Another Great visit - Relaxation just off the Branson Strip…read more - - - - - - - - September, 2025 Visit Short Summary: Great property near everything yet can and relaxing. Located on the Yellow Route and close to Reza Theater, the Titanic, and about 15 minutes from Salt Lake City- - -Additional information : My wonderful wife planned a getaway to Branson Labor Day weekend 2025, and we had a great time. Each time we've visited, we have stayed at Willow Ridge. We have typically been in rooms near the pool; this trip on the 5th floor with a view away from the pool, to the south. We hadn't realized when we scheduled the trip, but this 2025 Labor Day weekend, Branson hosted the US Navy Blue Angels for the first time, and we could see the show from our balcony - wonderful! - - - The property - - - Three buildings; 5 floors apiece. You can see the Branson Strip (Hw 76) but you don't hear the commotion. To the south is a great view of the Ozark hills.- - -The room- - -The rooms are standard MVCI / Marriott Vacation Club rooms:- 2 bedrooms, one king and two full sized beds- 2 bathrooms- Laundry- Kitchens with servings for 8 and all the utensils you need; refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, microwave and coffee machine.. with coffee available; just ask housekeeping for more- Patio table and chairs with a view- nice!Recommendation: bring a Bluetooth speaker for music.- - - Activities- - -In the main building there is football, ping pong / table tennis, an exercise room, a place for kids to have fun, and more. We spent most of our time at the pool; there are hot tubs. We also played a round of disc golf - this seems to be a simple course, but it does have surprising challenges; more MVCIs should have disc golf like Willow Ridge does!- - - MarketPlace- - -The MarketPlace is in the lobby; is a smaller shop. For more groceries, go to Rhodes Price Chopper, in the same parking lot as Walmart: ... leave the Marriott, and turn left/east on the Yellow Route ... at Green Mtn Drive, Yellow Route turns right/south; continue straight on Green Mtn. Dr. ... and at the top of the hill you'll see the Branson Strip is just ahead; look right and turn into the parking lot - - - Thank you, Willow Ridge! - - - ----- ----- -----

No Frills, No Complaints -- Perfect for a Branson Overnight…read more We were in town to catch "David" at the Sight & Sound Theatre (absolutely incredible, by the way), and all we really needed was a clean, affordable place to crash for the night. The Branson Ozarks Inn, now operating as a Days Inn by Wyndham, fit the bill perfectly. Location was a huge win -- the theatre was just a few blocks away, so we didn't have to deal with any hassle getting there. Check-in was quick and painless, and the front desk staff were friendly and welcoming right from the start. Is the place a little dated? Sure. But you can tell they're in the middle of making upgrades, and the effort shows. Our room was clean and comfortable, which is really all that matters for a one-night stay. We also appreciated the outdoor seating area -- a nice little touch for winding down after the show. This isn't a luxury resort and it doesn't pretend to be. At around $80 a night, you're getting solid value for your money, especially with how close it is to the theatre district. We'd absolutely stay here again next time Branson calls us back.

The check in process was lengthy Make sure that you advise you fill out a vehicle registration on line. My check in did not mention the vehicle registration and I received a violation for $75 for not registering my vehicle from a third party vendor. I stay at a lot of hotels and they always advise if a vehicle needs registration at check in and usually provide a marker to identify the vehicle. This turned a nice getaway into a bad experience. Bad way to run a resort

Staff ? Ozark friendly. Are they sincere? Don't know. They ARE all well trained…read more Rooms are tacky. Towels old. Frayed. It's an old school atrium type hotel with glass elevators. This design fell out of favor years ago but I love it. Nice water features inside. Parking? Worst system ever. Not worth explaining. Just a convoluted hassle. Not very "Ozark friendly" thats fer sure! I was exhausted after my 8 hr drive from Chicago and had to go BACK OUT across the vast parking lot in the pitch black Missouri darkness with a QR CODE card they gave me to pay for parking. Etc. AWFUL! "And if I don't?" "We'll give you an 80$ ticket." FAIL! Room was around 300$ for 2 nights. Parking EXTRA. (The parking cost this review 2 stars off.)

Especially enjoyed a couple of nights sitting on the upper level porch overlooking the downtown area and the walkable location to restaurants and shopping. The linens and towels were nice, but the mattress in our room has seen its better days. It was completely caved in along the edge where you sit to get into bed and in the middle and while comfy soft it was impossible to sleep on your stomach. After first night I asked if we could have another room or if perhaps the mattress could be flipped. They said another room was not open, so they would flip the mattress. This only brought a little relief as I still couldn't sleep on my stomach and now the mattress sloped from the middle to the pillow area, elevating from the middle of the bed to our feet. No idea how the other room mattresses were. If you are a side or back sleeper perhaps this would be no issue for you. We slept in the Notebook room.

