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.

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.
