I didn’t like the fact that the pool wasn’t even open
They are in the process of renovating so after complete will be a nice property. Our door to the balcony was in need of repair and u can tell someone had broken in previously… bathroom super tiny and one bed had a stain on the sheet.
About what I expected for its age. Nice enough but several cobwebs with a bug and spider.

Staff was very nice an accommodating. Would stay here again because of how there service was. but the pictures look better than the actual room. Its an older hotel.
Great place to stay! Have stayed multiple times and will probably continue, since it has smoking rooms and a nice quiet vibe. Have had many friends come to rent other rooms there on trips and we all enjoy staying at Rodeway Inn while in Cherokee!
