The accommodations were OK for a two-night stay. My friend and I were in town for a concert at Harrah's. I'm from Los Angeles and she's from Vancouver, BC. The reviews online were good so we booked.. When we arrived we were greeted by a pleasant mid-aged man with his friendly dog sitting in the registration area. As the paperwork... More

We had to go to Cherokee on business, and had not made reservations. We were stopping off at the Casino, and wanted a hotel near by. The El Camino is beside the casino. We had our little dog with us. The woman at the front desk was very pleasant and allowed us to have our little dog in our room.... More

This is a nice small motel that is close to almost everything you want to do while visiting Cherokee NC. We had a room with 2 queen beds that was very spacious and clean. The beds were a little on the hard side along with the pillows but other than that it was not to bad. I did not like... More

This is an old style motel but very well-kept and the owners are super nice and informative. It was very clean and the parking lot, through a circuitous route, connects to the parking lot of Harrah's Casino -- so you can drive close to the casino without going onto the main street. The pool looked lovely though I did not... More

Older motel, but charming and well maintained. Yes, you do have to put a quarter in ice machine, but they give you the quarter when you check in your room. Great benefit is that their parking lot joins Harrah's.

My husband and I checked in on Sunday evening, we chose the El Camino because of the beautiful pool. My husband knew it was a great decision the moment we entered the lobby; the owner and his dog greeted us and his wife was cooking dinner in the attached kitchen and the aroma was wonderful! Unfortunately he didn't get invited... More

We visited Cherokee and stayed at this hotel for one night. The manager and staff were very helpful. The rooms are large in size and very clean. The hotel was located within walking distance of Harrah's casino and in the middle of Cherokee. Parking was plentiful, the pool very clean and each room had a bench and porch light. I... More
