Top Cherokee Mountainside Theatre Hotel Reviews

Bay Mountain Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice"

Quality Inn Cherokee Riverside

10/10 Excellent

"We were very pleased with everything 😁!!!"

Clarion Pointe Cherokee

10/10 Excellent

"My sons and I had had a great stay, minus being in a room right next to a door and vending/ice machine, which is no one’s fault. It was clean, staff was nice and efficient and it was in a great location for us."

Stonebrook Lodge Cherokee

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and convenient. Able to walk to casino!"

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cherokee

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and the bed was comfortable and towels were very soft. The breakfast was fine—nothing over the top, but it was fine. We only had 3 pillows for our bed and I asked for one more, but they didn’t have anymore. So you may want to bring your own if you like to sleep with more than one pillow. They also couldn’t give us any extra towels until they got out of the dryer, so I had to wait an hour to take a shower, as all of ours we still wet from the day before."

Newfound Lodge on the river
