Courtyard by Marriott Valdosta

When we first arrived, the hotel was under obvious construction. I did not see any info about this when I booked. That would have been useful as we would have looked elsewhere. When checking in, our original two rooms were not available. They said that they overbooked. Not sure why this is a thing. Only sell rooms you have. We ended up with one room with balcony and one without. Because of the balcony door not locking in one of the rooms, we ended up being moved to a non-balcony room on the same floor as our other booked room. We originally asked about getting a room on the same floor and were told there were not two on the same floor. But only a few minutes later, there were two available together. The hotel had a general dirtiness to it. The corridor carpets were visibly dirty. The elevator carpet was filthy. The following are things found in both of our rooms. Hair on two pillows. Dirty sofa bed linens. I had to go to front desk to get new ones. There was a broken balcony door lock on our first room. They were able to switch us to a new room, which didn't have a balcony. There were stains on the sofa. There was a cracked sink and broken shower stopper in one of the rooms. The front desk staff were helpful and apologetic. It just felt like there was a lack of care about cleanliness. I can live with the construction, but the dirtiness is a deal breaker. We stayed at a Courtyard in McDonough, GA and it was great! This Courtyard in Valdosta fell way below expectations.

There was no coffee by the reception area like most hotels. No free breakfast, you had to order & pay at the "Bistro" counter. We did not partake. Our room was clean. The bed and the pillows were very nice & comfortable. It was nice and quiet even though there was a county fair going on across the street. Our bathroom was very clean except for the globs of caulk around the shower/tub and looked icky. There was shampoo, conditioner & body wash. But no lotion. They are remodeling the front entrance, so you had to go around to a side entrance. It was not a problem, the front desk was right around corner. Front desk gal was very helpful & pleasant!

The hotel was having some construction done which is fine but I was unaware when I booked. Half the parking lot was blocked off and the alternate entrance was a little confusing to find and as a single female traveler it was a little unsettling at night trying to find it. The floors seemed “sticky” and made me feel like they weren’t clean. There was hair in the bathroom and the shower didn’t drain well. There weren’t any little “extra” toiletries you would usually find such as little lotions and mouthwash etc. The pillows and bedding just weren’t comfortable. I thought paying a little extra and staying at a Marriott would’ve been much nicer and I was. Wet disappointed

The location was great

Construction on the property, only one entrance accessible, extremely limited parking, no electric vehicle charging stations, ice machines weren't working, no vending and everything was for purchase. No complimentary breakfast or happy hour

Location was great. The hotel was very quiet and nice

Nothing really it was decent stay.

The hotel was still being constructed, which affected the parking situation, the overall appearance of the building, and the pricing, leaving me disappointed.

The rooms were clean and comfortable and they have large balcony's. The beds were very firm but that is my preference.

Going through renovations and there was not enough parking (we had to part in a Federal building parking lot next door), the common area carpets were disgusting, and their breakfast option was a cup of coffee, a banana and a muffin that was divvied out by staff if you asked for it. Way too expensive for what the property has available even after renovations.

Clean and great location

Beds weren’t that comfortable

It’s peaceful, everyone is friendly, and very helpful.

The bed is amazing, it’s very clean and comfortable. You have everything that you need here to make you feel like you’re at home.
