“Thin walls, bad air cond.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

This hotel is very old and in desperate need of repair. We were forced to spend one night here while waiting for our cabin’s septic tank to be emptied. This motel does not offer a microwave, only a coffee pot and a tiny ice box. There is not a pool or creek, only a parking lot leading to the busy street. The walls are paper thin; we could actually hear our neighbors snore and the traffic from the street! The air cond was almost nonexistent! We sweated the entire night and we had the air on high! It was not the cleanest place, but nor was it filthy. The tub was shiny and the sheets clean.
The only postive thing I can say about this place is that it is located in walking distance to gift shops.

We went to Cherokee to enjoy the motorcycle riding in the area and decided to stay at the Pageant Inn and it was a great time..

Rooms very clean and owners very accommodating..Motorcycle friendly..

With the magic roads and Casino along with Breakfast just down the road at local place it was a good experience..

Thank you for such a good time..

“you get what you pay for... but we were low on $$$”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

person found this review helpful

This place is cute on the outside and dumpy inside. They really really need new carpet, lenolium, new paint... the works. However we really wanted to go the the Smokys and couldn't afford to pay upwards of $200 + for other places ( it was high season). So we knew this place would be shady but were willing to use it anyway. If you are prepared for it, this place is a great way to save some dough. Bring your own towels and slippers so you don't have to walk on the icky floor. We had a fridge which was really nice. Hot water for showers in the morning is unlikely.

“Terrible experience”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2011

This is truly a run down, old building. Terribly overpriced for this old place. Of all the places, I've stayed, in practically every state-this was the worst. The pictures must be at least 10 years old. The prices I found on the website were wrong. The tub was stopped up, the lighting was dim, plug ins scarce. Duct tape holding the front of the AC on. We bought a roll of duct tape to cover the cracks in the door and believe me, if we could have found anything else available, we would have left.

Room Tip: Don't stay here!

“Second Time I've stayed still convenient and good value.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 September 2011

people found this review helpful

Just checked out on the 29th of Sept..........The owner and managers are very accommodating. Stayed there for 3 nights last year and this year stayed for 6, very convenient to restaurants and the river. I live in Florida and had family and friends drive up from SC to meet for fishing and dinner, it's easy to find and I'm looking forward to my next visit.

Room Tip: Don't expect the Taj Mahal, it's a Motel a place to Shower and Sleep...Get out of your room...
