My family travelled from South Florida to Cartersville for a wedding. We checked into this hotel on December 28th and initially found quite a few lady bugs & stink bugs on the window sill. I wasn't happy with that but understand that these bugs exist in North Georgia and are harmless. However, after about a half hour or so of being there, I discovered a large roach crawling across the middle of one of the beds. My mother, who is 85 years old, had the room next to ours and also had several roaches in her room. My 2 aunts and 2 uncles, also all 80+ years old, were staying here as well but we all checked out after seeing the roaches in 2 of the rooms. As a result of having to find another hotel to stay in, we missed the rehearsal for my nephew's wedding which was quite disappointing especially since my mother, who is my nephew's only living grandparent and was in the wedding party, missed quite a few of the photos taken at the rehearsal. The front desk suggested that perhaps this was a palmetto bug and said that no one had ever complained of roaches before. I have lived in South Florida for over 30 years and am well aware of what a palmetto bug looks like. They sent a maintenance worker to the room with a spray bottle who not only confirmed that it was a cockroach and not a palmetto bug, but also did not seem to be surprised at all as if he was already aware of a roach problem in the hotel. We ended up booking 4 rooms at the Home2 Suites by Hilton but had to pay double the price. Because my mother and aunts/uncles are all seniors, this created an unexpected financial obligation which they were not prepared for so I had to pick up some of the additional cost for them. The hotel manager at the Home2 Suites said that this hotel needs to be completely closed and fumigated in order to get rid of the roaches. Since the hotel seemed to be aware of the issue before we got there and apparently did nothing (or at least did minimal pest control treatments which were unsuccessful), I doubt that will happen and therefore cannot recommend this hotel to anyone. I have never left a negative review about anything but felt strongly about warning others because in addition to being just plain disgusting, roaches carry all kinds of diseases, are easy to bring back home on clothing or in suitcases, and are hard and very expensive to get rid of once you have them. Please stay somewhere else when in Cartersville.
