SureStay by Best Western Cherokee on the River

8/10 Good

"The property is being renovated and some areas were affected by the construction. The room was spacious and clean although dated. The breakfast was limited but sufficient. The most memorable part of the stay was the balcony. Beautiful views of the river and surrounding mountains. Plenty of wildlife to observe: geese flying at treetop level and a very curious beaver just below our balcony."
