s. Later building "The Fenwick Sanatarium" she had read about it. Her interest made me feel special. The restaurant was excellent, my husband couldn't stop talking about how good the Shrimp and grits were. We live in "Cajun" country and are known for our food. This bested it and the presentation was perfect.

When we checked in the staff on duty were not very friendly. Almost snooty like. The lobby and grounds of the hotel were beautiful but our room was the very last room on the 2nd hall of the 2nd floor it overlooked the HVAC system. We booked this room months ago so I thought we would have had a much better view. The lady on staff working the morning after we arrived was very kind and helpful.
