I have been staying in Valdosta for years visiting my daughters at VSU. I wish I had found this place sooner. We appreciated the coffee bar, the spacious room, the cleanliness. Loved having a coffee shop right downstairs. My daughter's ZTA event was in the same building, and this space is lovely. Parking was easy and safe. Would absolutely stay here again!

I have family that stays in this area. I appreciate that they restored this downtown hotel and highly modernized it. I only rated staff a three because there wasn’t really any. My check in consisted of entering a code to get in to the hotel and my room

The hotel was beautiful!!! I was so excited to stay in their renovate space in downtown Valdosta (my hometown) There was quite a bit of noise. From other guest coming in late walking one squeaky old wooden floors. Passing trains and sirens throughout the night. Even with that, I definitely hope to return.

Road noise at night is loud. But they do offer ear plugs to use if needed. Rooms clean and spacious. Nice restaurants and coffee shops nearby.

I was super excited about staying someplace different from a regular hotel, and it was beautiful. Not having the checkin info sent to us prior to our arrival was so disappointing as we arrived late after an extremely long day of travel and activities. It was so frustrating after a great day.

This is my second time staying at the McKey in Valdosta. This hotel is so much better than the chain hotels available here. We walked to a restaurant and to a brewery from the hotel, and the room is big enough that we were able to play board games. Thank you for a lovely stay!

We loved the room. It was very clean. The amenities were plentiful. If you forgot something at home, all you had to do was go in the hallway and get it from the station located there. The bathroom was clean and nice. Plenty of hot water. The staff was very friendly. Parking was on the street. We enjoyed our stay at The McKey.
