Staff was great and very accommodating! Beds were comfortable and pillows nice. Floor in bathroom needs the grout cleaned. Rugs need cleaning. People standing around front door smoking and it smelled of smoke inside. People inside the entrance playing loud rap music. Wouldn’t stay there without my husband.

Convenient

Might be my new favorite place to stay when playing poker at Cherokee. You can literally walk across the street from Harrah’s, which means you can h e a few drinks and not have to worry about driving. And the people that work here are pretty chill (so far).

Just a place to lay down for a night

I booked this hotel as a last minute alternate to my preferred local hotel and I was disappointed. The room smelled stale and/or musty when I entered and it never quite dissipated. The complimentary toiletries had already been opened and used by a previous guest and the room hadn't been thoroughly cleaned (seals left where previous guest unsealed the toiletries in the shower). For a "mountain view deluxe", it was neither deluxe or much of a view.

Seemed quite worn out. I booked because of good ratings, but it did not reflect the 9.0 rating. Beds were uncomfortable. Pillows were flat. Floor felt very unclean. Needs an upgrade for sure.

Great Stay

From check-in to check-out the experience was great. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. Room was clean, very basic, no big friles, but in reality who needs them. It was perfect. I would have preferred getting a paper receipt, instead of email.
