Decent hotel fairly close to Cherokee. The reason we booked this hotel is for the indoor pool and hot tub and the hot tub was broken this time or down. At breakfast, the pancake maker was broken as well. Other than that, it was exactly what you would expect from a Holiday Inn.

Great place to stay

Everything was great, very clean, very comfortable. It seemed like there was only one person that was taking care of the reception desk and the breakfast counter. She was working hard running around getting everyone everything they needed.
