The room was clean but smelled musty. The a/c unit was too high to reach without standing on a chair that felt unsafe. Very clean and close to eating/shopping.

The Energy is Awesome Here!

This is where we will always stay when we visit Cherokee. We loved the staff. We loved the proximity to the park. It was beautiful, comfortable, clean. And sincerely the staff there- every one of them are top notch people, very kind and personable and accommodating. The hotel is beautiful with gorgeous flower boxes everywhere and an exquisite view of the mountains and sky. This is a very special place. Thank you for our visit!!
