I'm a loyal Marriott customer so I've stayed in plenty of their properties.

I would rank this property at a lower tier than other Fairfield Inns. I didn't expect luxury because it is a Fairfield brand, but I expected more from a Marriott property. The door to the room leads to an exterior corridor. I should have called ahead to see if they had any interior corridor entries. It didn't look like any of the rooms had interior corridor entries. The carpeting and furniture were older. You are allowed to have 4 people in the room (we had 5 if you include my infant son), but they made available only 2 sets of towels. When I saw a custodian and asked for 2 more sets, he said the towels are being dried. However, he did offer to bring them to my room when they were ready. I didn't take him up on the offer because we needed to leave sooner than when I suspected he'd bring them over.

The only good thing about this place was the breakfast. It was your typical Fairfield Inn breakfast- toast, donuts, cereal, fruit, danish, and a waffle maker. The employees were helpful too.

I could stay here again, but if I had a chance to drive further north a try the Fairfield Inn in Macon, GA, I would do so.

Stayed just for one night stop-over. Room was clean, bed was ok. They only had a smoking room available when we checked in and we are non-smokers. Felt like all of our clothes and hair had been contaminated when we left the next morning. Not a typical Fairfield Inn Marriott Property. But ok for a stopover on a driving trip. Would stay again if given a nonsmoking room.

When I drove up to the hotel and saw an old-school motor lodge, I wondered if I could possibly have the right place. Unfortunately, I did.

I don't mind slumming it at times. But when you pay 70-some dollars (a lot for South Georgia) for a Fairfield -standard hotel, that's what you expect to get.

Aside from the outdoor-entry, the rooms were actually not terrible. They seemed clean. The bathroom, however, was VERY TINY. The tub also failed to drain properly, which made for a gross shower.

I have stayed in numerous Fairfield Inns around the country. All were acceptable or better. The Valdosta property was TERRIBLE!!! I checked and and then checked out 10 minutes later. The room was terrible. The door did not lock properly. The room smelled. It was a dumpy room with exterior corridors. And it DEFINITELY was not up to the Marriott supposed standards. STAY AWAY FROM THIS HOTEL/MOTEL. Only book it if is the only available room in town - or even better, leave town.
