Everything was good except for the people at the hotel having a car convention. They were very loud until at least 10:45pm. The hotel staff got them to quiet down the 2nd night after 8pm and it was better.

Cherokee Grand Hotel
Room was clean although the bathroom exhaust fan didn't work. I was expecting a little more out of the breakfast, but they could've at least had a microwave. Casino parking was abundant, staff was doing their jobs, but we just weren't impressed with the casino.
