Our favorite place to stay in Valdosta

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 10 Aug 2015
My husband and I were looking for an affordable hotel that was pet friendly, quiet, clean, had a kitchen, and was in a convenient location. On top of that we needed a room that was not moldy or smelled musty, was overly scented or smelled of cigarette smoke and we found it in the Garden Villas! At first, I was concerned because of the conflicting reviews so I called, really to cancel, but their kind demeanor and desire to get us a room that would work for us won us both over, and my husband and I are both very glad we tried it out. It is a very old, yet stately Hotel, which they are slowly remodeling. If your looking for something that is perfect than keep looking, but if you want a nice clean, spacious room with a Kitchen etc, I would pick this place. There is a Chinese restaurant next to the hotel, as well as Fire House Subs and a Mexican Restaurant, all within walking distance. Walmart, Win Dixie and Publix are only a few blocks away as well. This is an extended stay Hotel so there is no lobby you can hang out in or pool, but it has worked great for us! We are very glad we stayed in Garden Villas and if we need to come to Valdosta again, I'm sure we will be staying at Garden Villas if they have an opening.

Just a short note about my stay at Garden Vilas. I'm retired and when I travel, which is quite often, I look for a cheap place to lay my head. But the jest of it is, is that most of the time if the hotel is to cheap,you don't know what youre laying your head on. This hotel brought me to a time when hotel rooms were built big and comfortable. A few belimishes and bruises on this old girl, nevertheless comfortable. My son goes to VSU here so it was great to spend some quality time with him. My 2 week stay was nice and very afordable. Will stay here on my next trip through.

Room tip: Luck of the draw, the family in the room behind me had there moments but not too bad. Theres a courtyard in the middle, thats probably your best bet.

The hotel rooms can be smelled from the parking lot. It truly is the nastiest place I've ever had to stay. Do yourself a favor and sleep in your car, drive to another town, whatever you have to do, but Don't book a room at this place.

Friendly staffs, at a low low price, makes you want to give the staff a big tips & a big hug! I once loss a packages, the staff tryed his best to locate them by calling around the places I 've been, not only that they even offer me a coffe while I was waiting! All the staff always check with me if I need any assistant, I believe that is the best place I ever stay, and I am still stay there.

I stayed there for 1 month, the room smelled of smoke, within minutes the smell was in my clothes and the taste was in my mouth. I had to invest in deoderizers and cented candles. There was a roach infestation, For 2 weeks I killed dozens of roaches daily. Although they sent the exterminator out 3 different times, I had to buy my own can of raid. 27 days out of 30, I saw roaches. The room was straightend up, but wasn't clean, I had to wipe up a spill & the floor was filthy. I had to get houskeeping to clean the Bathroom before I would use the shower. Housekeeping was awful, they only cleaned what you asked them to, nothing more and that's if they came. One review that I read before I visited the hotel, was don't let the pictures fool you, and they were right. These rooms are really over priced for the service that is offered. One good thing though is that they are in close proximity to everything. Anyone else who stays here, I really hope that there stay is better then mine was.

It's a perfect location near base and allows pets! But I also booked it by how it looked like in pictures (cozy and just what we needed for 5 days so we didn't have to eat out all the time) boy was I shocked once I opened the door to my suite! Beds are hard, we wake up feeling so groggy from having such a poor night sleep. The bathroom was gross (you can tell it hasn't been cleaned in awhile with dead bugs stuck where the shower door closes) BRING SHOWER SHOES!!! Internet didn't work the whole time we were hear and the tv picture was fuzzy. As for being able to save money with being able to cook at home, hardly happened. Might sound kiddish but we were a little "scared" to use the supplies they gave us to use and we have to pay for dish soap!
