Top Cherokee Welcome Center Hotel Reviews

Stonebrook Lodge Cherokee

10/10 Excellent

"Great room."

Cherokee Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, simple, helpful staff, everything as advertised. That’s what I want. That’s what I got."

Fairfield Inn Suites by Marriott Cherokee

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient to the casino. Breakfast was great"

Qualla Cabins and Motel Cherokee near Casino

8/10 Good

"If you stay in one of the cabins stay in cabins 1 though 7 or 8 to avoid the car wash disco light show on the other side of the river. The car wash turns the lights on around 6pm and turns them off at 6am. It's like having a police car parked outside your window with the lights flashing all night. Thankfully were able to move cabins after the first night. Also consider booking through the motel itself to pick the right cabin."

Newfound Lodge on the river

8/10 Good

"The room was clean. The carpet was new. The view of the river was excellent. Had a few issues but the staff quickly corrected them. We plan to stay here in the future"
