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.

Good breakfast
Sonia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Theresa, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was clean but smelled musty. The a/c unit was too high to reach without standing on a chair that felt unsafe. Very clean and close to eating/shopping.
