Quality Inn Cherokee Riverside

Nestled in the foothills of Cherokee, along the shores of the Oconaluftee River, the Quality Inn^® hotel offers you an affordable place to stay to get the most of your time and money in this enchanting area. Conveniently located in the land of the Cherokee, just minutes from the casino, our hotel puts you in a perfect spot to begin a mountain adventure.

Bordered on one side by the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Nantahala National Forest on the other, this place is the Cherokee home and a land apart. Learn about Native American heritage at Oconaluftee Indian Village, or catch a performance of the long-running, classic outdoor drama “Unto These Hills,” just minutes away. We are very close to Oconaluftee Visitor Center, at the entrance to the Smokies, and near Nantahala Outdoor Center, a vast outdoor recreation venue, with ziplining, mountain biking and whitewater rafting.

After a day of exploring, our hotel gives you a great place to rest. Settle in to guest rooms with TVs and premium bedding, some with private balconies and views of the surrounding hills. Lounge on the sun deck of our seasonal outdoor pool, or catch up on work with free WiFi and free coffee. In the morning, get even more of your money's worth with our free, fresh breakfast buffet. We give you friendly service, value and a Cherokee adventure to remember.
