Top Museum of the Cherokee Indian Hotel Reviews

Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort - A Caesars Rewards Destination

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel, room and casino were very clean and well maintained. The food (restaurant Amici Italia) was delicious. The valet was not so great. After standing outside for awhile with my ticket clearly visible to valet employees, I had to stop a concerier"

Qualla Cabins and Motel Cherokee near Casino

8/10 Good

"If you stay in one of the cabins stay in cabins 1 though 7 or 8 to avoid the car wash disco light show on the other side of the river. The car wash turns the lights on around 6pm and turns them off at 6am. It's like having a police car parked outside your window with the lights flashing all night. Thankfully were able to move cabins after the first night. Also consider booking through the motel itself to pick the right cabin."
