This property is right across from the Harrahs Casino in Cherokee and ideal for a weekend casino getaway. Bathroom was not the cleanest but with shower shoes it was tolerable. Hallway smelt like weed half the time but that was because of the people staying there and not the hotel. Thin walls too. If you can sleep with a tv on to drown out noise from the next room you are good to go! Comfortable bed for sure!
