I was traveling from Michigan to Disney World by car with 2 kids and so half way through the trip we stopped here for the night. For the price it was ok. The room was smelly and I told the kids to just sleep in their clothes. It wa a good placed to lay your head but was happy to get out of there. We did not use the towels or anything, they just did not look clean.

The manager of this motel seemed genuinely happy to have us stay at his motel. The room decor is basic, but for $45 it was great! There was a fridge and microwave, a TV, of course, and free WI-FI. There were a couple of hairs on the bathroom floor, but other than that the room was clean. The bedding was very nice. The place was very quiet, even though it was near the freeway. There was free coffee, juice, bagels, and donuts available in the lobby in the morning, and the resident manager was in place to greet guests and wish them well for their journey.

DO NOT LET THE PICTURE FOOL YOU, in the Econo Lodge add online!!! I traveled to Cartersville on business in Jan. of 2010. Had a reservation for that evening but after two delays and detours I arrived at the so-called Econo Lodge at around 2:45 a.m. I obviously awoke the owner/proprietor as he entered the front desk w/ his hair standing up and as if he were annoyed. After a twelve hour drive I was just happy to be there and was ready for some rest. My hire in was the next morning at 7:00 so I figured I would get a couple hours sleep and everything would be fine. I went up to my room, opened the door, and the room was about twenty degrees, the same as it was outside this freezing night. My dog was traveling w/ me and seemed to be as much, if not more, disgusted by the smell. The door looked as if it had been busted down at least 3 or 4 times, like this was the number one meth lab motel in Cartersville. NO KIDDING!! I slept in my clothes, on top the bed and would have never dared to get under those covers, dressed, let alone unclothed. The room finally warmed up about and hour and a half later enough for me to fall asleep; although, the heater was so loud, if I had not been so exhausted, it would have never happened. Got a couple hours of sleep, woke up, and what did I see? COCKROACHES CLIMBING THE WALLS!!! NO KIDDING!!! HOW COULD ANYONE SELL A ROOM LIKE THIS TO ANYONE!!!! DISGUSTING!!! DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!! MY DOG IS STILL PISSED AT ME!!!

First the good---this place has eye appeal with its location on a gentle slope above the highway.It is convenient to several nice places to eat.You can walk down the slope to the Fruit Jar Restaurant(good country cooking) ,and the grounds are immaculate with a very inviting pool.The room,although clean,had some unattractive mismatched furniture that needs to be replaced.The air conditioning unit was at the back of the room and struggled noisily all weekend to cool the room.The temp never did get as comfortable as I like.The people who work here were not unfriendly but seemed aloof and not amiable.I also had to pay up front before we checked in. They would not just take my credit card and let me pay when we checked out.The coffee in the morning was fresh and good and was accompanied by some nondescript dry cereals and doughnuts.Really,this place could be improved greatly by a friendlier staff. It was, though, a good bargain ,and its cleanliness and location give it a good rating as far as I am concerned.It is pet friendly also.We will return.
