Nasty lady at front desk

Lady upfront was a total pain in behind. I will never go back. I told her that her customer service was awful and she told me she didnt care. For that, I will never go back.

This hotel is off the main street and a little old and starting to show its age. Front desk service was underwhelming. They are closed from 2200 until 0800. Hopefully you don't need any help. We hsve been coming here for quite sometime but will probably stay somewhere else. No breakfast either.

Decent place to stay

My stay here was ok. Breakfast was a joke. And i went out at 750 and again at 810. Nothing. Finally about 920 i went out to coffee,wheat toast, yogurt, juice and waffle. So i was disappointed.

Check in was easy, room was immaculate, clean and comfortable. Everything in place that was needed.thry said Breakfast was available and the gentleman in the morning went out of his way to make sure breakfast was there. Actually saw elk on the property in the morning. Will definitely reserve rooms here again.

If you looking for an inexpensive place to stay while visiting Cherokee, NC, this is not a bad option. The hotel and rooms are dated, but so are most hotels in this area. But it was quiet, the bed was comfortable, and the shower worked nice. No cooked food for breakfast, but there’s coffee, cereal, a waffle maker, yogurt and fruit. And it’s only a 5 minute drive to Harrah’s casino and 3 minutes drive to shopping and tourist attractions.
