We stayed at Moody AFB (near Valdosta, GA) Presidents Day weekend. We don't often stay at Air Force Installations because we are Army, but this was a great resource to us for our stay because we had to wake up EARLY to go to a wrestling tournament in Valdosta Saturday morning.
I called to reserve the room on the Monday before we left (which was 4 days later that Friday after work) and all they had available was a queen size bed room, no pull out couch but they had air mattress' that were first come first serve. We didn't really have any other options because there was another event in town and almost all the other hotels/motels were booked up. We arrived after we had dinner 10 minutes from the base. She gave us the option to keep the room we reserved for $60 or upgrade to the TLF room (now I will preface that in all my 15 years as an Army wife I've never heard the term TLF, so her question was met with a blank stare! TLF is their acronym for PCS'ing family temporary quarters) for $63. We didn't know what we were walking into other than the option of a pull out couch for the kids was now available.
So we arrive to what looks like a little apartment building, walk in and our mouths drop! We paid $89 a night at our current duty station for MUCH SMALLER cramped quarters when we first arrived. This place even had a dishwasher, standard size fridge, pots/pans, place settings and silverware! We had a tiny fridge, had to provide our own cooking utensils and all that goes along and had NO table to eat at. Excuse the disheveled nature of the room as it didn't occur to me to take pictures when it was put together!
This is the couch/bed in the living room.
Taken from the door the kitchen, eat in bar, real stove...
The ONLY thing that left me disappointed about this place was the lack of mirror in the bathroom. There was on the counter a small round stand up mirror that rotated to get magnified view and I took that to the kitchen to brush my teeth and do my makeup as the bathroom was small and my husband had to take a shower. They also had shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion also something the one we stayed at 2 years her didn't offer.
The bedroom after we woke up that morning.
The other side of the room. In the big closet was the extra blankets/pillows that the kids used.
This was a GREAT place to stay and the next time we are in Valdosta for the tournament we will stay there again!
