Top Downtown Waynesville Hotel Reviews

Cherokee Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay. Everyone is so nice and the bed was comfortable."

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Cherokee / Casino by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay for two nights. I was visiting for concert at the casino across the street. It was super convenient and there was quite a few things to see that were walking distance. Clean room and very friendly staff. The breakfast was really good - such a great inclusion for the stay. Free parking in the lot made things easy after a long drive."

Great Smokies Inn Cherokee

10/10 Excellent

"The young lady at the front desk was amazing. Offered to let me park my motorcycle under the front awning so it would be in the shade. This was our first time staying in Cherokee, usually stay around Townsend or Tellico Plains Tennessee but we will 100% be back next time we travel down that way. Nice quiet location away from the main strip, but close enough that we could walk to a few places."

Balsam Mountain Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The inn is absolutely beautiful. Loved the huge front porch with the resident yellow cat, the game/puzzle room, and all the antiques in the hallways. The breakfast that was included was delicious and the dining area is beautiful as well. I was surprised how cool the inn stayed without any air conditioning. The ceiling fan and open windows kept us comfortable all night, even on the 2nd floor in August! The only downside was the mattress in our room - it was extremely firm with not much padding. My daughter is a junior at WCU and I've stayed at several hotels in the area, but this was by far my favorite. I'll definitely be back!"

A peaceful retreat with a melody all it's own...come experience Maggie's Song!

10/10 Excellent

"Maggie‘s song was the perfect getaway Cabin in the Maggie Valley Asheville area. We enjoyed taking day trips to Asheville and driving to Highlands and cashiers then come back to the cabin in the early afternoon and cook supper grill steaks or hamburgers and relax in the peaceful setting of Maggie song."
