Property was Ok. Liked the location. We had a second story room which was fine but we were given a room that was farthest away from any stairs and the place was virtually empty.

Liked: Cleanliness
Ok place. Quick visit type stay. Nothing glamorous. Overpriced for weekend but somewhat anticipated with the casino just 5 minute drive away. But love Cherokee the town and area. Beautiful place!
The only real complaint would be the slight musty smell when we entered the room.
Bed was very comfortable. The rooms were mostly occupied, but all was quiet. Could use more handicap parking.
We will stay again.
Place was fine except for the room was especially humid, and there was no vent fan in the bathroom to help after showers so that just made it worse. Convenience to the casino and okay breakfast is the good.
This location is very centrally located and close to our family that we were visiting. The hotel is very clean, the bed was very comfortable and the front desk lady very friendly. I would highly recommend this hotel to others. We plan to return soon.
Quiet, relaxing and peaceful. Enjoyed the lawn chairs in front of the room.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The staff was excellent. Property was clean and well kept. Only real gripe was that Wifi was worse than spotty. Tried it on three separate devices (2 phones and a newer laptop). Was not able to access a consistent signal on any of our devices for more than a few minutes at a time when it did connect (yes, we rebooted the devices- multiple times). The continental breakfast was exactly that, but was fresh and tasty. Again, the staff was excellent. Looking for a clean, safe place, with a convenient location at a great value? This would be the place.
