SureStay by Best Western Cherokee on the River

8/10 Good

"The property is being renovated and some areas were affected by the construction. The room was spacious and clean although dated. The breakfast was limited but sufficient. The most memorable part of the stay was the balcony. Beautiful views of the river and surrounding mountains. Plenty of wildlife to observe: geese flying at treetop level and a very curious beaver just below our balcony."

Jonathan Creek Inn

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and spacious. Beds were comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful. Coffee and tea were provided in the mornings from 8-10, it would have been nice to have it longer or throughout the day. I was usually up well before 8 and it would have been nice to sit outside with my coffee. The best feature is the outside decks with a porch swing, glider and chairs for just watching and listening to the creek. We hope to stay there again."

Microtel Inn & Suites By Wyndham Sylva Dillsboro Area

8/10 Good

"I was on the 3rd floor, room 314. Ice machine and vending machine in hallway behind elevator. Great, I take bucket, ice out it order and vending machine empty. I had a handicapped room although I'm not handicapped. I had a large shower, you could roll a wheel chair in to it. Floor would get all wet. I love soaking in a tub. Room smelled musty and the carpet always felt damp. I wore sandals walking from bed to bathroom."
