SureStay by Best Western Cherokee on the River

8/10 Good

"Location was good."

Cherokee Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay. It was such a great value and one of the cleanest hotels I’ve ever stayed in, including some much more expensive, "fancier" hotels. Your staff is top-notch and provided excellent customer service throughout our visit. The hotel could benefit from some updates, but considering the value, cleanliness, and exceptional service, I would definitely stay here again. Thank you all so much, and great job to the entire team! The hotel is within walking distance of the casino and offers complimentary pastries and coffee, which were a nice added bonus. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and truly appreciated the hospitality."

Clarion Pointe Sylva near Cherokee Area

8/10 Good

"We checked in late at night after a local football game. Front desk staff was friendly and professional. While waiting in line the first thing I noticed was the elevator out of order sign. He gave us the key and explained it was out of order, but that hits hard when you are already tired and have to climb stairs . Stuff happens, hope they get it fixed soon. Room was extremely clean, no smells. Bed may have been on it’s last life as I woke up in a center a crater a few times, but was still comfortable overall. I can’t speak on breakfast as we didn’t get up and moving in time. We will be visiting the area often and will gladly stay here again."

Best Western Plus River Escape Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The room was super clean and cozy. The pool and hot tub were clean and relaxing. The breakfast was so good and everything was always available. Ms. Debra always came to check to make sure we didn’t need anything. Highly recommended this property!"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Sylva - Western Carolina Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place to stay!!"

Jonathan Creek Inn

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and spacious. Beds were comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful. Coffee and tea were provided in the mornings from 8-10, it would have been nice to have it longer or throughout the day. I was usually up well before 8 and it would have been nice to sit outside with my coffee. The best feature is the outside decks with a porch swing, glider and chairs for just watching and listening to the creek. We hope to stay there again."
