    Such a beautiful building and great people! The location is excellent with parking on-site so you…read morecan walk right into downtown Bryson City! We came in after a day at Dollywood and the clean room, hot large shower and AC was a perfect end to the day. I also had such a delicious vanilla latte at breakfast, I might just have to book a night for another one!

We would have loved to have stayed longer but we considered ourselves lucky to get a room at all during the peak Fall season. We stayed in Room 9 which is on the third floor loft with an interesting pitched ceiling but no windows. The room was great for afternoon napping and it was just footsteps away from the rooftop deck. For a longer stay we would have probably preferred a room on the second floor with windows. I love American history, architecture and Americana so staying in this old circa 1904 bank was fabulous. We even took a peak at the old bank vault that is now used as a wine cellar and pantry inside the restaurant. The hotel staff here is top notch. Everyone was so welcoming and I appreciate that the hotel called before our stay to see if we wanted to make a reservation in The Bistro. The Bistro is a small, quaint, refined restaurant that books full for its dinner service so it's nice that they make sure hotel guests have an opportunity to book first. Our dinner in the Bistro was fabulous - I had the filet while my husband had the Ettouffee. We also had breakfast at The Bistro the following morning which was also very good. In addition to the five-star staff and cozy room, we loved the location of The Everett Hotel. It was walking distance to everything in town including shops, restaurants and the train station. It was also a short drive to Smoky Mountain National Park. As an added bonus, it is right next door to the Swain County Heritage Museum. We were conveniently able to park behind the hotel. Other conveniences we appreciated were the filtered water and coffee in the hallway. A special shoutout to Daniel who made us feel so welcomed.

    A few weeks ago we stayed at Hemlock Inn for the first time and it was a lovely stay! The views are…read moreincredible and this bed & breakfast took us back to a simpler time where you can be present with your loved ones. Cozy up next to the fireplace, dive into a good book on a rocking chair, grab a board game to play with your spouse or kids, or just take a little nap while you listen to the rain showers. I highly recommend a stay here if you'd like a weekend retreat in the mountains of Western North Carolina and quality time with family and friends. Hemlock Inn is conveniently located a short drive from downtown Bryson City and the Cherokee side of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Hemlock Inn is a nice little place in the woods with quaint rooms, limited technology, and good Southern food. I loved that they rang a dinner bell and had a blessing before each meal, served family style. We traveled with our 1 year old and I was glad I packed some of his favorite foods from home to bring with us (we as moms know our little ones can be picky). Hemlock Inn will gladly provide you with ice to keep items cold and some rooms even have a small refrigerator. The staff here at Hemlock Inn are so attentive and welcoming. Mort and the entire team truly embody Christian hospitality which is a breath of fresh air. We enjoyed everything about our stay at Hemlock Inn and will return!

    Great family! Mort and the staff were very friendly and funny! It is a family friendly Inn…read more Breakfast and dinner was so good and delicious. One of the best parts - Mort picks children to ring the "bell" to call everyone to meals. The kids love it! This was our first time and we will definitely be back! We stayed at the Inn November 11-15, 2022. Thank you Mort & staff for making us feel so welcome!

