Top Balsam Hotel Reviews

Cherokee Grand Hotel

8/10 Good

"Price was good"

Newfound Lodge on the river

10/10 Excellent

"we only stayed one night being by the river was great, but they need to update the place felt like i stepped back into 1980 It was clean and the beds were comfortable. Outside by river needs to be cleaned up and the walk way near the river was very unstable...."

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Cherokee / Casino by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay for two nights. I was visiting for concert at the casino across the street. It was super convenient and there was quite a few things to see that were walking distance. Clean room and very friendly staff. The breakfast was really good - such a great inclusion for the stay. Free parking in the lot made things easy after a long drive."

Great Smokies Inn Cherokee

10/10 Excellent

"The young lady at the front desk was amazing. Offered to let me park my motorcycle under the front awning so it would be in the shade. This was our first time staying in Cherokee, usually stay around Townsend or Tellico Plains Tennessee but we will 100% be back next time we travel down that way. Nice quiet location away from the main strip, but close enough that we could walk to a few places."

Jonathan Creek Inn

8/10 Good

"A heated greenhouse around the pool does not mean the pool is heated. Definitely some false advertisement there. Other than that the stay was great."

SureStay by Best Western Cherokee on the River

8/10 Good

"Great stay , just charged after prepaid."

Lloyd's On The River Country Inn By OYO

10/10 Excellent

"The view off back por h was beautiful. The room was nice but there were spiderwebs everywhere"

Smoky Falls Lodge

8/10 Good

"Everything was very clean. The only thing that we where not happy with was the room being up stairs. When we let them know that we both have COPD they would have offered us a room down stairs."

Best Western Plus River Escape Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Just got back home from a four night stay. Perfect for our purpose of exploring the area. Great restaurants, nice balcony room overlooking the river. Indoor pool was so nice too and clean. Breakfasts had a good selection. Highly recommend."
