The next time you’re hoping for a great, big dose of nostalgia, then head to Cherokee, North Carolina and book a room at the Pink Motel. Drive-up motor lodges like this one are becoming a casualty of progress. Fortunately, though, the Pink Motel and its vintage neon Tinkerbell sign are still thriving as if it’s still 60 or 70 years ago, when a place like this was your first choice when you could afford to travel – and get a nice place to spend the night.
Travelers from all over the country seem to be in agreement that Pink Motel is an awesome place to bed down on a road trip to the Cherokee area.
Aside from the roadside intrigue, Pink Motel consistently gets an amazing 4 out of 5 stars from Trip Advisor reviewers, and Google reviews average 4.4 out of 5 stars.
It seems you can't go wrong, especially if you love the ambiance of the quiet riverside oasis found right outside your room's back door. The lush oasis out back even has picnic tables and grills so you can make your own lunch or dinner and have a picnic.
Families love this place so much, they leave tokens of their visit and appreciation. Scan the landscape here and you'll find many more like this one — and some that get new dates added by the family each year when they return.
Is this place filled with amenities like a spa? Nope. But it has a pool — and it has cable. If you want more than that, then go stay at the casino. Folks here like it simple and love the nostalgia that comes without all of the complications of added amenities. Oh, and they also comment on how affordable it is.
From a over-accommodating, friendly staff to a property brimming with nostalgic reminders of days gone by, it's no wonder why the Pink Motel in Cherokee is so beloved by visitors.
