Loved our stay here. Very close to so many interesting sites at the reservation! Walking distance to many of the attractions and retail stores. Very close to the river to wade in or trout fish in! Lots to do and see! Rooms are clean and updated. The breakfast are is small but easy to get a plate for breakfast and take back to your room.

I was quite in empressed. When we stayed in Gatlinburg the rooms were nasty and not fit. This wasn’t nothing like that. As a matter of fact we may stay there next time we go to Cherokee. The whole city and surroundings were awesome! We really enjoyed it.

Great location, within walking distance of the visitor center and the trout stream. Breakfast is minimal, you might want to go out for breakfast. The lady at the front desk is genuine Cherokee, she taught me a couple of native words.
