Great place in a great location
We enjoyed our stay and will be returning. I would recommend staying in Branson. Lots of things to do. Marriott Willow Ridge is a great place to stay as a location and even if you want to take the day to stay at the resort to enjoy it's amenities.

Great visit with kids!
This is our second stay with repeat 5 star reviews. Everything was great! There were several activities offered by the hotel like an ice cream social, movie watching on big screen, & craft projects for kids. Each day there are different activity options and they are posted weekly. Our room was very clean & the 2 bedroom was perfect for a family. The kitchen was handy. The staff was very friendly & helpful. We will be back!

AWESOME EXPERIENCE & SERVICE
We took a last minute trip to Branson, had never been before, & luckily found this resort. The resort staff was incredible, truly exceptional service & the rooms, grounds & activities were great as well. We had grandparents, 2 little ones & my wife & I & we loved it!!!With the indoor pool, activity room, baby pool & the outdoor pool it was a blast for the whole family. Multiple activities throughout the day for all ages & more important than anything was the rooms were all extremely clean! Thanks to the staff for a great 4th of July!!!!!!!

Great Place To Stay
Second to the gorgeous weather while we were there, the villa we stayed in was our favorite part of our trip to Branson. Very clean and well appointed. We loved having the kitchen for light breakfasts and lunches or late suppers. We were very impressed with the people at the "desk." We called a few times about a housekeeping request, help with getting a printed confirmation for a show we were going to, and recommendations for where to eat dinner one night. The staff were very very helpful, friendly and courteous. We encountered a few housekeeping and maintenance staff coming and going from our villa. All were pleasant and hospitable. The location was great too. Not far off the main drag but far enough that we felt away from the lights, traffic and noise. We would recommend this resort to anyone.

Entertainment tip:
Short drive from hotel
We would recommend the American Bandstand show and the Mickey Gilley show. We would not recommend the breakfast show with Mark Twain. We left at intermission from the Mark Twain show. The breakfast was marginal (at a diner across from the "theater") and the theater was like being in someone's basement.

A Fantastic Place Willing to Accommodate
From spotless rooms to friendly staff, this Marriott complements all aspects of a Branson summer vacation. The different choices of pools, the HUGE video screen in the conference room, special activities scattered throughout the week and an impeccably well kept grounds keeps you and your family entertained or at rest, as you need.

Dissapointed MVO
They pester you at 8:30 a.m.!
The hotel was very nice. We are Marriott Vacation owners ourselves and that's why we decided to stay at this hotel. However, our room was not ready till 4:30 p.m. The next day housekeeping was banging on our door and opened the door at 8:30 a.m. asking us to leave. They did this 3 times between 8:30 and 9:30 a.m. and each time less hospitable until we called the front desk and complained. We were unable to enjoy our morning with our family. We were very upset and dissapointed about this. We paid $250/night and got a worst than motel treatment. We have stayed at Marriott Vacation hotels all around the U.S. and never been treated like this. Marriott needs to check out their Branson location and train their staff to be more hospitable and considerate with their guests.

Fantastic For Families
This is the best place for families to stay with 3 or more children. The two bedroom villas are the perfect size with two bathrooms. It accommodated our family of five and two grandparents with plenty of room to sleep, eat and relax. Concierge desk in the main building was a life saver for show tickets. Just stop by anytime to have them purchase tickets ahead of time. Perfect pool. Never felt crowded and the staff who runs the games and crafts were excellent. They seem to love their jobs. Great location. Close to all shows and attractions and out of all the traffic. Grocery store is very close by to stock up your kitchen. Wouldn't stay anywhere else in Branson.

Short drive from hotel
I would recommend starting your day early as Branson seems to be a sleep in kind of town. When we were out and about before 11am we were able to do anything with no waiting. Go karts, bumper boats, minigolf, museums. It's also cooler in the mornings.

travels with children
We slept on the floor
We got the room with one bed and one sleeper sofa. The sleeper sofa was so uncomfortable, that I could feel the springs in it. Called the front desk the next morning, but the only option was for them to send an egg crate. We put it on the mattress on the floor. We did not pay this kind of money to end up sleeping on the floor. This is also more of a cabin type experience in that we found ourselves doing dishes. This does not belong under hotels at all. Pool was great, though.

"Wonderful family getaway..loved it!
One of the prettiest places we've ever stayed. The rooms were absolutely great and truly the cleanest. All amenities were provided and the resort was located right in the heart of Branson but beautifully hidden from it all. Very quiet and we'd highly recommend!
