The property is well maintained as it always clean & ready for occupancy, after a long ldistance of driving.
Whenever I visit the Cherokee location, I always stay at this Econolodge, because I like the way everything is kept. Including the plants that are on the property.

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.

Very helpful front desk staff!
Rooms were sparkly clean, plenty of hot water (it was cold this past weekend) and location was great for going out and sight-seeing the area!
Price per night is reasonable - you get your bang for the buck!
