The Resurrection
Pros:

The price, the property's resurrection, and the staff. This location was once called The Efficiency Lodge. I'm from Cartersville, and anyone who knows about the Lodges history will tell you that the owners of Southern Suites has resurrected that location and it's reputation, so much so that I past the location twice looking for Southern Suites in an area I knew well and in a highway I traveled frequently. When I called a third time for the directions my voice sounded a bit agitated, but the front desk clerk remained courteous, patient, and kind. This time, the front desk clerk showed her adaptibility skills and decided to go off sketch that was scripted :to put distance between the old and the new lodge, and rightfuly so. The old lodge had become one of Cartersville sore spots. She asked me was I from the area, when I replied yes she quickly said, and I quote; "It's where the efficiency lodge use to be." Had I not seen how nice the rooms were before hand, my first instinct would have been to say thank you, but no thank you. I'm glad that I didn't. The rooms were exactly like the pictures. New floors, new amenities, new appliances, and a comfortable bed with night lights in the head board. I'm a regular
Great touch!
Great job!

Cons:

Leaving. Please keep up the good work.

Good price but terrible management and staff
Cons:

The management was like a cult and did what they wanted to do and thought as if they were Gods of the hotel

There was no stay. Very poor service. Very, very poor.
Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

Very displeased. Had to get a room at a different hotel. Arrived to a closed office with a note taped to the door. I called the number provided twice. It went to a random person’s cell phone. Waited 25min. With the noise of a tented church service in the parking lot. No help of any kind arrived. So I left to find another room to stay in. This is why I have asked to be refunded any cancellation charge.
