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.

Property was Ok. Liked the location. We had a second story room which was fine but we were given a room that was farthest away from any stairs and the place was virtually empty.

Ok place. Quick visit type stay. Nothing glamorous. Overpriced for weekend but somewhat anticipated with the casino just 5 minute drive away. But love Cherokee the town and area. Beautiful place!
