Very nice gentleman at check in. The room and bathroom were nice sized but I have to question the cleanliness due to mold and old coffee in the coffee pot.

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.

Best hotel

The hotel was very peaceful and you could see the elk when it was feeding time. The hotel had rocking chair out side for you to sit and relax in. I could not asked for a better time. We had stayed in other hotel and pay alot more but this one is one of the nicest one there is. You could walk to the store and see the river across the street.
