It was our 2nd stay at Econo Lodge. It didn't disappoint. It's clean, comfy and safe. The location is close to everything we wanted and the staff are always friendly. It isn't fancy, but weren't looking for luxury.

Property was Ok. Liked the location. We had a second story room which was fine but we were given a room that was farthest away from any stairs and the place was virtually empty.

Ok place. Quick visit type stay. Nothing glamorous. Overpriced for weekend but somewhat anticipated with the casino just 5 minute drive away. But love Cherokee the town and area. Beautiful place!

This location is very centrally located and close to our family that we were visiting. The hotel is very clean, the bed was very comfortable and the front desk lady very friendly. I would highly recommend this hotel to others. We plan to return soon.

The only real complaint would be the slight musty smell when we entered the room.
Bed was very comfortable. The rooms were mostly occupied, but all was quiet. Could use more handicap parking.
We will stay again.

Place was fine except for the room was especially humid, and there was no vent fan in the bathroom to help after showers so that just made it worse. Convenience to the casino and okay breakfast is the good.
