For the price i paid the room was old and worn out. Hot water lasted for about 10 minutes. They advertise a jetted tub how are you suppose to fill it? The place is dated and run down. Blinds were broken and heat barely worked from an outside unit. Will not stay ever again.

Was expecting so much more for a place called the drama inn. Right off of the river, WOW sounded Great! HOWEVER NOT SO MUCH. The room was not equipped with enough of anything including toilet paper in which there was only a half a roll. The TVs are way outdated and had blurry screens, the walls were all scratched up All of the brass lighting fixtures were rusted and we found hairs on our pillows. We had to really do a rearrangement just to be able to stay there. It's really sad as this could be a nice place on the river in Cherokee however they're just running it day-to-day. The pillows were so old it was like sleeping on 20 pair of socks through into a pillowcase. I could go on and on but they really need to make some adjustments if they intend on gaining customers. As for me, pricing at $100 a night was not worth it. Again I say wow!

The staff was kind and efficient. The front desk personnel even did a quality check on our room and turned the heater on for us beforehand. I definitely will be back!
