Nice little hotel / motel. The ladies working in the office were very friendly & helpful. There are several places to get something to eat within a short walking distance. The room was clean & had everything we needed (including a refrigerator & microwave). Bed & pillows were comfortable. It was quiet & we had a good nights sleep. Plenty of easy parking. My wife & I stayed here after driving from Gatlinburg, after visiting the Smokey Mountains National Park.

I definitely recommend.

This was a last minute place to stay on our way home from Florida. I was pleasantly surprised at how cool the area of Cherokee was and how comfortable the Inn was. We are actually planning on going back next year and hopefully stay here again.

I booked because of the price and the reviews but I wasn't expecting much. The pictures online are dated. Room was exceptionally clean, smelled clean (not like room freshener - just clean), bed was comfortable and very little outside noise. I wish I would have spent another night there instead of heading to Gatlinburg.

So Close to Okolanuftee Welcome Center!

We've stayed here a few times now & it's always clean & welcoming. The room is very large with a desk & a large chair & ottoman. Not as updated or 'shiny' as some, but comfortable, quiet & VERY close to GSMNP & Okolanuftee Welcome Center. Bonus - there are several very good restaurants & shops within 5 mins walk!

Have stayed there a few times before. Our room had a funny smell. The parking lot was noisy beginning at 6:30 am. Motorcycles revving, people talking loudly and door slamming.
