The place is a bit worn and dingy, but the reception was welcoming, the room was clean, the mattress was comfortable, and the water pressure in the shower was acceptable, so overall no major complaints.

The girl at the front desk was nice. The room smelled like smoke and mildew.

Check in was quick and easy. Our room was in the back, so it was nice and quiet. The beds were comfortable, though one squeaked so we didn’t sleep in that one. All the towels were clean, if a little small. Overall a good experience. We would stay there again.

The stay was great, rooms were nice and very clean. Front desk people were not very friendly. No one cracked a smile every time we went in there.

We needed a room for the night while travelling on our way to GSMNP. This inn had great reviews, and was like classic inns along the road rather than the big name standard places to stay.
It had all we needed...a clean room and a comfortable bed, small but sufficient bathroom (again so very clean!).
The surrounding area was lovely. A beautiful park nearby. Gas station and breakfast across the road.
There is a shopping area nearby that seems carried a lot of cherokee gift shops, if interested.
I would definitely stay here again when in the area.

Our rooms were nice and clean. The carpet was a little dated but was clean. The staff members were friendly and polite. The location was great, its near a lot of restaurants and places for having fun with family! Most definitely will stay at this location again.

Friendly staff. Peaceful & relaxing. This hotel will always be our first choice when we stay in Cherokee. We really enjoyed our stay. We travel on the edge of seasons, not when season is in full swing. This worked out great for us.

Good simple motel for the money. It’s older but well kept and fits the area. Wish it had conditioner and more towels, makeup remover etc.

Bed was comfortable but the rest of the accommodations were very outdated. We were so disappointed because our previous stay months ago was in a room in the additional building in the back. So much nicer and more up to date. But the carpet was in need of a deep clean shampoo.

Only had a one night stay but I’d highly recommend. Was extremely clean, staff was super pleasant and beds were comfortable. Don’t let the fact that this isn’t a chain hotel deter you from choosing to stay!

Received a call about 4 hours before check in time asking what time we would be arriving. Gave an estimated of the check in time. Was told if we arrived after 4:00 pm, we would have to call the "on call" person to check in! Really?!!! Arrived at check in time of 3:00. Door was locked. Someone finally came to the door for us to check in.
We were told if we needed anything after 4:00 we would have to call the on call person. The lobby is only open 8:00 am - 4:00pm. No worries!
We were not told "no daily housekeeping" at any time. We found a card in the room.
2 people staying in the room for 2 nights.
We had 2 queen beds (both as hard as a board), 3 wash cloths, 3 towels and hand towels. We did not call anyone. We did not complain. We will not stay at that hotel ever again. Spend a few more $$ and stay some place that has someone on duty!!
It appeared to be clean, but dusty. Enough said.

Great value and always clean. The beds aren't very comfortable and the blankets are thin. The area is safe and quiet.

Good location for access to national park. Price was OK. Furnishings were generally in good repair, but some updating is needed. Internet was fairly slow. Towels were small. Staff was efficient but barely cordial.

After a long drive through the Great Smoky Mountains, it was wonderful to be greeted by friendly staff, a clean lobby bathroom and then open the door to my room which was spacious, clean, quiet and felt very secure. Great dinner recommendation in walking distance to the inn. Thank you.

Loved this part of the Smokies. Natural and much less touristy.

This is by far one of the cleanest inns I’ve ever been in. I was very reluctant to book because I wanted something that I recognized like Marriot, so I read reviews and they were good but this by far exceeded my expectations. It was clean, the staff was super friendly and accommodating, the grounds were clean. It was great. I realized later that there were some chain brands a few miles up the road, but everytime I visit the Smokey Mountains, I will be checking in to this spot. Thank you for going above and beyond and being passionate about hospitality

The bed was extremely hard and the room had a musty smell to it. It definitely wasn’t worth the money we paid. The ice bucket did not have a liner. The ice machine was broke. We won’t stay there again.
