What guests think

At Days Inn by Wyndham Cherokee Near Casino, guests consistently praise the convenient walk-to-the-casino location and budget-friendly rates, while many describe an aging, basic motel experience with mixed cleanliness, occasional maintenance problems, and a very limited continental breakfast.

Rooms feel dated, with nonsmoking units sometimes smelling of smoke or mustiness, dim lighting, and spotty Wi-Fi alongside issues like balky A/C, worn fixtures, and weak water pressure. Service reports vary, from friendly, accommodating staff and smooth check-ins to rude or unresponsive interactions and housekeeping mostly by request. The outdoor pool is inconsistently maintained or closed, and traffic noise can be noticeable. Expect a simple, no-frills stay best for casino visits.

This is an older property, obviously, so if you are looking for updated and fancy, this location is not for you. However, everything was clean, the staff were great to work with, there was a great choice of complimentary breakfast items, great coffee, etc. The pool area is kept clean. The parking lot is well lighted for safety. It is located right across the street from the Harrah's Casino, so it is easily within walking distance. The price was very reasonable, considering it was a holiday weekend. And it is a short drive to all the Cherokee attractions. I enjoyed my four days there very much.

The staff were very nice and check-in was quick. The property itself was okay(get what you pay for). Plenty of parking available and it’s very close to the casino (short walk). The step up to our room was uneven not safe. The room was cleanish. The beds were okay. The pool was full of bugs and the pump/filter was not on. The breakfast was okay, there was not much available but it was free. They had waffle maker, yogurt and cereal available. There was coffee, juice and dairy milk. Overall it was decent for the price and location.

The place was a dump. The room stunk like an ashtray even though we booked a non-smoking room. Shower head barely worked. Black dirt topped the shower surround which was the best part of it. The green chair looked like someone died in it. Curtains were fall off. Fridge had old pizza and sodas left in it. We left a day early since that was the best they could offer.

The location is perfect for those wanting to go to the casino but not wanting the resort price. It’s only a two minute walk away. However, while decently clean, it’s in desperate need of a face lift. The rooms are dark, dingy and poorly lit. Beds are extremely uncomfortable with a weird metal base that we both hit with our feet multiple times.

The owner called me a pratical liar, the room was supposed to be a smoke free room, he said i was a liar I'm allergic to smoke then yesterday morning the smoke alarm kept going off, early in the morning saying battery low. So I left the property early 6:30 a.m. i asked for my money back for the last night which should have been last night. I guess that was my fault for the alarm going off . The room was dirty and old looking

Location is an easy walk to the casino. I had to wait 15 minutes to check in because there was no employees in the office. This was mid afternoon on a Saturday. The room smelled of irons and there was lots of people smoking outside the room. That smell made its way inside. The tub was cracked. The bed was very comfortable. I will not go back as there are much better options nearby that are worth the slight extra charges.

Liked : Across the street from the Casino. There for a concert. The nightshift clerk let us hang at the pool with friend past the closing time for the pool. Disliked: Room smell (was a nonsmoking room) as soon as you walked in. Chair in room had a big stain on it. TV/Satellite remotes not working properly. Carpet in room just felt dirty and musty. We did arrive 2 hours early and asked if we could check in early. The dayshift clerk (a lady) was rather hateful, As soon as I walked in she informed me check-in was 3 pm. A room WAS ready but was going to charge extra 25.00 for early check in. We passed. The evening shift clerk was very nice. For what we needed, and the price more than likely would consider staying again but would for sure bring Febreze with us.

The room was clean and right across road from casino. The bed was very comfortable. Liked having a refrigerator and microwave in the room. The coffee maker in the room did not work but my husband was able to get coffee in the breakfast room. The breakfast was a continental breakfast with waffles, yogurt, apples, and cereal provided, if you wanted a more filling breakfast would need to go somewhere else to get it.

It was a family trip for my son to play at the Casino. The location of the Days Inn is right across the street from the Casino. The Days Inn needs some more upgrades: pool was not open for example. Breakfast has changed since Covid: cereal; packets of oatmeal; yogurt; waffles; fruit; tea and coffee, something for the children mostly. No hot food. Over all it was quiet and peaceful and during the week prices are low.

This place is fine if you aren't too boujee. It's great value. The accommodations are obviously outdated, but it keeps the price low. I will note you have to ask for full-sized towels, and there isn't daily cleaning. Great for a single night of stay. Stayed in a smoking-allowed room and it smelled fine. Can't beat the price and location. Breakfast is simple - cereal, yoghurt, cheese sticks, waffles, juice. It will give you enough energy to hit the tables. I would stay again purely for price and location.
