Spent a couple of days in Cherokee for the 4th and we found the perfect spot at Great Smokies Inn. The hotel is nicely maintained, has a great pool area and is a convenient walk to several restaurants and shops. Beds are firm but still comfortable and our room had great water pressure with unlimited hot water which was nice. The TV’s are small (32”) but other than that no complaints. The casino was a quick five minute drive down the road and we were close to many great fishing spots. We will definitely come back to the area and stay here again.

Pool closed at 3:30, same time as check in. Only due to a little thunder. Never stormed! And, the pillows were thin! We did not sleep well! We were going to stay again in August, we canceled and booked 2 nights elsewhere.
