Newfound Lodge on the river

8/10 Good

"My husband and I stayed one night at this hotel. It was just okay as it is a terribly old hotel that has not been maintained. Wallpaper was stapled back up and all doors were scratched up so horribly that one would think a horrible fight or something happened. The beds themselves actually felt and looked vbery clean but everything else was just kinda "icky". It was fine for one night but I defintiely wouldn't want to stay longer. Exterior of building is very messy, dirty, unkept as well which made going to/from car a bit uneasy with their very low lighting. Did not use balcony."

Clarion Pointe Cherokee

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is outdated but clean and quiet. Had a ton of parking. Very close to the casino. My TV wasn't working but the lady working the front desk came up quickly and fixed it for me. No complaints"
