Top Sylva Hotel Reviews

Great Smokies Inn Cherokee

10/10 Excellent

"reasonably priced and very clean"

Best Western Plus River Escape Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"A nice property in a good position. It was clean and staff helpful. It has aged though and the carpet, small bathroom, decor and unusual smells upon entering the room felt dated. The gym was underwhelming with some of the equipment not working. The breakfast bar needed a much broader selection of food and additional staff to support the one lady working there. Maintenance work on the property seemed to a good standard in general and was noticeable, it just needs a facelift to shine."

Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort - A Caesars Rewards Destination

8/10 Good

"I was here on business and am not much of a gambler but there were plenty of food options and the amenities were clean."

Cherokee Grand Hotel

8/10 Good

"Everything was nice except the bed and pillows. Bed was not comfortable and pillows need upgraded. Everything else was great!"

Stonebrook Lodge Cherokee

8/10 Good

"Clean room. Right across from casino"

Trailborn Highlands, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room with a patio. Adjacent to a wonderful restaurant. Front desk was kind and helpful. I wish that I could have stayed longer"

Microtel Inn & Suites By Wyndham Sylva Dillsboro Area

8/10 Good

"I was on the 3rd floor, room 314. Ice machine and vending machine in hallway behind elevator. Great, I take bucket, ice out it order and vending machine empty. I had a handicapped room although I'm not handicapped. I had a large shower, you could roll a wheel chair in to it. Floor would get all wet. I love soaking in a tub. Room smelled musty and the carpet always felt damp. I wore sandals walking from bed to bathroom."

Jonathan Creek Inn

10/10 Excellent

"It had a very nice little deck area down by the river"

Qualla Cabins and Motel Cherokee near Casino

8/10 Good

"If you stay in one of the cabins stay in cabins 1 though 7 or 8 to avoid the car wash disco light show on the other side of the river. The car wash turns the lights on around 6pm and turns them off at 6am. It's like having a police car parked outside your window with the lights flashing all night. Thankfully were able to move cabins after the first night. Also consider booking through the motel itself to pick the right cabin."
