I have family that stays in this area. I appreciate that they restored this downtown hotel and highly modernized it. I only rated staff a three because there wasn’t really any. My check in consisted of entering a code to get in to the hotel and my room

We’ll Pass Staying Here Again
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?

Wonderful historic and modern mix hotel
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.
