First, let me give HUGE KUDOS to front desk staff members, Shelby and Ieesha (her name is pronounced "eye-ee-sha")! I had never even heard of Southern Lodge, so I stopped by on Monday afternoon just to look at the place. Shelby was very friendly and knowledgeable. I explained that I had seen this hotel on Hotels.com and saw a great price; she explained the process to me thoroughly and I was convinced to come over the very next day. I check out of my previous hotel and came to Southern Lodge the next morning; I was greeted with an open door by Ieesha. Ieesha was another delightful, knowledgeable staff member. I was concerned that in order to get the lower price on hotels.com I had to book a smoking room. I am allergic to smoke! however, Ieesha assured me the room would be ok for me; she was correct! The room was great! It even had a great little basket full of toiletries - not just your standard shampoo and lotion. I will be staying here the next time I travel through this area.
