Loved having a fire pit and lawn chairs to use in the evening. The complementary coffee, hot cocoa and popcorn in the room were a wonderful addition. The convenience of parking directly outside your room was an added bonus. ##### Glen Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph Jan 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### This mom & pop motel is an exceptional find! This place is a gem and we will certainly stay there in the future. When we arrived the room was warm and there was a bucket of ice in the mini-fridge. This is not a large chain location. Many small touches from rolled towels to hand soaps, to a small rubber ducky on the bathroom towel set make this a comfortable place. I was able to park my my truck up right in front of the room door. I was unsure of our stay since the price point was excellent. I can see now that this establishment likely makes good money on tips. The only review deficiency I made was in comfort by one star due to the mattresses being softer than I like. That is a minimal thing that some would differ in opinion. The overall stay was excellent and superior to the $400/night resort down the street. ##### Joseph Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tara Jan 2, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Property pet friendly.

The rooms are updated and extremely clean. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Easy walk to shopping, dining etc. We stay here every year and will be back. Thank you. ##### EARL Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer Jul 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This is a very clean and cute motel. The owners do a lot to please their customers. The lot is on the smaller side, so if there is more than one person there with a car trailer, it takes juggling around and good maneuvering around during your stay. ##### Jennifer Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debra Jun 20, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hotel that goes the extra mile for it's customers. We went to Annual Conference at Lake Junaluska. The Cardinal Inn was close to restaurants, shopping, Maggie Valley, Waynesville. The owners are friendly and always willing to interact with those staying there. If you need anything, they will gladly get it for you. Not a chain restaurant. We enjoyed the relaxing stay and will go back again. ##### Debra ### 10/10 Excellent #### Benjamin Dec 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities A ##### Benjamin Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - [Lodging](?equalTargetTab=tab-0) - [Flights](?equalTargetTab=tab-1) - [Packages](?equalTargetTab=tab-2) - [Cars](?equalTargetTab=tab-3) - [Vacation Rentals](?equalTargetTab=tab-4) - [Things to Do](?equalTargetTab=tab-5) - [Meadowlark Motel with Restaurant & Bar](https://www.expedia.com/Cherokee-Hotels-Meadowlark-Motel.h21332751.Hotel-Information) - [Travelowe's Motel](https://www.expedia.com/Cherokee-Hotels-Travelowes-Motel.h8275387.Hotel-Information) - [Heart of the Valley Motel](https://www.expedia.com/Maggie-Valley-Hotels-Heart-Of-The-Valley-Motel.h82728626.Hotel-Information) - [Jonathan Creek Inn and Villas](https://www.expedia.com/Cherokee-Hotels-Jonathan-Creek-Inn-And-Villas.h5013272.Hotel-Information) - [Scottish Inn](https://www.expedia.com/Maggie-Valley-Hotels-Scottish-Inn.h93448900.Hotel-Information) - [Quality Inn & Suites Maggie Valley - Cherokee Area](https://www.expedia.com/Cherokee-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Suites-Maggie-Valley-Cherokee-Area.h523030.Hotel-Information) - [Clarketon Motel](https://www.expedia.com/Cherokee-Hotels-Clarketon-Motel.h12586186.Hotel-Information) - [Clarion Hotel Conference Center](https://www.expedia.com/Cherokee-Hotels-Clarion-Hotel-Conference-Center.h23797.Hotel-Information) - [Comfort Inn near Great Smoky Mountain National Park](https://www.expedia.com/Cherokee-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Near-Great-Smoky-Mountain-National-Park.h24580.Hotel-Information) - [The Dogwood](https://www.expedia.com/Maggie-Valley-Hotels-The-Dogwood.h112138074.Hotel-Information) - [Five Star Inn](https://www.expedia.com/Cherokee-Hotels-Five-Star-Inn.h12085632.Hotel-Information) - [Maggie Valley Creekside Lodge](https://www.expedia.com/Cherokee-Hotels-Maggie-Valley-Creekside-Lodge.h13279197.Hotel-Information) - [A Holiday Motel](https://www.expedia.com/Cherokee-Hotels-A-Holiday-Motel.h2679370.Hotel-Information) - [The Valley Inn](https://www.expedia.com/Maggie-Valley-Hotels-The-Valley-Inn.h96669709.Hotel-Information) - [Smoky Falls Lodge](https://www.expedia.com/Cherokee-Hotels-SMOKY-FALLS-LODGE.h17496578.Hotel-Information) - [Mountain View Lodge One Level Easy Access Pet Friendly Family Gatherings](https://www.expedia.com/Maggie-Valley-Hotels-Beautiful-Creekside-Lodge.h76252285.Hotel-Information) - [Laurel Park Inn](https://www.expedia.com/Cherokee-Hotels-Laurel-Park-Inn.h16120002.Hotel-Information) - [Best Western Mountainbrook Inn](https://www.expedia.com/Cherokee-Hotels-Best-Western-Mountainbrook-Inn.h17358.Hotel-Information) - [Four Seasons Inn](https://www.expedia.com/Cherokee-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Inn.h8838160.Hotel-Information) - [Maggie Valley Cabin in the Western North Carolina Mountains.
