We have been staying in Cherokee for fall vacations for over 30 years. This is, BY FAR, the cleanest, most contemporary, well-maintained and friendly establishment we have encountered. GREAT breakfast, spotless facility, well-lit, great furnishings in room and lobby, comfortable beds, nice artwork and accessories, quiet and simply without any flaws that I could see. New bathroom fixtures, simple room temperature controls and a massive Smart TV. Great WIFI access. RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!!!! Will be our Go-To from now on. Kudos to management team and remodeling designers. Well done.

This looks like it was an old Comfort Inn that has been taken over by a private group. But the facilities were in excellent condition. And the staff were very friendly and accommodating. We really enjoyed our stay here. I plan on using this hotel next year as well when we come up for WCU football games. Also, they are apparently still connected with the Choice Hotels group in some way and you can earn or use Choice Hotel points here.
