“Going downhill”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2011

Stayed at this motel for many years and have watched it go downhill every year. We like to stay here cause it's right across from casino. Lots of noise from the street. Carpet is nasty and torn. They pieced it together at the bathroom door and did a poor job with that. Sink and tub drains were very slow. Beds have been there forever. Not much available for breakfast and coffee was not good. Outside doors do not fit well. Just needs lots of updating. They must be waiting on Harrah's to buy the lot/property...that's the rumor anyway. Only stay if you want to be close to casino and it's just one night!

Room Tip: First floor or you walk up stairs carrying luggage to second floor

“CONVENIENCE IS KEY”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 April 2011

people found this review helpful

me and my girlfriend came to cherokee NC for the weekend for a concert at Harrah's Cherokee Hotel & Casino.. we stayed here at the days inn.. well, its right across the street from the casino. didn't have to fool with parking or worry about getting a DUI if we left the casino a little tipsy. lol . the hotel was pleasant. we got a smokers room... can't believe they still exist.. got a room with a king size bed. cost us about 100 dollars.. we probably could've found somewhere a lil bit cheaper in town.. but again, convenience is key here. the casino was rock throwing distance from the room, and a gas station next door from us . the room was cozy and quiet. had showtime on tv. free WI-FI. there is a pool, but no water cause it's not in season yet. my only gripe is that the pillows were quite firm and hard. i woke the next morning with a crick in my neck. . but other than that, the stay was fine. highly recommended, expecially if you are there to visit the casino.

“Found bugs”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 June 2010

I stayed at this motel due to the fact that my traveling companions both smoked and I cannot handle cigarette smoke. I could open the windows in this motel. I noticed the housekeeping service did not remove some food between the bed and nightstand. Lo and behold, there was also a bug. I called the office and reported the problem. They never rectified the situation in the 3 days I was there.

I am not sure I will stay at this motel again. If I do, I will inspect the room before placing my luggage in it and having it recleaned if necessary.

I will say, the staff members were very nice. Although I paid my way through college with tips as a waitress and usually tip quite well, since the housekeeping staff did not clean the room properly, they did not receive but one day's tip.

If you stay there, please inspect the room prior to becoming comfortable.
