First time staying at this hotel in Cherokee. The staff provided friendly service. There was plenty of parking available.The room was clean and comfortable. The shower had good pressure and plenty of hot water. A good deal for the price. My only issue was the outdoor chairs (metal frame and wood slats) being used as indoor furniture. No comfortable way to sit at the table and watch TV or use my laptop.

Mountain Dew

The initial room assignment presented significant challenges, characterized by conditions that severely impacted air quality, causing noticeable respiratory distress for both my wife and me. We initially speculated that these conditions were systemic throughout the complex, leading to confusion regarding the rationale for renting such a unit. Following a visit to the casino, we promptly contacted the attendant to request a room change, which was efficiently facilitated at 3:00 AM. The subsequent unit offered a significantly improved environment. Despite the initial room condition, the staff's performance was commendable.

They need new beds, and the pillows are like concrete slabs to sleep on. They don't fluff up at all, and everything feels wet in the room. It's very damp.

My room was spotless and very comfortable, with excellent water pressure in the shower. The staff were all so kind and welcoming, which made my stay even better. I didn’t get the chance to try out the pool, but it looked inviting and well kept. My only regret is that I couldn’t stay longer than one night—I’d definitely come back!
