Our stops have included Perry,Tifton,Valdosta. All have decent hotels. We always pick Holiday Inn Express(rewards member) Perry does seem to have the best pricing. You will see many signs for discounted hotels for Perry along I-75. 9 out 10 times we make it to Valdosta from Michigan. Then the next day it is about a 3 to 4 hour drive to Disney. Also just before you plan to stop pull into a rest stop and pick up a couple booklets containing hotel discounts. Enjoy the drive.
