Not a desirable location, everything around was vacant, people sleeping in tents around the hotel. As you can see in the pictures I have attached. Would not refund my money. I book at The Stonebrook Lodge where it was a much nicer location. I do not recommend

I loved this motel located in Cherokee. It is close to the Smoky Mountains and not far to Bryson City. We had a group of 10 and booked various rooms downstairs. I called and spoke with Patti several times asking questions and making changes. She was great to work with. Parking is at the edge of the road, but also at your doorway. I only heard traffic if a load motorcycle or vehicle went by. We used a sound spa that blocked out most noise. I only heard someone in the room above us one night and it wasn’t bad. The rooms have all been renovated and were very clean. The shower was hot with good water pressure. We had a nice balcony overlooking the river. The ice and microwave are located in the office. The office is open from 9am-9pm. My rating is 4.5 as I would like to use a microwave at 4-5am before I head out to hike.

We loved the simplicity & hospitality of the hotel a few years ago - enjoying the river from our balcony was wonderful. We were hoping it fared well in Helene and are relieved it was spared from devastation. The museum was memorable. Hope to return soon.

Very clean and such a peaceful place To sit on balcony above the water and relax. The lady in the office was extremely nice, totally happy with our stay. We went and saw the elk at welcome center until dark and also very early the next morning. Of course you have to eat at Peter’s Pancakes, my favorite breakfast. We will return.

Pleasantly surprised with the updated and very clean room given the affordability. Beds comfortable and plenty of channels on the TV. Private large balcony - room 202 - directly over the water with rocking chairs to enjoy the sounds of the flowing creek. Young lady checking us in was very accommodating and hospitable and readily offered to let us see a room before booking. Close to several restaurants and shops.

This motel is at a great location in the town and as advertised right on the river. Staff were friendly and readily gave advice on the best places to eat. Coffee and snacks available as well. Rooms were clean and quite large. Great to sit on the deck early morning and late afternoon and watch the river flow by.

The hotel was clean; the staff was friendly and helpful. I love the river right outside the back. While close to the road, I did not hear the road sound. They understand the modern family and had LOTS of charging points. One issues the office opened at 8 so no access to ice for my cooler

Perfect weekend getaway. Room had been recently remodeled and was spotless. Really enjoyed the balcony overlooking river. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Motel was in ideal location, within walking distance of several shops and restaurants. Will definitely be back!
