Staff was friendly, garbage near room not emptied in some time, pool closed. All stores surrounding were mostly all closed. No longer has a restaurant on site, limited food choices nearby. Location is out of the way. Might of been the time of year??

This was a great place to stay for a weekend trip as we went to the Cherokee casino for a concert and gaming/sportsbook. Rooms were clean and beds were comfy ... walls are thin so be prepared to hear your neighbor's conversations, but not a big deal to us. We were lucky to see a fireworks show Saturday night as there was a small fair across the street, which was great. Some shopping and restaurants are across the street, and it's very close to nice parks and other shopping as well. We will stay here again.
