Travelocity Verified Review
"This is a very clean place to stay which is why we chose it from others in Cherokee per other reviews. The only issue was the high humidity in the room even though we had the AC set at 74. A towel hung up wouldn’t dry by the next night. The vent in the bathroom didn’t work either in 113 which could have helped that problem but I’ll assume they had no idea it wasn’t working. It’s a good place to stay otherwise."
