Very happy with our stay.. staff was great
Stay overall was fine.. room had obviously need of repairs because of the unpainted drywall all over. The staff was amazing. We had to leave out early and they refunded our other night back to us. Everyone was supper friendly… I would still recommend it to anyone coming to town. Great location as well.

A Great Break
The hotel staff was great about adding another day to our stay. The room was extremely nice. The only thing was the hot water was not that hot. The weather was cold so a hot bath would have been nice. No complaints, everything went smoothly. Can't wait to be back in Cherokee again.

Very helpful front desk staff!
Rooms were sparkly clean, plenty of hot water (it was cold this past weekend) and location was great for going out and sight-seeing the area!
Price per night is reasonable - you get your bang for the buck!

When I walked into the room I could smell the clean bed linens. Even though it was an older hotel it was very clean and in good shape. It was conveniently located and the staff was very personable. I stayed in a Hilton the night before and I actually preferred the Econolodge. If I go back I'm staying here, for the price it cannot be beat!

It was our 2nd stay at Econo Lodge. It didn't disappoint. It's clean, comfy and safe. The location is close to everything we wanted and the staff are always friendly. It isn't fancy, but weren't looking for luxury.
