Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Room was good, bed was comfortable. They are doing some work in some of the rooms but overall I would stay again. The staff was very friendly. The continental breakfast was okay. The things like sausage sandwich and french toast were premade and had to microwave them. Coffee was very good, it was great for a quick breakfast. Within walking distance of a lot of shops and a five minute drive to the casino.

Best hotel in Cherokee. The staff were super nice, the rooms were very clean, and the location was perfect. It is the only hotel I stay at when I go to Cherokee once or twice a year.

The beds were comfy and it was great having three beds in the room. The only drawback was the WiFi was nonexistent. We stayed two nights and it wasn’t too big a problem but If you are someone who needs WiFi this may not be the place for you.
