    It was just a fine choice for a weekend respite in Cherokee with decent value for money. The staff were very accommodating, even replacing our stained sheets promptly. If you’re traveling with kids, keep a close eye on them in the lobby area to avoid any misunderstandings.

    Charming Stay with Local Flavor!

    Our family enjoyed a cozy getaway here! The friendly staff recommended delicious dining spots, and we loved breakfast at Mabel’s Kitchen—best sandwiches ever! Clean, comfortable room right near attractions. Pro tip, bring extra blankets for chilly nights. Would absolutely return to explore more!

    Perfect for nature lovers

    The view from the room was fine-misty mountains surrounding us every morning! Plus, the staff went above and beyond, offering us late check-out which really helped when we were running late after a night out.

    It wasn't exactly cheap, though you get what you pay for in this area.

    charming decor

    cute atmosphere
    unpleasant odor

    The room features charming woodwork and stone architecture, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. An easy access layout makes navigating the hotel smooth for those with mobility needs.

    The comfort level of the beds can vary dramatically between rooms. Some feel like you're sleeping on a rock. There are reports of unpleasant odors in certain rooms that seem to linger, especially upon arrival. The Wi-Fi is surprisingly slow, reminiscent of dial-up speeds, which can be frustrating if you're relying on it for work or updates. The placement of certain rooms is far from the main areas.

    I had a wonderful stay at Great Smokies Inn. The staff treated us like family, ensuring our comfort at all times. I loved the charming decor that represents the Smoky Mountains. My only minor concern was the lack of breakfast options, but it didn't ruin our time. Perfect location for exploring!

    limited breakfast

    Check-in was super quick, no waiting at all. The room felt clean and cozy with comfortable beds. I really liked the decor. it had a nice touch of charm. The location is perfect, easy access to nearby attractions and dining options. Staff members were friendly and helpful every time I interacted with them. Had some issues with the WiFi initially, though. It didn't work in my room, and it took a while for the staff to acknowledge and troubleshoot the problem. I ended up having to go to the lobby to connect. Would’ve liked a simple breakfast option. the nearest decent breakfast spot is a mile away.

    great location
    friendly staff
    clean lodging
    no elevator access

    We had an excellent group trip! Each day was packed with fun, visiting Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Casino and exploring the stunning nearby mountains and lakes. The Inn was just a short drive to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, where we enjoyed ranger-guided activities and hikes. The staff was super friendly, and everything was clean and tidy!

    One thing to note is that while the stairs were manageable, if you're on the second floor, it could be a bit challenging for some. But overall, it didn’t impact our stay much.
