Very happy with our stay.. staff was great

Stay overall was fine.. room had obviously need of repairs because of the unpainted drywall all over. The staff was amazing. We had to leave out early and they refunded our other night back to us. Everyone was supper friendly… I would still recommend it to anyone coming to town. Great location as well.

A Great Break

The hotel staff was great about adding another day to our stay. The room was extremely nice. The only thing was the hot water was not that hot. The weather was cold so a hot bath would have been nice. No complaints, everything went smoothly. Can't wait to be back in Cherokee again.
