Calhoun House Inn & Suites ★★★

📍 110 Bryson Ave, Bryson City

"We stayed at the Prairie edge suite it was meticulously clean. The kitchen and the appliances were well stocked and like new. The jetted tub was amazing with a tiled shower. The bed was firm and had a soft pillow top extremely comfortable and like New. The decor was Southwest Indian, cabin type furniture extremely comfortable and gorgeous. The living room also had a nice recliner, which was great. The view on the sitting porch out front of the suite was amazing to see the mountain range. It was very quiet there and peaceful. The owners were friendly and extremely helpful with letting us know the area information. The continental breakfast was just perfect along with many selections of coffee for the Keurig. We have stayed at a lot of hotels and cabins and I must say this is the best experience that we’ve had! Cleanliness peacefulness, and accommodations were outstanding. We definitely will be booking again there very soon"

Calhoun House Inn & Suites ★★★
"Our first time in Bryson City and we will be back. When we do we’ll definitely stay here. Artfully decorated, spotless and all the comforts of home. On our weekend getaway a chair on the front porch with a view of the local mountains . The only downside we could only stay two nights."

SureStay by Best Western Cherokee on the River ★★
"We love staying here and stay there every time we go to Cherokee. The room was what we planned this time though. Several things weren’t there or didn’t work. I really wish Rodeway would spend a little money here to fix the place up. It is the best location in Cherokee, yet treated as one of the after thoughts in investment. Please take these words to heart ♥️"

Folkestone Inn ★★★
"This was our fifth time staying at the Folkestone and each time the experience has been great! Toni and Scott are fantastic hosts. The Folkstone provides comfortable rooms and great location, being just minutes from Great Smoky National Park and Downtown Bryson City. There is so much to do in the area that we have found the Folkstone is a great place to make as our base camp. Each morning we were served a wonderful breakfast before setting out on our adventures. We will be back!"

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cherokee ★★
"We booked a suite that was supposed to have a Jacuzzi. After checkout it wasn't listed in the details but too late to cancel. I requested our room to be upgraded and never received a response or acknowledgement and of course we got stuck without one. Couldn't figure out where the pool was or even if they had one but supposedly they should have one. Water in the bath tub constantly dripped and we couldn't get it to shut off. We reported it immediately to the front desk as soon as we entered the room but we suffered 3 days with the nonstop sound of dripping running water because they had no one who could do maintenance. Our room was positioned directly over the lobby and across from the elevator and the soundproofing was almost non-existent. We heard everything. Dogs barking, neighbors arguing, doors closing, every trip of the elevator and every movement of the lobby doors. It was hard to get any sleep. And then the TV was quite old a 20" screen stuck at the ceiling with lots of noise / static across the picture. Hubby wanted to watch the FIFA games but the pic quality was so bad you couldn't even tell where the ball was. The wifi was only accessible on one side of the room and when you had access it was only 0.41mbs. It was clean if you ignore the dog hairs on the sofa and chairs etc. Breakfast was so-so. Nothing was made fresh it was all prepackaged stuff, and it was hot only if you microwaved it. So the stay was "alright" but we feel like we were overcharged considering all of the issues above. We took a vacay last year to Hot Springs spent the same amount of money per night and that hotel was pure luxury compared to this it was so clean, uptodate, hot fresh breakfast, big tv screen, cook stove, large refrigerator, even had some dishes stocked and a dishwasher in the room. You don't go on vacay for the room but at the very least you should be comfortable enough to relax during your stay especially at the rate they charge."

Two Rivers Lodge ★★
"Just returned from a trip to Bryson City. Stayed here and the owners are fabulous! It's a mom-and-pop No Frills Hotel, but a fabulous experience! The owners are so kind. I love the lawn behind the hotel which has a fire pit and seating for the evenings. I sat and watched 3 beavers feeding in the river as an elk walked by in the background, and then these three majestic elk feeding in the vegetation across the river and the field next to the hotel. I wish I would have time to sit there for days!"
