Top Cherokee National Prison Museum Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn Tahlequa South

10/10 Excellent

"I heard that this building was recently renovated. I don't know what it was like before, but now it is outstanding. For another trip I stayed at a rental home in town for the kitchen facilities, and found it paled in comparison to the Quality Inn. Their breakfast was a healthy mixture of items. Their staff was incredibly friendly. They even held packages for me that arrived late, after my stay, and store deliveries that were sent to the wrong address (theirs). Truly the kindest and most hardworking family I've had the pleasure of interacting with in a long time. The rooms were surprisingly spacious and comfortable, with perfect pillows and bedding, no visible signs of wear or tear within the room as is so often the case with similar chains. I cannot say enough how much I appreciated that the staff were all on point and communicated with one another, so none of my requests or inquiries were passed off with the typical "Oh, that was another shift so I don't know/am not willing to do anything about it" type answers that I've regularly received in this area. The location, too, was great, with the perfect in-between location for all things near the CN complex versus all things downtown. I will absolutely be staying here again."

Best Western NSU Inn

8/10 Good

"This hotel is always a reliably comfortable, pretty clean stay with wonderful friendly staff. The only issue was that I reacted badly to the fragrance they have piping through the hotel and it made me cough a lot during my whole stay. It’s very unfortunate because it’s not the staff’s fault, but it’ll make it difficult for me to stay here in the future. Please consider lessening the fragrance, as I’m sure there are other guests as well who are allergic."

Tenkiller Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Overall a good place to stay!"

Tru by Hilton Tahlequah

Regency Inn And Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean. The staff was very nice."
