Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort - A Caesars Rewards Destination

8/10 Good

"The main public-facing part of the property was amazing especially along the stream in the middle. All staff were very polite and helpful. The room we received was fine…a bit disappointing to see the wall paper and faux crown molding separated from the walls in the hallway of our room along with dirty floors. Overall a fun and pleasant experience for the middle of the week…I’m sure things get a lot busier over the weekends or when there are shows."
