The facility is convenient to major Cherokee activities. Clean room, common areas and breakfast dining. Very attentive and helpful staff. From this base we were able to visit Bryson Cilty, Maggie Valley and Oconuluftee Welcome Center. Will definitely stay again in future trips.

The room was okay. It is a 2-3 star property. The breakfast bar was limited - the waffle was the best part. Everything was working in the room and the staff was very friendly. It is on a main highway and close to fast food. It was fine for a quick overnight stay.

First night beds were uncomfortable very lumpy matress. Second night different room beds were better. The air conditioner needs to have a air deflector put on it so the air does not blow directly on you. Food was good except for gravy for biscuits and gravy. Need potatoes once in a while.
