Top Smokey Mountain Gold & Ruby Mine Hotel Reviews

Harrah's Cherokee Casino Resort - A Caesars Rewards Destination

10/10 Excellent

"Great, beautiful, relaxation place to stay"

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cherokee

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and the bed was comfortable and towels were very soft. The breakfast was fine—nothing over the top, but it was fine. We only had 3 pillows for our bed and I asked for one more, but they didn’t have anymore. So you may want to bring your own if you like to sleep with more than one pillow. They also couldn’t give us any extra towels until they got out of the dryer, so I had to wait an hour to take a shower, as all of ours we still wet from the day before."

Stonebrook Lodge Cherokee

8/10 Good

"Budget priced. Glad that they do not use heavily perfumed cleaning products which set off my allergies. Will stay there again."

"The check-in lady was very friendly and helpful, the room was clean as well as the other parts of the hotel that I saw, across the street from the casino, and the breakfast and other staff were about as nice as you could want. we would not hesitate to stay there again."

Rolling Hills Lodge

8/10 Good

"Tasty cooked to order breakfast each morning, but only a one hour window available. Staff was friendly enough, but you were not allowed to enter the lobby. I had to check in and order breakfast through a window while standing outside. The location was very conveniently located while also away from the traffic in the city. We had an awesome view of a bull elk from the property at night and in the morning. I will absolutely stay there again when I visit the area."
