Not bad just disappointing

Disappointing, that's the word that best describes my experience. The room was tiny, stinky, dirty, and def not worth what we paid to stay there. There are signs and notes everywhere with rules like you're staying at a mean mother-in-law's house. The "award winning breakfast" is a taco with egg, mushroom, peppers, and onions. It comes with fruit and half a cinnamon roll. There is no alternative, and if you ask for something different, the lady cooking the food will tell you that their breakfast won an award. Well, I'm allergic to onions and she used the same hand to touch everything, so it doesn't matter if it's "award winning" if I can't eat it. And you can not take a plate back to the room for your spouse. You have to be at the window between 8am and 8:55am in person, or you get nothing. The ice machine is broken, and you can only ask them for ice between 2pm and 10pm. It is in a good lication, but everything around it closes at 5pm. The young guy who works at the front desk is very sweet. You can not actually walk up to the front desk or enter the lobby, you have to do all business through a window. I can't lie, I cried over the amount of money we paid to stay here because I was so disppointed. It's not a terrible place, just not at all what I expected.

Great convenient motel.

Although a basic motel, we were very surprised at the quality of the bed and the breakfast was amazing. The room was spacious and very clean. The bath towels could use an upgrade as well as the TV channel choices. But these were very minor compared to the bed comfort and the very tasty hot breakfast! I recommend staying here if you want to be near everything in Cherokee.

The room was clean and had all the amenities you'd need. The area around was very walkable and friendly to get around. Parking was extremely easy even with the seemingly busy weekend they were having. Staff was extremely friendly and the breakfast was top notch 🙌

The staff did not let us know what the Wifi password is or did they have a piece of paper to give us. We tried calling the front desk to no avail and finally had to go to the front and press the buzzer several times until someone came out.

This lodge is located next to the road. The building was older but kept up. The room was huge and had 2 King size beds. Bathroom was big too, could have used bars to get in tub for shower as tub sides were high. Very convient to local business and restaurants. Checkin was easy.

Bedding, including mattress, needs to be replaced. Furniture is outdated and the room in general needs to be refreshed. There was an overwhelming odor of room refresher or perhaps some type of cleaner. The room, in general, did appear to be clean.

Lovely stay!

Helpful and friendly staff, and clean but small rooms. The lodge offered a plate of very tasty breakfast each morning and cold water bottles if needed (no water fountain on site). The rooms have a minifridge. Complementary wifi worked well enough for light internet browsing. Each room has two rocking chairs out front. Qualla Arts and a few tourist gift shops are walking distance.
