Positive Reviews

Approachable staff.
The staff members at Southern Lodge do their best to help guide you around the area and provide you with the best services possible. In general, they can tailor your itinerary ideas to almost any sort of attraction style, including outdoors adventure or more urban-based shopping and dining.
positive:
Fantastic highway placement.
The placement of Southern Lodge couldn't be better. Located just off a main highway exit that links the eastern coast's biggest destinations, you'll be more than pleased if you choose to stay here during a trip that spans this area of the country, as it allows for easy stop-and-go nights on the road.
positive:
Enjoyable television channels.
The television programming at Southern Lodge is a step above most of its competition, including other networks than simply news or sports. You can find just about anything you might be interested in, and if you can't find it there, the free Wi-Fi will let you stream media to your laptop.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Insect infestations.
Numerous guests noted that they found cockroaches or bedbugs in their room, which points to a serious lack of attention being paid to insects and other forms of pest control within the hotel. This is a serious issue that warrants immediate attention.
negative:
Rundown interior spaces.
Much of the hotel's exterior looks nice enough, but Southern Lodge has an issue with keeping its rooms feeling current and fresh. There are several places with stained linens, broken window frames, or plumbing issues that should be inspected and fixed.
negative:
Questionable nonsmoking rooms.
The smoking and nonsmoking rooms at Southern Lodge are not always clear, because some of the nonsmoking rooms smell as though they've previously been used for smokers. If this is true, the rooms should be thoroughly cleaned before their conversion to avoid allergens.
