Top Smokey Mountain Gold & Ruby Mine Hotel Reviews

Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort - A Caesars Rewards Destination

10/10 Excellent

"staff very helpful and breakfast was good"

Qualla Cabins and Motel Cherokee near Casino

8/10 Good

"Very clean room and excellent staff. Loved the amenities they set up including playing games and tubing. Our cabin was very clean and an excellent choice for pets with porch overlooking the creek flowing by. The area felt safe and close to downtown Cherokee which is wonderful dining shops and river walk. Stay a few nights. Only compliant is that the carpet was wet from broken AC. We had to lay down towels. They were booked up or I would have asked for another room. Would have been nice to receive credit towards another stay. The interior is really out dated furniture for price. Overall fantastic stay and we will be back."

Newfound Lodge on the river

8/10 Good

"My husband and I stayed one night at this hotel. It was just okay as it is a terribly old hotel that has not been maintained. Wallpaper was stapled back up and all doors were scratched up so horribly that one would think a horrible fight or something happened. The beds themselves actually felt and looked vbery clean but everything else was just kinda "icky". It was fine for one night but I defintiely wouldn't want to stay longer. Exterior of building is very messy, dirty, unkept as well which made going to/from car a bit uneasy with their very low lighting. Did not use balcony."
