Sleep Inn Bryson City - Cherokee Area
Beds were in bad shape and squeaked. Not very clean, found a spiderweb and bug by air conditioner. Sliding bathroom door on the inside appeared to have never been cleaned. Weird shower. Stain on carpet. Breakfast was sad. Place was quiet. Staff was great.

Two Rivers Lodge
Very nice people at front desk, room was SPOTLESS.....excellent location and property grounds were beautiful. Beds were comfy and room was quaintly appointed. On the downside, we could not use the chairs sitting on the porch of our room because of the two chain smokers sitting on porch next to us ...
