One of the nicest Quality Inns that I have ever stayed at. Great location with a beautiful creek behind the hotel! We saw ducks, geese, and even a couple of elk. Loved the view and the pool!
It was a great stay! My kids…

Petra R FUnited StatesReally great rooms!!
Location was good. Not on the main street but only a mile and half away so that was nice. Rooms were super clean, beds were very comfortable, and barking was great.
I do think the staff could be a little friendlier. And…

What time is check-in and check-out at Quality Inn Cherokee Riverside?

Does Quality Inn Cherokee Riverside have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Quality Inn Cherokee Riverside have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Quality Inn Cherokee Riverside?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Quality Inn Cherokee Riverside?
