Dated but a nice stay

The property is definitely dated and could use a deep clean, however, the staff was great, the beds were comfortable and the view was amazing.

It was okay.

Lovely view of the river, but it is an older hotel and the age shows in the fixtures and bathroom.

Birthday in the Mountains

This was a great location that had several close food locations. The balcony was large and the river was beautiful! I appreciated them putting out bird seed so we could watch them. A second key would have been very helpful as well as changing the wallpaper in the bathroom that was peeling.

Relaxation at its finest!

Absolutely loved staying there. The little balcony with the rocking chairs next to the stream was everything. So peaceful. So quiet. Just beautiful. Well kept place to stay. Literal went to Dairy Queen which was steps away. So close to everything. We hardly left. Friendly staff. Easy to book.

Dont make reservations

The road from Gatlinburg closed due to a mud slide from heavy rains. We were not allowed to cancel or modify our reservation.

Stay down the road

Poor service and not clean. I arrived at 9pm to no one in the office to check me in. Room was gross and pillow cases were stained. Also had no towels. I'm usually a go with the flow, just need a place to sleep kinda girl but this was not even bare minimum... One positive note was pretty view of the creek from the balcony.

It's not for everyone but thats the point

First off, this hotel is dated and it shows, so if you are looking for modern creature comforts this is place is not for you. Wallpaper is coming off, water stains on the ceiling, and outdate furniture. If you ask me this gives it charm. The place was clean and lady at check was polite. The biggest draw of this place is how close you are to one of the best National parks and the view from the balcony. You could keep the balcony door open and fall asleep to the sound of the river running. The only negative i had during my stay and it wasn't the hotels fault was the strong smell of cannabis coming from outside balcony area at night. It wasnt there in the morning so we were able to enjoy a nice relaxing morning.

No complaints. Able to check in earlier than expected time. Room was clean, front desk receptionist was outstanding with customer service. Check on was very easy and fast.

Enjoyed the stay. My only suggestion would be to cut and upkeep the little walk bridge. It was such a beautiful place.

Good value for the price

Good room with a great river view from the balcony. Rooms are right on the river. No maid service while we were there. Dated facilty and decor, but good value for the price.

2/10 Poor

Room from the 70's! And just as nasty!

Cherokee is just not the same as it used to be. Seems like most everything is not even Native owned or operated. Prices are just ridiculous for food. 6 o'clock and everything closes down. Looks like a ghost town after 6pm. Probably be the last time I 'll visit Cherokee. The bed was horrible! Could not sleep at all. Woke up sore the next day. Cannot watch TV from the bed with the paper thin pillows. And 1 smelled like pee real bad! No cleaning service the next day. Had to walk to front desk to get everything. Only 1 ice machine at the other end of the motel and limited to a bucket a day. See pictures attached. Would not recommend to a homeless person!
Carpet was very nasty - Need socks or flip flops all the time. Seems like the room had been flooded but no repairs?
Bathroom vanity - NO hair dryer
Wall paper peeling everywhere - 1 ply toilet paper and only 1 roll
Carpet coming up
