Fairfield Inn & Suites Valdosta - Valdosta, Georgia

This is the worst Marriott property I've ever stayed at. First, difficult to find the turn in. It looked like a truck stop parking lot --
ended up back on the interstate. Second, dirty and outdated. Third, our room was like a trap house used to film pornos. Creepy, mismatched furniture, fingerprints all over the mirror, crumpled sheets like someone had slept in them for a week, most uncomfortable pillows, just gross. The twos reasons it's getting 2 stars - 1. they had something other than powdered eggs for breakfast -- Starbucks kickoff fluffy egg bite, pretty edible -- and 2. we don't have bed bugs (that we know of). Do not recommend otherwise.

Nice property and very accommodating staff. We drove south overnight to get here to avoid the blizzard in Atlanta. We arrived at 5 am and they had a room they let us check into for that night so we got from 5 am until 10 am the next day for one night price. As is the norm at Marriott properties there is no internet. This is our fourth Marriott property on this trip all with no internet. They say it is because Marriott switched all their internet service to Bonvoy rather than individual hotels and it doesn’t work. As a Bonvoy member of over 20 years I usually have stayed at Marriott properties but I don’t want to have to go to McDonald’s to get internet.

Room stank, they nicely fixed that, took a shower and there was a zero conditioner left, woke up, and there was only decaf coffee in my room, and everything I put in the fridge was boiled because the refrigerator didn’t work.
Unfortunately, I’m a titanium, and when I brought this to the front desk attention, they emphatically apologize, but did not offer points or anything like that.

Easy to get to, huge well lit parking lot, plenty of areas to walk dog, comfortable beds, clean rooms/no weird smells, good breakfast. Felt safe!

To start, I have spent at least 40 days + in Marriott hotels yearly for the last decade. This is the only hotel that put on some shady smoke cleaning fee after I checked out without informing me. (Note, I have never smoked in my life). After asking about it, they sent me some "evidence" of cigarettes all over the place in a room and say it was my room when it was clearly not.

The incompetency and dishonesty at this place is staggering, and I truly do hope Marriott HQ does something about it.

I recently stayed here for a 2-week work trip and have mixed feelings about this hotel. I'm a frequent traveler who typically stays in Fairfield or Courtyard hotels, so I generally know what to expect, but this stay was a combination of pros and cons.||Starting with the positives: The staff was friendly throughout my stay, always greeting me with a smile. The bed was very comfortable (though on the softer side), the air conditioning worked well, and the shower had excellent pressure and temperature, which was refreshing after long workdays. The lobby and other common areas appeared recently updated, and the complimentary breakfast was consistently good and well-stocked.||Now for the downsides: Housekeeping was a significant issue. The hotel claims to offer service every other day, but during my first week, my room was only cleaned once. Even after requesting service on the fifth day, nothing happened until I asked to be moved to a clean room. Margaret at the front desk was very apologetic and upgraded me to a suite, which I appreciated. She assured me the housekeeping issue would be resolved, and for the next few days, the service improved. Unfortunately, it stopped again in my second week, and by that point, I let it go since my stay was almost over.||The rooms themselves are outdated compared to the common areas. The furniture in both rooms I stayed in showed wear and tear—the first room had a stuck dresser drawer, and the desk in the second room was sagging as if someone had put too much weight on it. Water damage was visible on the old popcorn ceilings, and there were minimal USB ports. Worst of all, I found a long hair in the microwave, which remained there even after three housekeeping visits. This was quite surprising for a Marriott brand.||Additionally, amenities seemed to be removed, such as empty spaces where ice machines once were. Also, construction work was visible near the pool area, with a giant welding job on an interstate billboard in the parking lot. While this didn’t affect my stay, it was an odd sight to have from the room.||I have a follow-up work trip to Valdosta soon, but I’ve decided to stay at a different hotel with better amenities and a lower price. My stay at this Fairfield wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t great either—overall, a mixed bag.

I was pleasantly surprised with this hotel after reading some of the reviews. My family chose the Marriott down the road and we chose this. Our experience here was much better than theirs. When we walked in, they offered us complementary wine or beer samples. Everyone was very friendly. The room was very clean. Very nice. The price is very good for what you get. I saw the gym. It looked good, but I did not use it. We did not use the pool. It did not look too appealing. It was outside. The location is right off of the interstate so sometimes at night you can hear the cars. But overall, it was a very good experience and very nice hotel

Staff is extremely polite and helpful. Rooms are outdated but clean and very spacious. Great location with everything around.
