The hotel has some age on it but they have upgraded the exterior and interior to a place where this is a solid value. Right on the river the rooms have excellent views from their balconies. The Room 151 was perfect. Great location to the casino. Pete’s Pancake House best place for breakfast.

The motel was dated but clean. Loved the river in the back. Had a balcony which was great to sit outside and listen to the river and watch the wildlife.

Clean room and clean comfortable beds. We’ve stayed here previously and love how big the room is with an area with a love seat, small dining table, and refrigerator. We love setting on the balcony and enjoying the view.

The view from the balcony was the perfect thing, especially first thing in the morning. The staff was incredibly helpful and very friendly. The room was clean and the AC and the heater both worked well. A few minor upgrades are needed to the room, but nothing that would deter me from staying again

Great place to stay! Have stayed multiple times and will probably continue, since it has smoking rooms and a nice quiet vibe. Have had many friends come to rent other rooms there on trips and we all enjoy staying at Rodeway Inn while in Cherokee!

The room was very nice. However, both sinks leaked and the toilet rocked. There was no chair for the desk, I had to use the seating chair. Overall a nice stay. The balcony overlooked the river and was a nice place to sit peacefully.
