I'm a longtime Marriott loyalist, but this stay at the Marriott Vacation Club in Branson, Missouri,…read morewas one of the most frustrating experiences I've had with the brand. Short Version: If you are staying for a short time period avoid the "timeshare treatment" and fees. The housekeeping and room size won't make it an enjoyable experience. Book a true hotel that can help make your stay comfortable. I booked a smaller room directly through the Marriott website for a 3-night stay. Knowing the room type, I specifically called ahead to confirm we would receive daily housekeeping. The representative assured me we would get what they called a "daily tidy" service. After the first day, we returned to an untouched room. When I called the front desk on July 17, 2026, I was told they only offer every-other-day service and that the "daily tidy" description was "misleading" (their words). They clarified it was simply a limited clean every other day. At that point, it was too late to change anything, so we made do. The next day we returned around 3pm hoping to nap and shower before evening plans. The room was exactly as we had left it. At the front desk, staff explained they have until 4pm to service rooms and prioritize checkouts over stayovers. While I understand operational realities, I was surprised and frustrated that nothing had been done by mid-afternoon. The same associate I had spoken with the day before rolled her eyes at me, which only added to the poor experience. No one seemed to view this as an issue worth addressing. I asked if they could at least bring fresh towels to the door so we wouldn't have to vacate the room. Shortly after returning, we received multiple phone calls from the front desk and a housekeeper knocking--disrupting our attempt to rest. When the housekeeper arrived, she only had one towel initially. She later returned with towels but no hand towels or washcloths. By then it was too late for any meaningful tidy. The room also had a persistent musty smell, likely made worse by damp bath and beach towels hanging to dry. As non-timeshare guests, we expected standard Marriott service levels rather than reduced attention. We didn't stay long enough to use laundry facilities or most amenities, but the pools appeared well-maintained and the game room was clean. Unfortunately, those positives couldn't make up for the core failures in housekeeping and guest service. Over the past few years I've been shifting more toward Hilton properties, which have felt more dependable and consistent. Every time I give Marriott another chance, I end up disappointed. This was the lowest-bar experience I've had in a while: I simply wanted basic daily tidying and towel service so the room wouldn't smell musty. Even my younger children, who don't travel with us often and loved the big pool, thought the overall stay was disappointing. I waited for a manager follow-up or even a simple morning check-in from the front desk, but nothing happened. It seemed the 4pm deadline was all that mattered. I hope Marriott Vacation Club reviews these processes. Housekeeping communication and service standards need clear improvement to match the brand's reputation.

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 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.

BEDBUGS BEDBUGS BEDBUGS BEDBUGS BEDBUGS BEDBUGS This is the…read moreworst Hampton Inn I have ever stayed at, and I have been a Hilton member for over 20 years. 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.

We always recommend the hotel to others who ask us, even strangers, though we tongue-in-cheek say to please not try to reserve on a date we plan to go to avoid the hotel not having a room when we need it. :) Of course, joking aside, the hotel is wonderful. The personnel are phenomenal. We have had the blessing and opportunity to meet several of them and they all seem to genuinely care about the guest and the guest experience. Personnel to be expected could include John, Grace, TJ, and manager Steve are always making sure things are going properly. There are others who take care of their duties and guests but we have not learned their names. Making reservations is easy whether by the Choice Hotels website or by calling the hotel directly. The telephone on weekdays is usually answered by TJ who helpfully cares for the needs and preferences, and provide the best cost available based on the guest's possibilities. Even if TJ is not the person answering we hav found everyone to be helpful in requests. The hotel is always clean including the rooms, hallways, breakfast room, restrooms. There are four floors including the main floor. There is an elevator that has always operated properly when we have visits and is clean. Room service related to new towels and those necessary items are provided as requested. Christina manages the hospitality areas. You can request a regular full service and that is done at no additional cost. The other option is to indicate on a hanging card what and how many of various items (bath towels, hand towels, washcloth, hand soap, tp, facial tissues, etc.) and they place them all in a large plastic bag, tied, and placed outside the room door. You can place your used towels outside the room door and they quickly pick them up for your convenience. We have found this way to actually work out well as no need to fuss about the room as no one will be entering. Sound level is what would be expected in a hotel of this type. The rooms are pretty quiet. We don't normally hear anything except periodically when a family with running children come in and run down the halls, but that is usually only a few moments and then quiet again. This is especially good for those needing a quiet place to rest during the day, and for those who need to work in their room. The only thing I need to comment on, especially since I previously mentioned the family friendly nature of the canned soft drink machines in the building, the price has been raised to $2.00 per can, so not as family friendly as before though s nice variety is still available and convenient. The machines only take cash but the front desk can assist with that if needed. They also have a frozen product machine with items such as ice cream sandwiches and similar novelties for about $4.00 and $5.00 each. There is a free breakfast provided that includes items such as scrambled eggs, white gravy, biscuits, hard boiled eggs, cereals, waffles you make in the machine, bacon on some days while ham on other days, and many other items. There is pretty much something for everyone and cared for by breakfast manager Christine and her staff. There is a parcel of land right next to the hotel, about large enough for another building, but the hotel makes use of it like a park. There is a gravel walking track around the park. Inside the park are a few seating options as well as a horseshoe setup. Recently they installed a covered area and four picnic tables that makes a nice area for eating, relaxing, not normally found at a hotel. It is well cared for, along wth the inside needs of the buildiing by maintenance manager David. Parking is asphalt, well lit, very nice and feeling of security, and there always seems to be enough parking even when they are fully booked. If you have an electric vehicle, they do have three chargers available. On this particular visit, we found out something that may be useful for you to know. As I was checking in, TJ and David were talking about their anniversaries and then said they didn't to bother me with their anniversaries and I mention, well, interestingly it is our anniversary so I am in with the conversation. About an hour later we hears a know at the door and Christina was there holding a silver tray with a silver bucket filled with ice and a nice large bottle of sparkling cider. She said it as for our anniversary and, if they had known about it when we made our reservations, they usually decorate the room prior to arrival. So, if you are going to be at the hotel on your anniversary, and you want to enjoy some free sparkling cider and have a nicely decorated room, let them know when you make your reservation. We can't comment on what the decorations might be since they did not know in time to do our room but we are sure it would be nice based on Christina's detail attention.

Off the main drag so one doesn't have to deal with all of THAT traffic.

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.

The students are so interactive if you ask them questions and they also have the place they are from on their name tags which can be conversation starters. It does take them a little time to get through service so make sure you have a little time to wait. They serve 2 types of bread with bread service and 3 different butters alongside those. The apple butter was delicious. The first night I had the meatloaf which was very good. The second night I had their special for the night which was a stuffed chicken with spinach and cheese, vinegar potatoes and some mixed veggie side that was delicious. There is also a store area where you can buy student made items to take home with you. I wish we had a program like this near us because we would support it frequently.
