Top Downtown Cherokee Hotel Reviews

Brookside Lodge

8/10 Good

"wifi was in and out but Leann in the office was more than helpful she is a true asset for the lodge washer and dryer worked great breakfast was pretty good and the brook was very relaxing will defiantly book a room again"

Bear Creek Inn

8/10 Good

"There was a little bit of trash around the creek, but other than that, it was absolutely beautiful outside the balcony. I had gotten used to not taking phone charger plug-ins with me because all hotels had USB ports this hotel does not. Other than that, I will stay there again very happy with the hotel and the staff."

Sidney James Mountain Lodge

8/10 Good

"Decent place to lay your head for a night or 2. Nice pools, both indoor and out. Indoor pool could have been a little warmer. Little restaurant on site served a decent breakfast. Hotel sits right on the river, so it was a decent view. Balconies are really small...no room to sit, but there is a patio beside the hotel that where you can relax by the river. All in all, it was comfortable. It served it's purpose."

Timber Ridge Lodge - Walking Distance from Downtown Gatlinburg

8/10 Good

"For the price, it was an excellent accommodation! Only issue was consistent Hot water for multiple showers. Bathroom faucet was loosely connected to the sink but worked just fine. Host was very nice and hard working. She was running the front desk as well as cleaning rooms. Room was large and nicely decorated, too."
