I use to stay at the Econo lodge with my Military hiusband when he was alive. So when my neice and I went to Cherokee and the casino I decided to show her all the things and the Econo lodge we always tried to stay at. We had a wonderful time and of course the lodge was a bonus she loved it. In fact the nights we were at the lodge were the most quiet and peaceful we had , had in a long time.
Nothing to dislike, the Econo Lodge was exceptinal. The people went out of their way to make us feel like we were more family than just people staying there. We loved our stay.

The staff was amazing! Lady at the front desk went above and beyond to help with any questions! Room was very clean, smelled clean when entering, comfortable bed, clean shower, cold air, just over all a great stay! We even decided to stay another night we enjoyed it so much! Will definitely choose to stay here next time!! Again, lady at the front desk! Amazing!
There was nothing I didn't like. Everything during our stay was great!

This is a great location especially if you want a short walk to downtown Cherokee, a short ride to the casino or to be centrally located to some amazing sights of the valley. The hotel was clean, the beds were comfortable and well cared for. the cleaning staff did a great job every day.
Honestly this is a solid choice especially for the price range so I'm good! I'll be back!

The property was very clean inside and outside. Very nice workers and hard working they deserve a raise. Maintenance guy was hustling his ass off. Give them a raise please or bonus. Beds was very uncomfortable. I thought I was sleeping on the floor. Other than that everything was perfect. Iron and coffee maker would be helpful so individuals can make their own coffee.
I didn’t like the bed. It was very uncomfortable.

We LOVE Cherokee! We come every year! First time at this hotel but it will definitely Not be the last! we'll be back again!!
the only thing that was 'WRONG' the pillows could have been a little firmer.

The location was great and it was beautifully decorated hotel overall. Our rooms were spacious enough and everything was clean. Breakfast was good and the overall stay was good. The staff member we encountered was a young girl and she seemed to very nice and was working hard, especially during breakfast with a big crowd as well as front desk duties.
The one thing we didn’t like, which wasn’t necessarily the hotel’s issue, is that we stayed next to a family with children who were outside their room next to us pretty late into the night and they were very loud and kept opening and closing their door. Hotel wise, the bed could’ve been a little softer for my personal preference. The breakfast area didn’t have drink options at the time we were there besides coffee. Something must have been going on with that because the employee said someone was bringing it.

The breakfast was good but they didn’t have containers to keep eggs, bacon/sausage and biscuits warm so those weren’t part of the breakfast but it was still good with sausage biscuits you could microwave and many other things you could warm up in microwave or toaster. My favorite was the French toast with syrup. You had a lot of different options to choose from.

Location was exceptional. Staff lovely. Parking right in front of room was a must with my knee replacement. I drove from Orlando, Fl and mesmerized on the mountain roads. Originally from rural Va and felt right at home. Spent last night there sitting by the river watching the sunset. I'll never forget my stay in Cherokee ❤️

Traveling as a party of 5 it is difficult to find a room we can all stay together. This place has 2 rooms with 3 beds. Not 2 beds and a sofa bed but 3 double beds. It was perfect. Firm beds, clean room, breakfast didn’t have hot eggs sausage or biscuits and gravy like we like, but there was breakfast. Right in the middle of the shopping and local attractions too.
Prefer more hot breakfast, but the fact we had a room we could all stay in made up for it.
