Things to do
Top hotels in Downtown
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Boone University
"Stain sheets and room smelled like a wet dog. Only way to get Wi-Fi was to sign up for email blasts unless I paid. Zero streaming services on the TV, just basic TV with 30 channels of whatever. All not typical for today’s “Hotels”, more of a motel"

Smoketree Lodge
"Rooms were clean and staff was extra friendly... But the pictures on the site don't accurately represent this property. The inside of the lodge is very cool... but the game room pictures are apparently very old. The games shown in the pictures were not the same. The cool arcade games were missing... ..."
