I spent most of my time in the Cherokee casino. When I checked in they were friendly and courteous. The beds were comfortable. The parking was next to the rooms. I was pleased with the accommodations.

Charlotte, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

One additional item you might consider for each room would be a small coffee maker; other than that the room was very nice.
George, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Check-in was easy, staff was helpful, the property is outdated. Room was clean. Just a quick stay. It was all we needed.
Greg, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The setting around the property. There was nothing I disliked.
Gary, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

We brought our son to NC for his 10th bday trip and he caught his 1st native trout in the river behind the hotel, pink meat. That was his only request. While fishing in the river we looked up the river and seen a heard of elk crossing, very cool. We will be returning.
Nichole, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Room was sufficient for the purpose, a bed to sleep in while on a fishing trip with buddies. I wouldn’t want to bring my wife to stay. Walls had major water damage and dry wall buckling with wall paper peeling off the walls. The room was cool and had good AC. Was just one step above primitive camping but for $88 it was survivable for one night.
Travis, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Room 128 toilet runs constantly
Lori, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Nice, low-budget room with outdoor balcony on a river. I was very pleased with my accommodations at the Newfound Lodge - spacious room, very comfortable bed, mini-fridge w/ freezer, microwave, and river view. The room furnishings are old with saggy carpet, scratched walls, and a small TV and bathroom. Also a musty odor when first entering the room. But for the price and location, it was perfect.
Gina, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

Water damage visible with black mold. Dirty carpet. Musty smell. The balcony however was great with view of creek. Needs to be lit up thou, very dark.
Rebekah, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

It was guilt, beds were comfy! Older motel but clean! Good for the price, we chose to stay and extra night. Only bad was it said it had a pool ! When I ask where it was . He said they didn’t have a pool! If it wasn’t for the rocking chair over looking the river and watching the tubers going down , I would have not stayed
Penny, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Property has potential but assuming flood got it and it never recovered. Room smelled like wet dog and sheets had holes in it. But it was beautiful to see river behind it.
Jeremy, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Just didnt seem like it had been kept up and thoroughly cleaned.
Audrey, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Shower walls and shower curtain had blue body wash or shampoo on it. Drains very slow. Carpet is filthy.
Cindy, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Well it was good enough for what we paid for. But one bed was completely clean... the other bed was hidding what you don't wanna see. Yellow water marked pillows and sheets. (Could have been pee. Ya never know.
Gabriela, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The view did not look like the picture it was Growed up, the room was dirty. Furniture all messed up look like a place that drug addicts should stay. Did not feel safe would not go back. Would not recommend anybody to go. I would not even recommend your company to book anybody a room there Had had to ask for toilet paper. Had to ask for wash clothes Just. A nasty place
