Pictures were a little misleading. I didn't expect an older motel style room. The room was very roomy and clean. Was not told any information about breakfast at check in. Breakfast was good though.

It is a very nice hotel for the area if you want something quick, clean and reasonable. Not a lot of space to maneuver if you have a large SUV or a crew cab pick up but it is manageable. Staff is very friendly and helpful and while you're there you may see a herd of elk pass through early in the morning.

mouse (mice) in my garbage can
I've been staying in hotels for over 50 years and this is the first time I have ever seen a mouse in my room. I had thrown part of a hamburger away in the garbage can upon arrival. My first night I heard noises coming from the swamp cooler (cheaper version of air conditioners) even when it wasn't running & then rustling coming from the area of the garbage can. The next night I hear more rustling this time just from the garbage can area. The next morning around 5:30 AM I was awakened by the noise and turned the light on and saw a small brown mouse jump out of the garbage can and go under the armoire! I was traumatized & tried to call the front desk but the phone did not work in my room. I then went to the office and rang the buzzer several times, knocked on the window & door but no one answered. I finally called the hotel and the owner answered who met me at the office. I asked to checkout immediately as I couldn't stay in a hotel with mice. In his words he said "I will take great care of you and give you a generous credit". He took me to a different building of the hotel that was attached by a common portico and convinced me to stay and promised no mice. The wife of the owner said the exterminator who removed the mouse (mice?) said I must have either brought them in my suitcase (really from FL?) or they came in the door when it was opened. (I never left it open). She also threatened legal action if I told anyone about the mouse. The generous credit was only 1 night out of 5!

Great little place to stay, close to everything Cherokee has to offer. Room was comfortable and clean. Bed was comfortable and shower had plenty of hot water. The logde is a short drive to the Casino, dining, shopping and the play, Unto these Hills (not to be missed). Cherokee NC has changed a lot since my visit 60 years ago. Really a beautiful place to be enriched by Native American heritage.

Interesting. The room was very clean and neat. Location was very good and the “cooked to order hot breakfast” was very good. The breakfast consisted of a breakfast burrito served with fresh seasonal fruit and a pastry. The front lobby was off limits to guests, which at first seemed a bit odd. You interacted through a window including check in and out as well as ordering and receiving your breakfast. I was curious and asked about this and was told that they cook in the lobby area, so it must be off limits to guests. It had a 100 rating by the health department. There was also a nice patio like seating area where you can enjoy your breakfast. It was a unique and pleasant experience.
