Top Hiwassee River Hotel Reviews

Lake Chatuge Lodge

8/10 Good

"It's a very nice place just somewhat outdated. There are some areas that need maintenance (balconies and electrical outlets, most notably) and used linens were piled in the hallway of our floor overnight."

Murphy Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean. They got 100% on Sanitation Certification. The mattress had a bed bug protective encasement. I checked anyway. No bugs anywhere inside or out. They have a coffee maker w/supplies to make two cups of coffee. There was a microwave and refrigerator in our room. The bed was very comfortable. Not too firm but not too soft. Very pleasant owners. Easy to check in and easy to check out. It is on Scenic Hwy 64 and we went during high season so motorcycles some trucks but after 11 pm it was country quiet. Close to convenience stores and several restaurants w/o having to go into Murphy. About 11 min drive to Murphy NC which has shops, bars some with live music, restaurants. It was a good stay for me and my husband. The price per night is very reasonable. Felt safe and even got to talk to our “neighbors” all were super nice."

Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Hotel & Casino – A Caesars Rewards Destination

8/10 Good

"All the staff members were friendly and helpful. Our room was clean. Linens were very clean including towels. However, the pillows were terribly uncomfortable. They were super hard and lumpy. The bathroom tiles on the walls need more attention to remove the mildew. Other than that, you can have a quiet night’s sleep."

Days Inn by Wyndham Murphy

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay."

Cobb Creek Cabins

10/10 Excellent

"One of the nicest places we’ve stayed over the years in that area. Very welcoming, peaceful, clean… everything was great. Would definitely stay there again."

Best Western Of Murphy

8/10 Good

"Room was clean, staff were not rude but were not overly friendly. Was very quiet and close to what I was staying there food. Food choice was limited to limited fast food. Bed was very comfy on one side and sunk in one spot on the other … overall would stay here again!"
