"Just what we needed."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
The hotel is in a great location. You can walk to almost everything: including a rodeo right across the road. Shop till you drop in two different directions! I recommend the horseback riding at Smokemont Riding Stables. Granny's Kitchen; and El Cajelito Mexican Restaurant. There's definitely more; but I could only do so much. Great continental breakfast at the hotel and very friendly staff. I definitely want to come back and do some hiking.
