I was overall satisfied with this property. The areas that needed attention looked like they were in the process of being renovated. The free breakfast exceeded my expectations. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful. Two big complaints were they gave someone a room key to my room without verifying with me that it was ok. They took the person at their word that they were my father, which he was. But they should have called and verified that it was okay. The second complaint was the designated smoking area was right out the front door where everyone loads and unloads their vehicles. You and your stuff is being permeated with cigarette smoke.

Convenient hotel This used to be a Hampton Inn but they lost their licence so now it is a Cherokee Inn. TV did NOT work for both nights. Smoke detector was removed and laying on the dresser, smelled like mold. Team members not engaging. Wow what a big difference from what it used to be. Now it is a Choice hotel and not good at all. Very Poor

Everyone is very nice and the property is clean. Currently being renovated. The only downside was the bed, it was only 3 pillows on a king bed... found 1 more in the closet but they mashed down to nothing

The property is in the middle of major upgrading - changing from one brand to another; still, the interior was clean, well appointed and inviting. The staff was welcoming and well trained. The outside needs signs to indicate it is open, because it looks like it is closed.

The staff was very kind. In the morning from overnight stay, wake up to damp clothes. Pillows are not the best.

My husband and I loved our weekend stay. Room was clean and smelled fine. Will stay again the next time we come to the area. Breakfast was waffles (regular or blueberry), yogurt, cereal (you need to ask for milk), oatmeal, biscuits and muffins.
