Our queen bed room was tiny and in dire need of repairs. Paint was chipped or peeling in multiple places on all the walls. There was a hole in one wall that appears to have been for a thermostat that was removed (but bare wires still exposed inside) but the hole was never repaired -- now temp is just adjusted by old A/C unit under the window. A light switch plate is broken and sharp on the broken edge. The tub filled up while taking a shower and took about an hour to drain -- this made it obvious that the tub has NOT been cleaned well recently or the cleaning crew would have noticed that. There were also no cups in the room other than 2 paper cups intended for the coffee maker. We thought we'd look for water cups downstairs in the lobby area, but even there they only had the coffee cups to use. Is it so hard to get water cups? The breakfast looked pitiful. After seeing it we decided to go out for breakfast. On the bright side, the check-in person was friendly (but no where to be found when we wanted to checkout so used the Wyndam app instead), the lobby area seemed clean, and the stairways were nicely carpeted (single elevator is very slow). The room was less than $80, but at this one you get what you pay for. But then again, I don't think I'd pay even that to stay at this one again.

When I first pulled into the parking lot I thought oh Lordy what did I get myself into as a military family we are always eager to save a few bucks when we can. I shook it off and entered the office where a very pleasant young man greeted me with a huge smile! He checked me into my room and told me if we needed anything to let him know… we walked into our room (110) and honestly it was extremely clean and well tended too. We even had extra towels and toilet paper! The country themed bedding was super adorable! Was it the Hilton nope, was it out dated yes. However, was it the closest thing to feeling like you’re at your families house away from home and not in an actual hotel room oh yeah! The back porch with rocking chairs overlooking picnic tables, grills, and the river was the serene icing on the cake! The price was acceptable and affordable, the service was above and beyond, and the location was wonderfully peaceful without the hustle and bustle of city life surrounding you. I will definitely be staying here again, hopefully their pool will be open and it will be a bit warmer lol. Long story short: this place is not brand new by any means but these old bones are still fully functional and safe for anyone who enjoys the simpler things in life.

Only if you are desperate for a room! We needed to stay near Bryson and couldn't get a room for a one night stay which was on a Friday. Paid $150.00 for a dumpy room. Only because we were desperate. Never again! If I get that desperate I will sleep in car. Never stayed at a Rodeway...never will again. From the outside...not a bad looking property. Inside...bedding was old and stained as well as the sheets. Bathroom was dirty and no soaps, 2 bathtowels and 1 washcloth. Asked for a wake up call because alarm clock in room didn't work and never got one. Luckily I set cellphone alarm. No elevator..we were placed on 2nd floor. Supply and demand...we needed a room and should be grateful we got one. In all honesty....never again. (This was a last minute need or I wouldn't of been in that predicament). I am honest with my review to help other people.

We stayed in Cherokee to enjoy the Great Smokey Mountains National Park before heading to Gatlinburg. This is an excellent stop for close proximity to Cherokee. Food and shopping options are close by, along with easy access to the park and nature attractions. The hotel does not have many amenities itself, but the rooms are very comfortable and the hotel is practical. The breakfast had a lot of good options. We would definitely stay at this hotel again for a visit in the Cherokee area.
