Hotels near General Ormsby Mitchell Park

"For our anniversary my wife and i decided to drive to Covington and spend the night where we first stayed on our honeymoon. When we pulled up to the front door the car was surrounded by transients, all smoking and nothing about it felt right or safe. I walked into the lobby and the smell of smoke was so strong, I could hardly breathe. The man who checked us in, (wearing a heavy linked chain with a lock around his neck) was very kind, but again, it was nowhere near the atmosphere we remembered and that motivated us to drive 6 hours to stay at. I figured since I had prepaid for the night, once we got to the room we could get through one night. The elevator smelled the same as the lobby and when we reached our room, saw the door was propped open. I pushed the door open unsure of what I would find. The smell of smoke was so strong in the room I couldn’t breathe and I knew we couldn’t stay. Went back to the desk and explained the situation, gave my key back, lost the price of the room, drove to another city, paid for another room. I have traveled as part of my job for most of my life. I can take a room that’s sub par but for the first time in my life, felt afraid and unsafe. A lesson I will never have to learn again. From now on, I stick with hotel chains I know. "

"The room I was initially put in had a leaking faucet and broken lamp, but the desk staff addressed this problem immediately by putting me in another room. Location is excellent, and the Art Deco decor of the lower floors is beautiful. "

"Very nice hotel"
