Sleep Inn Bryson City - Cherokee Area

8/10 Good
"Stayed Sunday night in late September. Hotel was very clean, odor free, and quiet. Staff was friendly, efficient, and helpful. Breakfast was standard fare with both cold and hot selections. Highly recommend and would stay there again if in area. Outdoor pool was not clean (water was clear, but quite a bit of leaf debris). I suspect they were in process of closing it down being so late in season. We had no plans to swim (and didn't), but viewed it outside our window. Laundry room was clean and functional. Arbys/ McDonalds within walking distance (less than quarter mile), but not much else. Only negative is it is a 2 story with no elevator, so be sure to request ground floor if any health issues."
