The romantic suite is a beautifully designed, well maintained vintage room. We met the hotel manager, who was exuberant and helpful. The view from the room over the quaint downtown was picturesque. Location was good for walking downtown.

Best Place to stay in Valdosta - drive a few minutes off the interstate and get a much better experience than the chains. Clean, Spacious, Safe, Easy Check-in/Check-out, easy parking, great coffee shop on the first floor and nice restaurants within a few blocks in the quaint and historic downtown - STAY HERE!!

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!

You come.here to relax and...

You come here to experience the town! Restored/repurposed bulding turned into a lovely hotel in the "main strett" district of town allow you to walk to restaurants and enjoy the happenings in town. Very spacious, confortable and clean rooms. Rooms are not numbered but named, add a desrving touch of B&B to the stay. Worth the detour off the interstate to slow down and relax!

Beautiful place with a charming historic feel. You get a key code emailed to you for entry so it’s very private and simple to check in. It is a wonderful place overall with a coffee shop downstairs that is also wonderful! Güd Coffee! The only downside was the noise of being in the heart of downtown. You could hear everything on the street and vehicles going by all night. I’m a light sleeper so maybe others wouldn’t mind as much. They do have ear plugs complimentary!! :) definitely a place you should check out!

The area suggested to park had people that approached me 3 times asking for money. The directions given didn't explain where the room was. Being downtown, police sirens and trains kept me up most of the night. The positive is being downtown and walking to restaurants and the room was immaculate.

The room was very clean and modern. The bed was big and comfortable. It took a bit to get used to not having a front desk person and that is the only review that got 3 stars because there was no interaction with any staff. I highly recommend this hotel and would stay there again.

I loved the vibe of The McKey. The hotel is on two floors of a restored, historical building. Everything felt modern and fresh, without losing any histoical charm. We had everything we need for our two night stay, with perhaps the exception of a kitchen towel. Not a big deal. All in all, a unique and very pleasant stay.

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!

Wonderful historic and modern mix hotel

We loved the Mckey. Such a beautiful renovated hotel that combines history and modern style. They give you a code to access the hotel and your room however the owner who was very nice and polite received us and showed us to our rooms and brought extra towels. We are definitely coming back to this hotel. Valdosta is a quaint town for a nice weekend get away. The only reason why I didn’t give a five star on the comfort category is because there is a train that passes by the town during the night honking its horn. I wish the town would do something so that it reduces the amount of times it honks. If you are a light sleeper you will hear it. If you sleep deep you should be fine. Either way the hotel had on the hallway bags with ear plugs for free for the guests. We definitely recommend this hotel.
