Qualla Cabins and Motel Cherokee near Casino

8/10 Good
"Folks were great. The place has become “dated”, but I personally prefer the quiet and lack of bustle. I’m sure the hotel was the place to go back in its heyday. I do wish that the kitchen (I was in a cabin) was better stocked. There wasn’t much to work with. No dish towels, and I didn’t want to ruin one of the bathroom ones. Also, no dish soap or way to wash dishes. I chose the place specifically so I could have a kitchen, and not to be stuck in some ultra-modern hotel. I’m not big on eating out, I’m on the road all the time and kind of over all the fast food and such. It was really nice that the grocery store was just on the other side of the street too. Other guests were very polite and there wasn’t a bunch of noise. The hostess was extremely friendly. I had a good time sitting on the porch and listening to the creek and kicking myself for not having brought my trusty “trout stick”. Next time I’m in town, I hope to be able to stay there again. I’ll have to remember to bring my own cooking/cleaning stuff is all."
