Top Smokey Mountain Gold & Ruby Mine Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Cherokee / Casino by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean hotel. The free breakfast is amazing. Right across the street by the Casino. Great location"

Great Smokies Inn Cherokee

10/10 Excellent

"We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The check-in process was easy and Zelda was very helpful and recommended local restaurants and sites to see while we were there. The room was very clean and well maintained as well as the rest of the property. This was an exceptional value for us and we will definitely stay there again when in the area."

Newfound Lodge on the river

8/10 Good

"I have long wanted to stay at this property which has new managers and is under renovation. The room was decorated nicely but the bathroom is pretty small in an age when most people are pretty large. The tub in Room 118 dripped water the whole time. The water pressure for the shower was pretty low. The property did not meet my request of an upstairs room so I heard a fair amount of road noise. The room did not have a television at first but someone brought and installed one about an hour after check in. I would stay here again but it seems like a small family is trying to run a large hotel. The office was not always staffed."

Stonebrook Lodge Cherokee

"Location was good."

Cherokee Grand Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay. It was such a great value and one of the cleanest hotels I’ve ever stayed in, including some much more expensive, "fancier" hotels. Your staff is top-notch and provided excellent customer service throughout our visit. The hotel could benefit from some updates, but considering the value, cleanliness, and exceptional service, I would definitely stay here again. Thank you all so much, and great job to the entire team! The hotel is within walking distance of the casino and offers complimentary pastries and coffee, which were a nice added bonus. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and truly appreciated the hospitality."

Quality Inn Cherokee Riverside

10/10 Excellent

"Top notch property. Very clean and well maintained. Quite and comfortable. Would stay there again."
