I was quite in empressed. When we stayed in Gatlinburg the rooms were nasty and not fit. This wasn’t nothing like that. As a matter of fact we may stay there next time we go to Cherokee. The whole city and surroundings were awesome! We really enjoyed it.

Great location, within walking distance of the visitor center and the trout stream. Breakfast is minimal, you might want to go out for breakfast. The lady at the front desk is genuine Cherokee, she taught me a couple of native words.
