No Room!!! I will never book through expedia again. You cant promise a room to a place like Branson, when soneone is traveling and now they have to stay in there car!!! I will always recommend to everyone i talk to never to book 3rd parties again! Bad bad bad idea. Its not about the money, its about the inconvenience.
Lobby closed early and could t get in contact with anyone for awhile. Had some crazies in the parking lot and obviously there is structural problems with the whole place because there was an inch gap. Our door. We could see into the hallway with it closed.

We didn’t stay. We walked in the room, saw the run down condition and smelled the old stale ash tray smell from the 80s and left. I was not able to get a refund, but I cut my losses and stayed elsewhere. Don’t stay here. It’s awful.
This place is cool. It gives the vibe of weekend wow.

The first room wasn’t cleaned by housekeeping, the second room smelled funny and had a pair of dirty underwear under the bed. Also, one of the beds had stained sheets.

The room smelled like stinky feet and fish. We normally enjoy the stay but this wasn't to happy.
Room looked like one bed wasn't changed and had dirty socks in the closet area. Was really disappointed this time around no towels in the pool area and someone was supposed to bring some and never did and the pool is supposed to be heated and it wasn't. Would have stayed in another hotel with heated pool if they would have told me this as we wanted to swim.
It was a very cheap stay for us
But you get what you pay for
No new towels or toilet paper for 4 night stay
Had to hunt someone down to get any on the last day
Ac unit was just a wall unit stuck in wall and you could see daylight all around it and it was cold so cold air seeping through
Tub took forever to drain
The pool Looks good but is freezing, so I didn’t get to use it. Huge disappointment. That is why I booked here.

The room was okay. There was hardly any lighting. No microwave. We were there for 7 days and not once did they come in to bring towels, toilet paper or empty any trash cans. We had to go get our own towels and toilet paper. I was really surprised because it was a nice looking hotel.
