Small room but nice river view. Good for a couple of days. The major detail to fix is that the toilet was not properly attached to the floor, as a result, it shaken when sitting on it.

The property is very rundown but was decently clean. It had stains in the tub and awful wear and tear but it was kept clean ( for being so outdated.) 5 mins from Cherokee and 5 mins from Bryson city.

Property run down and the rooms need updated. Previous reviews mentioned crime with drug issues such as needles left in rooms. Our room was clean with no drug paraphernalia left behind. Probably better deals out there.

Comfortable bed, nice back porch to sit and watch the river, a/c worked fine. Didn’t like the thin bath towels and the cigarette butt container on back porch needed to be emptied (smell was strong).

The location is excellent. On the river, my room opened to the patio with picnic tables and rocking chairs. The front had rocking chairs to sit back and enjoy the scenery. The room was good, but the plumbing needs a little work.

Just set a new standard, the worst dump I have ever stayed in! Not expecting a 5 star by any means, but for the price was terrible! Look for accommodations elsewhere.

From the pictures I saw on Travelocity I was led to believe it was a country quaint with a river view. What we got was a DIY project with the view of the neighbors backyard junkyard. The kid that checked us in was very friendly and I will give them an A for cleanliness and friendliness. But they have a long way to go.

Room was as expected for an older hotel. BUT I booked and paid for a room with 2 queen beds - and what we got was 1 Queen bed and 1 Twin. I called and explained and they said it was the same “room category” as I booked and nothing else available. No refund either. Also…. The only light in the room is an excruciatingly bright 3 tube LED without a cover that is blinding. I have migraines and ask for a lamp with a dimmer bulb. No lamps either. Keep these things in mind should you plan to stay here.
