Stonebrook Lodge Cherokee

8/10 Good

"The hotel provided. Clean room with the expected amenities. The room coffee is awful, but it is everywhere else, so just deal with it. We did not eat the breakfast but went to Peter’s Pancake Hose which was excellent."

Trailborn Highlands, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room with a patio. Adjacent to a wonderful restaurant. Front desk was kind and helpful. I wish that I could have stayed longer"

Microtel Inn & Suites By Wyndham Sylva Dillsboro Area

8/10 Good

"I was on the 3rd floor, room 314. Ice machine and vending machine in hallway behind elevator. Great, I take bucket, ice out it order and vending machine empty. I had a handicapped room although I'm not handicapped. I had a large shower, you could roll a wheel chair in to it. Floor would get all wet. I love soaking in a tub. Room smelled musty and the carpet always felt damp. I wore sandals walking from bed to bathroom."

Cherokee Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, simple, helpful staff, everything as advertised. That’s what I want. That’s what I got."

Jonathan Creek Inn

10/10 Excellent

"It had a very nice little deck area down by the river"

Qualla Cabins and Motel Cherokee near Casino

8/10 Good

"If you stay in one of the cabins stay in cabins 1 though 7 or 8 to avoid the car wash disco light show on the other side of the river. The car wash turns the lights on around 6pm and turns them off at 6am. It's like having a police car parked outside your window with the lights flashing all night. Thankfully were able to move cabins after the first night. Also consider booking through the motel itself to pick the right cabin."

Newfound Lodge on the river

8/10 Good

"The room was clean. The carpet was new. The view of the river was excellent. Had a few issues but the staff quickly corrected them. We plan to stay here in the future"

10/10 Excellent
