Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Cherokee
Cherokee, NC
Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Cherokee is a select-service Marriott hotel in Cherokee’s Casino District, located across from Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort on the Qualla Boundary. The hotel is designed for practical overnight stays rather than a full resort experience, with guest rooms and suites, free Wi-Fi, a lobby workspace, free hot breakfast, on-site laundry, and an exercise room.
For poker travelers, the main advantage is location. The hotel sits very close to Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort, home to the WSOP Poker Room at Harrah’s Cherokee. That makes it useful for players who want a quieter hotel base near the casino without staying inside the resort itself.
The property is also convenient for visitors combining poker with a Cherokee or Great Smoky Mountains trip. Dining and entertainment options are strongest across the street at Harrah’s Cherokee, while the hotel’s breakfast, parking, and Marriott brand consistency make it a straightforward lodging option for tournament weekends, short poker trips, or multi-day stays in Cherokee.

Why Players Like This Hotel
Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Cherokee is best understood as a practical off-casino hotel for players using the WSOP Poker Room at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort. The hotel is across from the resort area, so most players can walk rather than rely on rideshare or casino parking for daily poker sessions.
The most important poker destination from this hotel is Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort. The walk is short enough for early tournament starts, late-night cash sessions, and quick breaks back to the room, although players should still allow extra time to move through the casino and reach the poker room. This is especially useful during multi-day tournament series when repeated trips between the room and casino can become tiring.
The hotel’s free breakfast is useful for players with morning tournament flights, and free on-site parking adds value compared with larger resort properties where parking can be more complicated. The tradeoff is that the Fairfield itself is not a full casino resort. Players who want late-night restaurants, gaming, entertainment, or the full casino atmosphere will need to use Harrah’s Cherokee across the street.
This hotel is a strong fit for poker players who want Marriott-brand basics, walkable access to Harrah’s Cherokee, and a quieter place to sleep between tournament days or long cash-game sessions. It is less ideal for players who prefer to be directly inside the casino, want resort dining under the same roof, or expect luxury-level amenities.
