Best Western Plus River Escape Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Not really in a location that you would expect to have a hotel. Although we felt very safe. Staff was friendly and rooms were very clean. Breakfast bar and coffee bar were excellent for grabbing and going. We do need fresh bananas! Over all I would stay at this facility again."

Stonebrook Lodge Cherokee

10/10 Excellent

"We actually stayed 3 nights at this hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious and clean. Beds were very comfortable. The only negative comment I have is that the coffee is horrible but everything else was excellent. We didn’t take advantage of the free breakfast but they offer waffles, bagels, assorted muffins, instant oatmeal, and assorted cereals along with juices. I would stay here again."

Newfound Lodge on the river

10/10 Excellent

"Had a wonderful stay would definitely recommend"

Cherokee Grand Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel was pleasant enough. I would stay there again."

The Terrace at Lake Junaluska

10/10 Excellent

"Good breakfast buffet!"

Qualla Cabins and Motel Cherokee near Casino

10/10 Excellent

"You can tell it's an older property, but they've updated it. It was super clean and cute. We were at the far end of property and my only issue was it took forever, and I man forever. Like probably over 5 minutes to get hot water to the shower. It came just to a while. Will stay here again close to the casino."

Balsam Mountain Inn

8/10 Good

"Great opportunity to step back in time at this rustic 1920s lodge in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mtns. Tons of character, lots of areas to hang out and play games, peruse their library, and settle in with a book on their fabulous front porch. Quiet location, 20 minutes away from the charming towns of Sylva and Waynesville, NC. Lodging includes free breakfast, a satisfying southern buffet—waffles, cheesy grits, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, etc. Staff is friendly. Service is “relaxed.”"

Clarion Pointe Sylva near Cherokee Area

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean. Breakfast was good. Elevators were broke and no shower curtain in bathroom. Good location it's the first stop before you get get to sylva nc."

Cozy Creek Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"Was pleasantly surprised by this gem of a place! Loved our stay there and would highly recommend it to anyone traveling or wanting to stay for an extended time!! We will definitely be back anytime we are in the area!"
