Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort - A Caesars Rewards Destination

Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort - A Caesars Rewards Destination

8/10 Good
"The best rate I could get for our stay was in a king bed smoking room. Neither of us smoke. There was a somewhat noticeable odor of second hand smoke, but not terrible. I wish the mattress was more firm because I deal with sciatica and arthritis in both hips. Other than that, our room and bathroom was very clean."
