Found this place by accident. We had just gotten a new puppy and needed a place to stay for a couple of nights in Cherokee. None of the motels there accepted pets! Stopped and asked if anywhere around did and was directed to the Pink. My reaction was, "Is it a 'hooker' motel?" and was told no. I had my... More

Yep, it's retro and old-fashioned. But the TV worked, the AC was cold, and the folks at check-in were very friendly. River out back. Beds were fine. Glad we stayed. They share the pool / hot tub with the place across the street. And the hot tub was great. Be advised the town closes up at 9. The nearest mini-mart... More

I recently had the pleasure to stay at the Pink Motel in Cherokee, NC. I found it to be clean and well kept up. The motel itself has been in business since the 1930's or 1940's. The motel staff is friendly and helpful. While the rooms are a little small, they are adquately sized and offer the same ammenities that... More

I have long trusted the reviews on Tripadvisor to lead me to good lodging and eating and have never been disappointed. I decided on The Pink Motel based on reviews here and a glowing report from a woman at the Cherokee Chamber of Commerce. I have to say, I hit gold again. Inexpensive compared to most of the other places... More

I have stayed here many times as a child with my grandparents but came back as an adult with my mother who had never been to Cherokee before. We both loved the Pink Motel not only was the staff super friendly but all the tenants staying at the motel were just as friendly as they could be. It is like... More

I found the Pink Motel very clean--well maintained--a very friendly staff--with a lovely river view and very accessible to restaurants and local activities. Ms. Faye, at the front desk referred me to her mechanic when my brakes needed attention. I traveled solo and felt very safe and well taken care of at the Pink Motel !! People frequently sat both...

I booked this motel for my family based on the good reviews on this site. I really wanted to like it and was hopeful with the recent reviews. However, it turned out to be the worst motel/hotel experience we ever had! From reading the other reviews I knew to expect the room to be retro, but clean. The first thing... More

We stayed at the pink memorial day weekend 2011. As said by others it is a little dated but was a great place to stay. Kind of fun getting away from the usual grind of the big chain motels. Sitting out front after walking to several good restaurants was great. We loved the laid back atmosphere of Cherokee. They start... More

We would not think of visiting the Smokies without first staying a few nights at Pink Motel. We have been doing this for over 20 years. It may not be the fanciest motel in Cherokee but nothing can beat the peace and serenity of sitting out back by the river. Our choice forever. More
