We have family in the area so we have to come to Picayune at least annually. For the past 7 years we have stayed at the Holiday-Inn Express. We chose it the first time because it was a relatively new hotel, so we felt that it would meet our standards. And boy did it. So now it is our place to stay when we are in town. Along with visiting family, one thing we always look forward to is eating at Southen Char on Canal Street. It and the hotel will keep you coming back for years.

This property was easy to get to. Everyone was very nice and the room was perfect for our 1 night stay. There was adequate parking with no issues. The breakfast was decent.

We had a cruise departing from New Orleans. We wanted to drive down the day before and spend the night so that the day of the cruise we would not be tired from driving all day. This was an excellent choice. The hotel was fairly new (the room even had that new smell). Very clean and comfortable. Seemed like a fairly safe area. Lots of restaurants and shopping close by. Staff was friendly and helpful. Nice breakfast. About 45 minutes from the port. Would stay here again.

A very cool, modern version of an old school motel. It even has a pool right in the middle of the parking lot. Room and bathroom were very clean. I recommend staying here. Free bike rentals are included.

From the moment we arrived, I knew we would not want to check out. The room was spacious, comfortable, clean and luxurious. The garden area was peaceful. The entire hotel encourages peace and relaxation. What a perfect location, too! Walking distance to all the sites of Abita Springs and quick drives to even more activities and restaurants. We would love to stay again. It was the perfect anniversary getaway spot!

From the moment we arrived we were made welcome and the room and all the facilities were great. The positioning of the property is right next to restaurants and shopping but all that said it was quiet and tranquil and the pool area was very relaxing. Will definitely be visiting again in the not too distant future.

I absolutely LOVE the staff here at the Holiday Inn of Covington. They are kind, courteous, helpful, and very friendly. I would like to thank Daze for going above and beyond in his kind helpful interactions last night as well as Ms. Adrienne going above and beyond in her interactions with me as well.
