Pleasant stay

We stayed one night on our way to Branson Missouri. Everything was fine with the room. The woman at the front desk was very nice. Breakfast was mostly pastries. There was one waffle maker there, but the line was quite extensive with kids waiting, so we did not use that.

Do Not Stay Here!

15-minutes before arriving at the hotel, they called to say the handicapped room I reserved was unavailable. I could not understand much after that as I was driving. Told them I’d come there and discuss. Upon arrival was told the room type I requested was no longer available. They said they’d give me a different type room but I told them that since both my wife and I are disabled we require a handicap room. They said no other option available and no other rooms available. I requested they contact a sister property to see if any other rooms were available. Desk clerk refused. I then requested my money be refunded. Again he refused. At this time he was becoming belligerent. After arguing with him for over 45-minutes and demanding he call his manager, his manager told him to give us a room. Miraculously, a handicapped room in a supposedly full hotel became available. We stayed reluctantly, but I can tell you I will never stay with property again, nor this chain ever again. If this is how they treat their customers in this day and time, I suggest no one else ever do business with them either. Really poor experience.
