I always use a blue light to check my room and I have to say it was impressive! Very clean and completely comfortable. Very helpful having the guest laundry onsite as well as the continental breakfast. It may not be the most updated but it was indeed cleaner and more comfortable than many more popular hotels I have stayed in here in Cherokee. Very quiet and no complaints here. I will stay here again when in the area
