I will start by saying-this is NOT a big chain hotel, and does not have a 24 hour lobby. They will not allow early check in, and check in time is at 3pm. The lobby is closed from 10pm-7am. Overall, the experience I had was unpleasant, and I will not be returning. There are so many options in Branson, I don't feel like you really have to give any one place a second chance. The night staff did what he could to make things better, but it was not what I expected, nor what I would have preferred. If you're looking for a place to stay with the bare necessities, and do not need a lot of options for breakfast, this is your place. Otherwise, keep looking!

Nightmare stay
Do not stay here! Sheets had hair in them, coffee pot in room covered in toothpaste, shower full of hair, towels stained brown, 1 spider came out of drain 1 the size of half dollar in bathroom. Son got bit by something on arm 3 times. Breakfast was awful. Nothing but cereal, light bread and gravy. Another guest asked for more biscuits she brings them out and tells them to heat them up in the microwave they was straight out of the fridge. Chairs in room and breakfast room was so nasty I hated to sit in them.

We were on our honeymoon and the room we got was supposed to have a microwave and a jacuzzi tub. No microwave. Jacuzzi tub was broken. Pool wasn’t filled. Barely any breakfast. We asked if we could switch rooms and they wouldn’t let us. No vending machine to be found either. After saying there was one.

Branson Vacation Inn & Suites - no.
check in fine, in 5 night stay, maid service never cleaned room. had to go to office for towels and toilet paper. carpet needed to be cleaned or replaced - feet would be black after walking around without shoes. tv was older crt type tv, remote would not turn tv on or off. I don't mind maid service every other day or every 3rd day, but it is not acceptable to not have service at all. will be traveling back to branson this fall, will not be staying at this hotel.

Good clean place to go if you just want a night st
the hotel was clean but it ever tires on are my site that there was a pool and when I asked about the pool they said the pool was down for the last 2 months being fixed and then whenever I asked about ice they said sorry it's in the middle but there's no ice of the hay won't be any ice for 2 hours which is was 830 at night and they said that somebody used it and took it in there coolers and filled them up and left so then I didn't get no ice for my drinks that I wanted to drink before I went to bed.and the beds were were flimsy so I have both of us had back problems so it made our backs hurt.

Dirty, disgusting and nothing was as advertised! Pool was closed , full of brown water. Breakfast was literally watered down. So bad we were afraid to eat. Sheets were dingy, stained and thin, no toilet paper or Kleenex in check in ! Carpet from 20-30 years ago and so dirty! No daily room service! Almost no one spoke English! Refused a refund ! I could go on and On and On ! The worst motel I have ever , ever stayed in !

Run like heck from this place!
Checked in and the desk clerk told me the room we were in had a hot tub but it was out of order. I didn’t pay for it so I thought no big deal. However, they must have been working on the plumbing because they left the side exposed. Also, the front of the sink and vanity was coming off. It looked like they tried to Superglue it and it was coming off. Finally, this property does not provide daily housekeeping. I was shocked! You could tell they didn’t spend a lot of time when they clean in between guests. The area behind the night stands were filthy. If we had paid more than $40 a night for the room, we would have asked for a refund. Had Branson not been so busy we may have done that anyway. We will NEVER stay here again.

The room was semi clean. There was something on the wall and door in the bathroom. The spa was broken and the site shows an outdoor pool and there wasn’t one. We were there 2 nights, the room never was cleaned and we had to go request for more toilet paper and towels. We will never stay there again!!!

Don’t go here!! The rooms stunk like pea, the shower curtain had mold all over it. There was still trash behind the bathroom door on the floor. The people that own it run around the place all hours of the night screaming and yelling. The outdoor pool was broke and has been for months is what I was told.

Nice stay close to 76 Hwy
Nice big room with two queen beds. Older TV but it worked fine and had lots of channels. We had a nice view of the outdoor pool area even if it was too cool for the pool. The only thing was we didn't get any housekeeping service for the two days there. Usually most places make up the bed and dump the trash. This one didn't.

We had to b careful even entering or exiting the room because they're were people scraping and painting doors. Looked barely like the website led on. Bed was squishy but horrible bedding

Motel Hell
The description in no way matches what you get. We booked a king bed, jetted tub, and a balcony. When we arrived we opened the room and it was a cold enough to see my breath. We tried to get the heat turned on Tried to call the front desk, no phone. After much head scratching the removed the AC unit and swapped it out of another room all the while we had a big opening in the room and still frigid. The jacuzzi tub would not turn on that evening. We reported it the next day and that got fixed. The hot and cold valve in the shower and tub was switched and the hot water is scalding hot. Found that out the hard way. I turned the water on in the shower.Heat was set in the middle. I got in and thought I needed more cold water and turned the faucet to the cold side. The water got hotter real fast. I turned the valve to cold and got scalded by water. Then there was the bathroom sink that looked like a huge spiderweb because of the cracks. The toilet ran the entire time I was there. I would never, EVER recommend this hotel.

The floor was very dirty! The hotel was old and not very well-kept! I felt like I needed to take a shower after walking on the floors. I would not have stayed there after seeing the room if it were not for getting there at midnight. I was supposed to stay for three nights but checked out the next morning. The hotel staff refused to give me a reimbursement for paying for three nights stating they have a 24 hour cancellation policy . I contacted my credit card company and they are working with me .

On par for a cheap hotel I guess. Old square tv with non-working remote, keyed doors (not cards). Shower was serviceable but that’s all. Beds were low to the ground but serviceable- sheets appeared clean under close inspection and slept fine after requesting and getting a second pillow. Wide mix of folks staying there, some appeared to be actually living there. Staff seemed nice and accommodating during my limited interaction. All in all it served its purpose for one night, we got into town a day earlier than expected and just needed a place to hold us over until our other reservations at another hotel. Can’t really complain for less than $50. With that said there are much better options for just a few dollars more.

Hotel was inexpensive for a resort town. Hotel room was clean and neat, what we expected. Don't plan on using the pool. They have one, and they will tell you over the phone when making reservations they have one, when you arrive you will be witness to the fact that they have one. It's covered with a tarp, and completely unusable. Also the toilet wouldn't flush, so i called to the desk and nice, polite young lady brought me a most inappropriate plastic plunger, then left me to it. Plastic plungers that are designed for sinks aren't successful with toilets. The nice young lady did manage to fix the problem after we left for our show after I was politely insistent with her. Other than these things, everything was perfect.