I booked this room well over a month ago and requested a very clean and quiet area room on the 1st or top floor. They did not have either and put me on the 3rd floor. I checked in for a five-night stay. I woke up on the second morning with bedbug bites all over my upper body. I informed the front desk, and they checked the room and found an infestation behind my headboard. They moved us from room 310 to 424 and took one night's charge off our bill. I asked for and got an incident report from the front desk and filled it out. The following day, I went to get it signed and was very rudely helped(?) by the Assistant. Mgr. (Kimberly Dixon). She grabbed the form and scribbled on it so hard that it ripped the form, and she just tossed it back to me. I decided to cut our trip short and check out a day early. Now, after I got home, I checked my credit card account, and they charged another $219.20. I immediately called the hotel to see what the additional charge was for. The front desk person I talked to said she did not know and to call back the next day to speak with the manager. A few minutes later, she called me and said the charge was for damage to the headboard caused by rubbing alcohol. I called the assistant manager the next day, and she said the same thing. She said that I sprayed rubbing alcohol on the headboard, damaging it. I asked her how she knew I sprayed alcohol. At first, she said she had a video recording of it, and I asked her if the hotel was recording my room. I asked her multiple times if my room was recorded. Then she started to change her story, saying that the housekeeper watched me spray. No way that happened since I always have the do not disturb sign on the door. And then she changed her story yet again that the housekeeper said that the headboard did not have any spots on it. She then stated that there would be no refund of the $219.20 and then hung up the phone. I came face to face with the manager and other desk personnel daily, and no one bothered to ask how I was doing or if I needed additional care. I have never suffered from bedbugs in my life, but I am still suffering from the itching and inflammation with mentally and physically exhausted from the entire experience. This is absolutely unacceptable and will not pay the $219.20 without any proof.. I have suffered, and this has caused me to shorten/ruin my trip. The managers and front desk personnel are very unkind, rude, and unprofessional. The appearance of the hotel is below Hampton Inn's standards. Would put -Stars if I could.

I like fluffy pillows. The mattress made too much noise when I turnover... sounds like springs, like a trampoline. Mattress is wore out. Shower is decent, but needs to be updated... kinda beat inside. Service; the service I received at check in was quick and fast. Super friendly on the night shift. But in the morning, KIMBERLY D really helped me out when I needed to switch hotels from Branson, Missouri to Tulsa, Oklahoma. Since I'm staying here on personal time and on Hilton Honors points. She allowed me to cancel my 2nd night and refunded my points since I checked out before 11am. She helped me out big time and made my stay pleasant. The area is super nice and clean. Though this hotel needs some updating in the room... it's not too bad... but the customer service makes up for it. 5 stars for a mediocre room should say something... because KIMBERLY D is a true professional

Response from this was very quick though. - Mattreses (double Queen room) probably the worse we've encountered at any hotel. You could see the depression in the middle of the mattresses as soon as you entered the room. - Sink had a minor leak under the counter at the shutoff valves - Toilet flushed poorly. - Heard multiple horror stories from other gueasts. Showers that took 15 minutes or more to drain, also low water pressure mentioned. - We had end room on north side, and the music from the aquarium could be heard inside our room randomly all afternoon into the early evening. Stay away from end rooms facing that direction. - Breakfast was ok - we've better enjoyed other hotel's breakfasts. Exact same breakfast menu for the 2 days we went - no variety. On the positive - -Staff very nice and responsive. - Room was very clean, but the mattress issue was too much to overcome.

Off the main drag so one doesn't have to deal with all of THAT traffic. Easy access to a number of notable Branson tourist spots, such as Silver Dollar City, St. James Winery, Titanic Museum without having to get in the traffic mix. 5. Shower head in bathroom was awesome! 6. Pool table/game area was a nice addition for our 13 year old grandson. Bad: 1. Breakfast was AWFUL! We even arrived during the "green light" designation/early in the morning....and it was bad! No working waffle maker, limited cereal and fruit choices, powered eggs swimming in liquid. We travel all over the U.S. and have eaten at many a hotel breakfast. This was by farrrrrrrrrrrrrr the worst. We headed to Billy Gail's for breakfast during the rest of our stay. Thankfully, it was just over a half mile away. 2. THEE ELEVEATOR! Just from a safety standpoint....I am shocked that a hotel of this size can get away with only one elevator moving at a snail's pace. Add cleaning crews moving carts via the elevator, and you'll be lucky to fit another person or two into the moving albatross. I had just had knee surgery, so the stairs weren't an option...if you stay here, pack your patience with regards to the elevator. 3. This is an older hotel. It shows its wear and tear. A renovation is needed. 4. We were consistently promised that the gift shop could easily get us tickets WITHOUT advance notice. We repeatedly asked about our needs and were reassured it wasn't a big deal. The day we decided to go to the Titantic museum....we went to the gift shop to buy our tickets. They had apparently sold out of their "allotted tickets" for the day....and we were there during the week. THANKFULLY, we were able to walk up to the ticket counter, at the museum, and get tickets for the day...but, I wasn't happy about the whole experience. Weigh the good with the bad....I did research for MONTHS to find the perfect place for us and our grandson. I prioritized our needs and booked this place. IF I ever go back, with a grandkid, during the summer...this place would be a 50/50 for me.

I was so excited when I saw there was a water park with a wave pool attached to a hotel!…read more Well......it's not a hotel, it's a motel/inn. Yes yes, it's in the name itself,but somehow I did not see this or think anything of it since it's priced like a hotel. The room was small and did not have much to offer. Bathroom is tiny and there was a single sink.......two beds, 5 people, and 1 sink with enough room for two. It literally has a two sink sinktop but with only a single one cut out. . Beds are comfortable. The water park though! NOT ATTACHED. Just on the same property. You have to walk to the pool, water park, and other included activities. It's not a really long walk but it is an inconvenience. Water park: It wasn't bad. Water was colder than I thought it should've been. My kids were shivering lol. As was I. Then we went to the "fun place" down the road and played mini golf, go carts, games, and ate pizza. All of it was fun. The mini golf was black lit so it was a lot of fun. With me being Native American, I thought it was really cool they had a portion of art with natives. Obviously I took pics with them . Honestly, it's the motel that really threw me off. And the fact all these things aren't attached. Maybe I didn't read as well as I should have, but the photos are deceiving (not to say that's the intent). For the price I paid, I wouldn't expected a nicer room. I'm not too good for motels, nor do I have anything against them, but I prefer hotels and that's what I expected from the photos and explanation. They did provide all of the activities at the "fun place" which was nice. All in all, if it wasn't for the holiday package, with all the things included, I would've been incredibly disappointed. With that being said, that place wasn't my cup of tea, but if it is for you, I would recommend.
