Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had attractive and comfortable rooms, albeit with a slight odor. The service was top-notch with friendly and efficient staff. The location, though convenient for visiting the Cherokee area, lacked nearby amenities. The dining experience was good overall, especially for meat eaters. The facilities were well-maintained, providing a satisfactory stay.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were spacious, but the lack of wash rags was a bit inconvenient. The service was nice, but I wish they were more helpful in recommending Cherokee style restaurants. The location was convenient for exploring nearby attractions, yet the ambiance in the dining area felt a bit off-putting. Overall, it was a mixed experience.
