The room was a pleasant surprise. I expected a dated, older looking hotel and room, but the condition of everything was in great shape. The morning continental breakfast was especially nice and the little lady behind the counter was friendly and fun to talk to. I found the hotel to be an unexpected gem and will stay there again the next time we head in that direction.

Room was clean and spacious, bed wa absolutely amazing. Now the breakfast was awful. There was hardly anything and what they had was all junk food. Last year it was an actual breakfast this year so sad.

They have three handicapped parking spaces with is insufficient given the many seniors that stay here during the summer and fall season. The parking lot is poorly lit with many holes. Will not stay here again.

Room was comfortable and nice except the floor by the door was slippery and hair in the corners of the bathroom. Breakfast was very basic and no lights for the dining tables.

We have been staying in Cherokee for fall vacations for over 30 years. This is, BY FAR, the cleanest, most contemporary, well-maintained and friendly establishment we have encountered. GREAT breakfast, spotless facility, well-lit, great furnishings in room and lobby, comfortable beds, nice artwork and accessories, quiet and simply without any flaws that I could see. New bathroom fixtures, simple room temperature controls and a massive Smart TV. Great WIFI access. RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!!!! Will be our Go-To from now on. Kudos to management team and remodeling designers. Well done.

This looks like it was an old Comfort Inn that has been taken over by a private group. But the facilities were in excellent condition. And the staff were very friendly and accommodating. We really enjoyed our stay here. I plan on using this hotel next year as well when we come up for WCU football games. Also, they are apparently still connected with the Choice Hotels group in some way and you can earn or use Choice Hotel points here.
