Clarion Pointe Cherokee

"Price was good"

Great Smokies Inn Cherokee

10/10 Excellent

"The young lady at the front desk was amazing. Offered to let me park my motorcycle under the front awning so it would be in the shade. This was our first time staying in Cherokee, usually stay around Townsend or Tellico Plains Tennessee but we will 100% be back next time we travel down that way. Nice quiet location away from the main strip, but close enough that we could walk to a few places."

Rolling Hills Lodge

8/10 Good

"Tasty cooked to order breakfast each morning, but only a one hour window available. Staff was friendly enough, but you were not allowed to enter the lobby. I had to check in and order breakfast through a window while standing outside. The location was very conveniently located while also away from the traffic in the city. We had an awesome view of a bull elk from the property at night and in the morning. I will absolutely stay there again when I visit the area."
