I stayed for a week at the Cartersville Econo Lodge in January 2007. Never again! Below is a summary of my week there.

I would have to run the hot water in the shower for over 5 MINUTES to get warm water in the morning. The sheets looked terrible (stains and holes from cigarettes, even though I was in a non-smoking room). And, twice I found live roaches on a table in the room! Yuck! Also, the staff only cleans rooms every other day. Also, there was a very slight cigarette odor in my room even though it was supposed to be "non-smoking"

Halfway through my stay, all the electrical outlets in my room shut off, and the management could not fix the problem. So, they had to move me to another room. Obviously, this property has infrastructure issues.

There was no coffee maker in the room, and the continental breakfast was one of the worst I have seen: Just cold cereal (two types only), OJ, coffee, and donuts. And, just one tiny table that would only seat two people in the lobby! You would get your breakfast, then have to wait for 15 minutes to sit at the single table, or eat standing!!!

There was a small microwave in the room, but my room had no clock radio. There was also a small refrigerator in the room, but it was initially unusable because there was 2" of frost buildup in the freezer. So, I had to defrost it myself so I could store a few things in it.

The management staff is difficult to understand (foreign), and when I booked my room, they tried to raise the rate on me when I arrived, even though I had been quoted a cheaper rate by telephone.

The wireless internet service is poor: several nights the service completely disappeared, and even when it worked, it would only stay on an hour or so before requiring you to log in again.

In summary, I cannot recall ANYTHING that I could recommend regarding this motel. I would strongly suggest looking at other motels at this location - there are several others within 1/4 mile of this property.

Stayed here whilst travelling along the I-75. Good, clean motel, thought it was very good value for the price.
