SpringHill Suites by Marriott Tifton

The property seemed to be brand new and was in great condition, it had good pool hours, and the front desk lady was absolutely amazing… Super professional, kind, and helpful. Unfortunately, I have to rate this property three stars because of the very poor design of the room we stayed in. I travel a lot with my family (3 kids) and have a pretty good sense of what families need. This hotel is all suites, which caters to families, so you would think the bathroom would have a lock on it, a door that actually closes (it’s a sliding barn door with a gap), and a door that is solid and not just frosted glass. The whole bathroom situation was awkward. Not only was it super odd shaped, but when I got ready in the morning, the light from the bathroom shown directly in my kids faces and woke them up before I was ready for them to be up. Very inconvenient. The bathroom had the only sink in the room… it would’ve been so easy to design the room with an extra sink outside of the restroom. Most other hotels have that convenience. There was also no mirror in the room with an outlet near it, so after my shower, I could not blow dry my hair in the room while others used the bathroom. I ended up using my cell phone camera as a mirror to blow dry my hair near the coffee station area. It would have been so easy to just hang a mirror there behind the coffee maker. Overall odd and inconvenient design but still a nice hotel.

Stayed night b4 leaving 4 Atlanta to celebrate Thanksgiving with family. Everything was first class. Made the day.

Stayed here as we drove through GA, from Central Florida to Minot North Dakota on a 3 week family trip. I forgot a personal item (old pillow I can’t part with) in the room when we checked out. We were about 45 miles north when I realized I forgot it, so called the hotel to ask if they could hold it for me until I would be passing back through 3 weeks later, and they said they would!! Today I stopped by and sure enough, they held to their word! We stayed at several Springhill Suites locations on this cross country trip and I will look forward to staying with them again next time. Great brand and great people in GA. For fellow travelers, stop and buy peaches from Melvins fruit stand at the Fort Valley exit about an hour north of Tifton. Nice guy and great fruit!