    Last time we were here in Cherokee, my husband and I vowed to stay at this hotel-casino next…read moretime... So our latest excursion to Cherokee (mainly to resupply our stock of THC lol), we stayed overnight at the hotel. First of all, the positives! The hotel-casino is quite unique in many ways. It's definitely NOT The Venetian or the Mandalay...with its Vegas-style loft and splendor. It's a MUCH more subdued, modest version of a hotel casino...much smaller. In fact, you can walk from one of the hotel-casino within 15 minutes. Still large...but not Vegas Large. The hotel is also very senior-friendly...with its lush carpeting throughout. Walking on these carpets make you feel as if you're roller skating. Very easy on the joints...so for someone like my husband, with knee issues, and me with my sporadic ankle issues (a long life in heels!), this had to be a lush walk in the park! The hotel also has a rustic style...almost a ranch housing style...complete with a rustic creek right outside. It really matched the Cherokee vibe. Despite the size, the hotel-casino houses plenty of eats and drinks, including a Gordon Ramsey food court...an upscaled food court with chef-inspired street foods. The foods were pretty good (for a food court especially!), but my repeat complaint is that the place is understaffed...and possibly under-managed. Also, the online-screen ordering system is NOT senior-friendly. They also have nicer restaurants on site, like the Guy Fieri's Kitchen + Bar, Ruth Cris, Soco Smokehouse, Amici's, etc.etc. Now the disappointing parts. Again, the entire hotel-casino seems understaffed. Even during busy check-in hours, there were only 2 reps working the hotel reception desks! We stayed in the Mountain Tower, the newer buidling...so newer rooms! As expected, the room was quite nice upon entering. Seemed very new...and clean. However, as you look closer, you'll see and feel all the cracks. The room and bathroom amenities were quite weak (not even water bottles offered in the rooms, for one)...yet you pay nearly 40 bucks a night on resort fees! The bath amenities were also cheap! As new as the room was, the the toilet lever and the tissue holder was already looking like it was cracking. The mattresses on the bed were super soft and super cheap...and ridiculously creaky! Possibly the creakiest mattress I've experienced in decades!!! The A/C was also very weak (felt 72 at 67 degrees)...and you can hear this fairly loud noise (almost like a mini helicopter flying over your bed?) the whole time! You can just tell that the hotel management did a ton of cost cutting within these rooms...even the newer additions! On top of these substandard room amenities, the worst part?!? Their check-in time is 4 pm! I know more and more hotels are going toward later check-in times, but I feel this is a huge scam. Guests are expected to pay more for less hours in a room...one that isn't even being cleaned on a daily basis (but every few days). Not sure how often they cleaned these rooms, however, since we only stayed 1 night. Overall, we still managed to enjoy the stay...walking around the plush carpeted hotel, doing some minor league gambling (slot machines), and eating-drinking in (without having to drive out of the hotel). However, be warned...this is NOT the Vegas quality you might come to expect from hotel-casinos.

    Had a great visit to Harrah's Cherokee Casino while staying nearby at Days Inn. The casino is neat,…read morespacious, and well organized, which made it easy to move around and enjoy the experience. The service desk was very helpful, and as a newcomer, I received a $25 table coupon, which was a nice bonus. The food court had several fast food options--quick, convenient, and satisfying between games. Roulette is my go-to, and luckily, I had a good run and even won some money, which definitely made the trip more fun. Overall, it's a solid casino experience with good service and a comfortable atmosphere. It may not have the scale or energy of Las Vegas, but it's still a great spot for a fun getaway.

Anyone could push the door and be able to come into my room! The tv also did not work and I tried every button to try to make it turn on and it simply wouldn't. An additional way this place could improve is the lack of breakfast options. No protein options. This made me feel as though I HAD to go to another establishment to get a full breakfast. Will not be returning.

I will not stay here again. If you're an early riser, it should work for you. I booked this place because it's one mile from a gym and about 18 minutes to Harrah's for WSOP in Cherokee. I had no idea what to expect. This joint is clean and comfortable, which is all I need. It's also a great price and I love the concept. I don't mind tiny rooms, but you might. When I walked into the room for the first time, I felt like a Smurf and thought I had been transported to another world. I imagined Smurfette knocking on the door, me answering it, and Smurfette asking if she thought I was pretty. I said, "Yes, but I don't think you should come in." She fumed, moved a few steps into my room, then started smacking and kicking me while yelling, "You don't think I'm pretty?! You don't think I'm pretty?!!!" Papa Smurf walked down the hall due to the commotion and asked why Smurfette was in my room. I tried to explain, but he just put his hands on his hips and looked disappointed in me. That didn't really happen, and in real life, Smurfs live in mushrooms, but I did imagine it. Another way to say it: these rooms are really small. But that's the point. It's why you pay less. Recommended. If anything changes throughout trip (good or bad), I'll update this review.
