8/10 Good
"It was a quick two night stay in a basic motel. We weren’t there to stay in the room other than to sleep, so we just needed a clean, safe place. It’s very convenient to Cherokee attractions and to Sylva. We were there to see Grand Funk and to visit the authentic Native spots. It was fairly quiet and it was clean. It’s a basic, no frills motel. There is a pool if you want to swim."

"Perfect location in Maggie Valley. The motel was dated but the rooms had been refurbished. Had everything we needed for our one night stay. The lobby area was dark and needed air conditioning. Definitely needs an uplift. Has a restaurant and bar on the property right on the creek. Did not eat there but the margaritas were superb."

8/10 Good
"We have stayed here several times in the last three years. The staff are always very friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean, but this past time, there was food left in the fridge and drink rings on the countertops. Nothing to freak out about, but just not as good as it has been in the past. Also, if you are not a pet person, I don't recommend staying on the first floor. That is where they usually put their guests with animals and the rooms smell like pets. The free breakfast is modest, but good. Overall, our stays have been very nice."

"This hotel is 100 years-old. It is a comfortable, quaint, calm place to stay. The employees were fantastic at helping us. Parts of the hotel have an old-world elegance. But you have to be prepared for a room that is very basic and not what you would find in a modern corporate facility. Loved the calm atmosphere, would be happy to stay there again."

"Cabin was in a great central location for Maggie Valley, Waynesville, and hiking. The cabin was perfect; just like the pictures. It was well-stocked, the beds were very comfortable, and everything was very clean. We enjoyed sitting out on the front porch listening to the creek below. Since it was summer we didn’t use the fireplace or fire pit, but I would love to go back to do so. Great deal for the price as well."
