Top Smokey Mountain Gold & Ruby Mine Hotel Reviews

Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort - A Caesars Rewards Destination

8/10 Good

"Easy check in and free parking for guests. Friendly staff. Rooms a bit dated. Bathroom had a jetted tub that had an outter panel falling off. Also some mildew on wall paper in toilet closet. Overall it was fine, especially for the price."

Newfound Lodge on the river

8/10 Good

"My husband and I stayed one night at this hotel. It was just okay as it is a terribly old hotel that has not been maintained. Wallpaper was stapled back up and all doors were scratched up so horribly that one would think a horrible fight or something happened. The beds themselves actually felt and looked vbery clean but everything else was just kinda "icky". It was fine for one night but I defintiely wouldn't want to stay longer. Exterior of building is very messy, dirty, unkept as well which made going to/from car a bit uneasy with their very low lighting. Did not use balcony."
