"We had a wonderful stay, during our visit to ride The Polar Express! The Inn is very conveniently located for this experience, and The Hummingbird Room was perfect for the three of us. The breakfast was delicious, and we had many choices. There are lots of steps for some rooms, so be sure to ask, if this is a concern."

SureStay by Best Western Cherokee on the River ★★

📍 44 Tsalagi Rd, Cherokee

"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 ♥️"

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."

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."

Two Rivers Lodge ★★
"The Two Rivers Motel is half way between Bryson City and Cherokee on old US 19 and sets at the confluence of two rivers, thus the name. Blaine and Cathy are the on site owners keep a quiet, clean and comfortable "mom and pop" motel with no frills. The rooms are comfortable but not richly furnished. But you should get a good nights rest. Behind the motel next to the river is a a picnic area with a fire pit, grills and tables. Around desk you may catch the small herd of elk walking through and their way to a field for the night. In addition there are geese, otter, beavers and other wildlife to enjoy, You will have to go to either Bryson City or Cherokee for meals, both about five miles away. If you don't need frills, just a comfy place to stop for one or several days, I recommend it. I will be a frequent guest hill on my motorcycle travels in the mountains."
