Located in Whittier, 1.3 miles from Harrah's Casino, Qualla Cabins and Motel Cherokee near Casino has accommodations with a terrace, free private parking and barbecue facilities.

The staff was exceptional in their job the ambiance was definitely Cherokee style no other way to describe it not to mention they did explain there is a $50 deposit on cash pay when you pay at the counter so be prepared and I don't blame them the place is so nice they deserve to have that deposit you get it back in cash if you pay by cash the next day don't blame them it's not the policy they wanted to enforce but had to you'll love it here it's awesome! Trust me when you lay down in one of their beds it makes them for everything they're so comfy

Looking for a motel?

Both travelers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help make check-in quick and easy.

    Typical motel on the road near all Cherokee attractions and shops. The balcony overlooking the Oconaluftee River is very relaxing and we were able to sleep with the balcony door open without AC, which we really enjoyed. We went to the open air theater and the Cherokee village, the Qualla shop has authentic handicrafts, the others sell Chinese stuff.

    This location has the most amazing balcony overlooking the river. The place is always spotless. I once left some of my personal belongings at the motel before I made it out of Cherokee they called and had it waiting in the front office. We always stay here when we come to the mountains.
