Terrible place avoid this location management is poor room smells like pee and cigarettes holes in the carpet room. I was not even there 12 minutes and the lady told me you have been there more than 10 minutes would not offer refund. Very rude and unprofessional I would rather sleep in a rest stop in my vehicle which I had to do since I was on the way back from Gatlinburg. People do not spend your money here in this dump you will regret it

This property is in desperate need of refurbishing. The carpet is nasty, stains everywhere. There is a food smell that makes it feel like people are cooking in their rooms, a heavy Asian food smell, like you’re in a Chinese restaurant. It wasn just from a delivery, it never went away. We went down for their sad little breakfast and there was literally 1 piece of bread and cereal. No milk. Everything had run out and there was no employee to be found, even at the front desk. We finally found the front desk person cleaning a room down the hall. What?? She said there had been a large group just come through for breakfast. Umm no. And if there was, someone should have been there replacing things. We went out to breakfast and did not return. Stay away from this place.

This has to be the worst experience I've ever had staying in a hotel I mean the hotel's not that clean the staff's completely rude kind of seemed prejudiced they literally threw my stuff out of the room into the rain did not have a care from my items and some are missing and they won't even allow me to go check where my items are 9 if someone another guys told me that they were throwing my items and took a tribe and now I'm missing my personal property and everything I recommend is hotel and not a good place to stay is the worst hotel I've ever stayed in in my life

The only positive thing about this review is the young lady that was working the desk when we arrived (not the manager). The hotel is desperate need of repair and updates. The carpet is terrible, we could hear wind blowing around the windows, the TV didn’t work and the noise level was ridiculous the whole night. I would not recommend at all.

Honest review By David
My stay was good, quick check-in, friendly staff, good breakfast and wifi. Very conveniently located near gas stations and interstate 75. Less than a mile way are all the restaurants and fast foods and the Valdosta Mall. Quiet stay.

Ms. CJ & a lack of rodents are the only bright spots I can vouch for. She's professional, kind & customer-oriented. First room I had was missing a patch of carpet at the door, A/C unit vents were caked with gunk & dust in high places. Ms. Patel has a nasty disposition & some sort of superiority-complex; forced me to switch rooms claiming the room I'd been in for 2 nights already was booked (though I checked later and there was no occupant), even threatened to call "the law" upon voicing my frustrations calmly and had the audacity to tell me be quiet several times. Second room had a cup propping the TV up to keep it level so they wouldn't have to replace the mount, room smelled as if someone's animal urinated all over & the sheets were torn. If you're in a bind buy online, don't pay their full price.

Took 1/2 to check in, person didn’t know what they were doing , had to call the manager for help. Room was run down, broken chest of drawers (I took a picture), cigarette burns on the bedspread (.also took a picture) so I wouldn’t be charged for it. Also I told the staff. P.S. the toilet ran. What a dump!

Surprised I didn't get a contact high...
The room was ok clean, almost bounced back up to the ceiling when I sat down on the bed but it was comfortable. The blanket was smelly so I didn't use. The water was hot the next morning so that was nice. The worst part was the overall smell of pot that permeated throughout the place. I was on the phone with someone when I got to my room and told them I might end up with a contact high. The staff was super friendly and breakfast was ok too.

When you can't afford the hotels costing $140 a night this was a good choice. Had indoor access which was nice and the staff was friendly.
