Rodeway Inn and Suites on the River

We love staying here and stay there every time we go to Cherokee. The room was what we planned this time though. Several things weren’t there or didn’t work. I really wish Rodeway would spend a little money here to fix the place up. It is the best location in Cherokee, yet treated as one of the after thoughts in investment. Please take these words to heart ♥️

Really nice location and very clean just no breakfast

It has been a few years since I stayed here and it is one of my 2 favorite (Econo Lodge is the other) Cherokee hotels. There are two different types of rooms--older rooms to the left of the main office with 2 double beds, green bed spreads and small rooms without microwave or minifridge. The other rooms, to the right of the main office have the golden bed spreads and an entry way arch. They have a hallway sink and a bathroom sink. Both sets of rooms have a nice balcony overlooking the Oconaluftee River. I booked thinking that I had selected the better larger room with microwave and fridge. The hotel was having construction work when I arrived and the better rooms were roped off so you couldn't park in front of them. When I checked in, the clerk assigned me one of the smaller, older rooms. I asked to see it before paying so the choice was mine whether to take it or not. I said it was okay before I realized about the microwave and the mini-fridge. My breakfast and dinner snack routines pretty much require them both so I had to scramble to work around this situation. I am not a high maintenance traveler but I did mention on check out that the room was substandard for a Choice Hotel. I'll stay here again but will be careful to ask about which room I am getting. You might want to do the same.

Staff was very nice an accommodating. Would stay here again because of how there service was. but the pictures look better than the actual room. Its an older hotel.

Was a comfortable stay. Would stay again.

The view of the river was spectacular
