The Spotlight on Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Cherokee

Concert Convenience Meets Mountain Comfort

Modern comfort meets mountain charm at Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Cherokee, a casual and convenient hotel located just a 2-minute walk from Harrah's Casino in Cherokee, NC. With free WiFi, complimentary parking, and a welcoming atmosphere, it’s a great base for music lovers exploring the area or catching a show.

Why Concert-goers love it

You can’t beat the location—it’s practically next door to Harrah’s Casino, one of the area’s top entertainment venues. Whether you're walking back after a late-night show or catching an early check-in at 3:00 PM, the hotel keeps things easy. With a 24-hour front desk and quiet, clean rooms, it’s a restful retreat after a night of music. Plus, with check-out at noon, there's no rush to hit the road the next morning.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable, central crash pad
  • Solo travelers seeing a favorite artist at Harrah’s
  • Couples on a music-filled weekend getaway
  • Fans who want a quiet recovery space after the show
  • Budget-conscious concert-goers who still want convenience and comfort

Food and Drink Options

The hotel serves up a continental or buffet breakfast—perfect for refueling after a late night. While there’s no on-site restaurant, you’re just steps away from dining options at the casino and nearby eateries. For those late-night cravings, the vending machines and walkable food choices will do the trick.

Nightlife Options

Harrah’s Casino next door is your go-to for live music, bars, and late-night action. Whether you're catching a concert, trying your luck, or sipping a drink at one of the lounges, you’ll be close enough to walk back safely. Prefer something more low-key? The hotel’s calm vibe offers a nice contrast to the bustling nightlife nearby.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, clean rooms, and unbeatable location for attending shows at the casino. Reviews often mention the great value, free parking, and how easy it is to get around without needing to drive after a concert.

Areas for Improvement

There’s no on-site bar or full restaurant, so you’ll need to head out for most meals. Also, while the hotel doesn't offer room service, the nearby options help make up for it.

The Bottom Line

If you’re catching a show at Harrah’s and want to stay close without breaking the bank, Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Cherokee is a solid, stress-free choice.

Superb

Liked: We loved the location. It was easy to check-in. The rooms were comfy.
Disliked: The shampoo, conditioner, and bodywash had not been refilled. The staff was not knowledgeable about events going on in the area. The breakfast (coffee, eggs, bacon, etc.) was not able to be replenished in a timely manner because there was only one person doing it.
