The room was clean and had all the amenities you'd need. The area around was very walkable and friendly to get around. Parking was extremely easy even with the seemingly busy weekend they were having. Staff was extremely friendly and the breakfast was top notch 🙌

The staff did not let us know what the Wifi password is or did they have a piece of paper to give us. We tried calling the front desk to no avail and finally had to go to the front and press the buzzer several times until someone came out.

This lodge is located next to the road. The building was older but kept up. The room was huge and had 2 King size beds. Bathroom was big too, could have used bars to get in tub for shower as tub sides were high. Very convient to local business and restaurants. Checkin was easy.

Bedding, including mattress, needs to be replaced. Furniture is outdated and the room in general needs to be refreshed. There was an overwhelming odor of room refresher or perhaps some type of cleaner. The room, in general, did appear to be clean.

Hit or Miss

Very nice gentleman at check in. The room and bathroom were nice sized but I have to question the cleanliness due to mold and old coffee in the coffee pot.

Lovely stay!

Helpful and friendly staff, and clean but small rooms. The lodge offered a plate of very tasty breakfast each morning and cold water bottles if needed (no water fountain on site). The rooms have a minifridge. Complementary wifi worked well enough for light internet browsing. Each room has two rocking chairs out front. Qualla Arts and a few tourist gift shops are walking distance.
