Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Hotel & Casino – A Caesars Rewards Destination

Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Hotel & Casino – A Caesars Rewards Destination

8/10 Good
"The hotel is in a newer building, so everything was clean and well-maintained. However, the service was disappointing, especially at check-in and the food court. Check-in took about 40 minutes, which was frustrating. The Starbucks experience was even more confusing. We were waiting in line for our morning coffee when the employees suddenly left for a break in the middle of serving customers. This caused a long delay, and I couldn't understand why they would all take a break while customers were still waiting. Aside from the poor service from certain staff members, the hotel itself was nice and in good condition. It's a shame that the service didn't match the quality of the facilities."
