Well, I hate to be too critical but good luck finding parking. There was a lot going on when we arrived and had to park down the street, couldn’t even stop to unload bags. Carried our luggage to the front where a few people were sitting and they didn’t know how to get in. I tried the code I was sent, didn’t need it because we learned the front door to the building is not locked. Safety issue? Two floors are for college students. Took the elevator to our floor and found our room. A small thing but how about putting a full roll of toilet paper on for the next guest and wash the wall next to the toilet?

We loved the Mckey. Such a beautiful renovated hotel that combines history and modern style. They give you a code to access the hotel and your room however the owner who was very nice and polite received us and showed us to our rooms and brought extra towels.
We are definitely coming back to this hotel. Valdosta is a quaint town for a nice weekend get away. The only reason why I didn’t give a five star on the comfort category is because there is a train that passes by the town during the night honking its horn. I wish the town would do something so that it reduces the amount of times it honks. If you are a light sleeper you will hear it. If you sleep deep you should be fine. Either way the hotel had on the hallway bags with ear plugs for free for the guests.
We definitely recommend this hotel.

The retro vibe from the turn-of-the-century building makes one feel like one is in Europe. The large tub is rather nice. The simple, minimalist style is nice. The general neat appearance is inviting. To the not so good, the dusty ceiling fan blades were rather noticeable given the white, off-white, and dove gray paint shades. And the cracking paint on the window trim from paint with latex over oil is also rather noticeable. The El Paso Mexican Restaurant around the corner served tasty food; the birria tacos, an off-menu request, were excellent. We will stay here again. If vintage is your thing, then the McKey is for you. If you are looking for the Ritz, then this is a hard pass.

It was a very enjoyable stay; however, there are minor improvements needed. For instance, better and more frequent cleaning is necessary, and curtains should be installed. The window in my room had a draft, so I feel they should be sealed better to ensure guests stay warm. Additionally, the door doesn’t fully feel closed, and the code to enter the building doesn’t always work. Offering a badge alternative and improving the door would enhance safety. Providing essentials like a phone charger would also be a nice touch for guests.
I believe listing the room names on the website would be helpful, as I had no idea which room I was assigned. Lastly, all my outlets were upside down for some reason, which seemed odd.
The good this is it generally was comfortable and the cafe downstairs helped alot

Dont rely on hotels.com to assign you the room you pick on their site. I picked a room with a big bathtub and was given an ada room with a shower.

The hotel was beautiful!!! I was so excited to stay in their renovate space in downtown Valdosta (my hometown)
There was quite a bit of noise. From other guest coming in late walking one squeaky old wooden floors. Passing trains and sirens throughout the night.
Even with that, I definitely hope to return.

There was a train passing through every 30 minutes or so that is not stated in the description. The large soaker tub also doesn’t actually hold water as the stopper didn’t work so although that’s a selling feature it wasn’t useable.
