Rivers Edge Motel

Such a great place to stay. On the river balcony was so relaxing and enjoyable. One thing I missed was not having a microwave in the room. For the money I paid per night a microwave should have been there. There is a microwave in the lobby during day hours. Not the same. But I'd sure stay there again. Rocking chairs on the balcony and we were set!

Perfect location. A little stuffy the room but a little personal fan took care of that. Room was very clean as well as the bathroom. I enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching folks tube down the river. Lots of geese and ducks playing in the water. Highly recommend.

I loved this motel located in Cherokee. It is close to the Smoky Mountains and not far to Bryson City. We had a group of 10 and booked various rooms downstairs. I called and spoke with Patti several times asking questions and making changes. She was great to work with. Parking is at the edge of the road, but also at your doorway. I only heard traffic if a load motorcycle or vehicle went by. We used a sound spa that blocked out most noise. I only heard someone in the room above us one night and it wasn’t bad. The rooms have all been renovated and were very clean. The shower was hot with good water pressure. We had a nice balcony overlooking the river. The ice and microwave are located in the office. The office is open from 9am-9pm. My rating is 4.5 as I would like to use a microwave at 4-5am before I head out to hike.

We loved the simplicity & hospitality of the hotel a few years ago - enjoying the river from our balcony was wonderful. We were hoping it fared well in Helene and are relieved it was spared from devastation. The museum was memorable. Hope to return soon.

Pleasantly surprised with the updated and very clean room given the affordability. Beds comfortable and plenty of channels on the TV. Private large balcony - room 202 - directly over the water with rocking chairs to enjoy the sounds of the flowing creek. Young lady checking us in was very accommodating and hospitable and readily offered to let us see a room before booking. Close to several restaurants and shops.

This motel is at a great location in the town and as advertised right on the river. Staff were friendly and readily gave advice on the best places to eat. Coffee and snacks available as well. Rooms were clean and quite large. Great to sit on the deck early morning and late afternoon and watch the river flow by.
