The accessibility to the Cherokee area was excellent. Room and facility was clean. Loved the shower. Plenty of hot water. Water pressure was excellent. I did find the hotel was skimpy on towels but we did have fresh ones everyday.

Our family of four only stayed the one night. Check-in was seamless and the front desk staff were very helpful. The woman at the front desk was helpful for my husband and I in needing to find some place quick to eat. We took the five to seven minute walk across the street to the casino and were able to get something to eat at one of the restaurants. The room was clean and quiet and served our purposes perfectly. Breakfast in the morning was good. The attendant that was on staff walked around to check that everything was okay and asked us if there was anything else she could get for us. I would definitely recommend staying here and if we happen to be in Cherokee again this will be a go-to for us to stay.
