Best Western Plus River Escape Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Was in town to visit Western Carolina front desk. Staff was extremely helpful on recommend recommendations for restaurants in the area as we arrived on a Sunday night and a lot of things were closed."

Stonebrook Lodge Cherokee

10/10 Excellent

"The property was very nice, clean, and well maintained. The staff was so nice and helpful. Our brakes went bad on our way through the Great Smokey Mountains National Park, and we had to get our van into the shop. They extended our checkout until noon and said we could sit in the lobby or swim in the pool until our van was finished. So wonderful! They were all friendly, kind, and accommodating. The breakfast was ok but not great. It was the only weak link. I definitely recommend this inn!"

The Glamping Collective

8/10 Good

"Honestly the location and property are gorgeous. Magical mornings and afternoon. Great views and peaceful setting. All that are the good things for a property that costs around 400 a night. The bad things: the access is a little bit too rough, you definitely need a good car, ideally AWD, to get to your cabin. And then, the privacy issue we had. This is a secluded, no kids allowed, unit with privacy walls separating the domes. We were with my wife in the jacuzzi when a drone flew right in front of us, turned and left its camera facing to us for a few minutes. You have to remember that the jacuzzi is outdoor and the interior of the dome is clearly visible from the front as it has a full window side to enjoy the high altitude views with, supposedly, complete privacy. I reached out to Collective Glamping and they found it was from a nearby cabin, assured us (with no proof) that no video or pictures of us were taken by the drone and apologized. Obviously we didnt use the jacuzzi anymore and we left the windows of the dome completely covered for the rest of our stay as we were affraid that the drone would come back and start taking pictures or video of us while we were changing or getting out of the shower. That ruined our 26th anniversary mini vacation. Unfortunately, Collective Glamping only offered an apology. If it was not for this, we would definitely go back."
