If you're looking for a hotel near SGMP in Valdosta, I've stayed at the Comfort Inn & Suites Valdosta Mall Area, and it was a good choice. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and it was close to the track and had plenty of dining options. Another option is the Hilton Garden Inn Valdosta, which offers excellent service and facilities like a pool and fitness center.
Although it's not in Valdosta, I've also visited
these resorts in Branson, Missouri. The experience there was fantastic, with plenty of entertainment options and beautiful views. It's definitely worth checking out if you're ever in that area.
