The room was freezing, sheets where stiff from it so cold, no ice box but It didn't matter because the ice machine didn't work. Toilet run and was tore up, no hot water, to take a shower it was hot water nozel turned on and barely warm. Only one garbage can in the whole room including bathroom. Only a few stations on the little tv, nothing to watch. Little refrigerator wasnt cold at all and not capable of holding or keeping drinks in it. Heater was turned on immediately and we left to go eat and when we came back the room was still freezing and was on high heat. 12 hrs later the little heater finaly clicked off. This was the worst place i believe i could have picked to stay in cherokee NC.

Nice view from balcony rooms are clean, only two problems, no decent chairs to sit in and the toilet is extremely low. Other than that, it was a good place to stay.

The AC/Heat unit did not work, coffee pot still had coffee in it from a previous guest. Light on balcony did not work. They did bring us a fan for the room. Pillows also need a serious upgrade. Stayed only 1 night. Would not book here again.
