This hotel definitely met all our needs in every way! The staff was very friendly and helpful and wonderful to talk to! The owner was sweet as well. The room was perfectly cleaned, smelled nice and had everything we needed. The bed was absolutely one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in! The hotel is convenient to everything, we... More

I give five stars when a property meets or exceeds my expectations, and this one did. Our second-floor room was obviously recently redone, with all new carpet, fixtures, bedding, etc. But the whole property sparkled--from the clean as a whistle parking lot to the lovely planters along the balconies and lot to the super clean windows. Breakfast area is small... More

This hotel offers a good view off of the balcony walkways of the Smoky Mountains. Pick a second floor room and rocking chairs are right outside your door to relax and enjoy the clean mountain air. The continental breakfast is ok with cereal, breads, toaster waffles and not much more but we have had a lot worse. No pool but... More

Price was high for the lodging and amenities probably because it was Memorial Day Weekend. We booked in advance and it was hard to find available rooms. Regardless, the hotel staff were very helpful, even called the room to make sure everything was good. Breakfast was mostly pastries and toaster waffles but plenty of choices of cereal and grits, oatmeal,... More

We stayed on the second floor which the hotel clerk said was recentely renovated. Simple room but clean and new. Only mins. from the casino and plenty of food. 20 mins. from great hiking in the Great Smokie Mountains. We were so pleased we stayed another night. Front desk very helpful.

This is a great property, if, like me, you like old school, park at the door, motels. Clean as can be and very conveniently located right between the "cultural district" and "casino district" (as the road signs say) of Cherokee. We stayed one night in a room with two double beds which also included a fridge. Yes, the TVs are... More

Paid 79 dollars, which I thought was steep over the phone but I found the place well worth it. Very clean room, very nice people. For just a brief visit to the area, this place is a terrific choice for a reliably clean, cheap room.
