Great Smokies Inn Cherokee

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean, well maintained hotel."

Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort - A Caesars Rewards Destination

10/10 Excellent

"### Great Stay, Excellent Food, and Wonderful Staff! I recently visited Harrah’s Cherokee Resort & Casino with my elderly parents, and we had a wonderful time! My mom thoroughly enjoyed playing the slots, while my dad was perfectly content people-watching in the lobby and common areas. There was something for everyone! The resort had plenty of great dining options. We especially appreciated the convenient Starbucks locations throughout the property. The Gordon Ramsay Food Market offered some delicious choices, although my parents struggled a bit with the digital ordering boards and QR codes. A more traditional ordering option would definitely make things easier for older guests. Beyond the food market, there were several excellent restaurants, with **Amici being a particular standout.** The food there was fantastic! My only complaint about the dining was the lack of fresh vegetable options. It was surprisingly difficult to find a good selection of vegetables or salads beyond the standard Caesar salad offered at most restaurants. A little more variety and some lighter, healthier options would be a welcome addition. The resort itself was clean, well-maintained, and fairly easy to navigate once we got familiar with the layout. However, it's worth mentioning that the property is HUGE! Walking from one end of the complex to the other can take a good 20 minutes. Great for getting your steps in, but not so great when traveling with elderly guests or anyone with mobility challeng"
