Top Tellico Plains Hotel Reviews

Rodeway Inn Sweetwater South

10/10 Excellent

"Great bang for your buck. Hotel is older but well maintained. My room was clean, everything worked well and bed was comfortable. Breakfast was limited but good for the price. Nice little pond out back with friendly ducks. Walmart less than a mile away. Try the Lazy Beagle up the road, great pub food!"

Harrah's Cherokee Valley River Hotel & Casino – A Caesars Rewards Destination

10/10 Excellent

"They serve food very late so you can always grab a snack. That was nice."

Hampton Inn Murphy

8/10 Good

"There are no 'grounds' to the property. It sits at the corner of an intersection, but was amazingly quiet. The front desk staff was nice. The room was clean but did have an odd smell, and I kept smelling cigarettes on and off even though the property is smoke free. The bed was OK. The bathroom fan was non existent. Breakfast was great. Vending machines were half empty. Location was good. It seemed expensive honestly. I don't know if I'd stay here again."

Red Roof Inn Etowah - Athens, TN

10/10 Excellent
