    World's smallest TV
    Kristen L.

    The stay was horrible. I sent the below review and after several phone calls to the hotel, MARIA told me she would refund me $50.00....what a joke. I have pictures of everything a sent it to management. They do not care. DO NOT spend your money at this AWARD WINNING hotel. We decided to come to Branson to celebrate our engagement and get away after my mother's passing. I called the hotel before arriving and asked multiple questions. We arrived early knowing there would be a $25.00 early check-in fee (this is what we were told on the phone). We checked in and were then notified the early check in would be a $50.00 fee...(different than what we were first told), we paid it since we had a long drive and wanted to relax for a little while. We walked in the room and the mildew smell was very off putting. We booked a room with a whirlpool tub so we could relax and enjoy some quiet time together. This whirlpool tub was filthy and the finish is peeling off. Filled the tub and white paint flakes were floating in the water. The room did not have a microwave, holes in the wall, finish peeling off the bathtub, the blow dryer did not work, the lock on the door was broken and not secure to the door frame, and the TV was the smallest I have ever seen in a hotel (thankfully I was not there to watch TV). The furniture in the hallways was very tacky. We did talk to the front desk multiple times and nothing was ever addressed. I have stayed in MANY hotels and this one was very unimpressive. Not very award winning and the pictures on your website are misleading. At check out, we mentioned these issues again and the gentleman at the front desk looked at me like I was an alien. When we finally arrived back home, I looked at my receipt and noticed a $30.00 resort fee we were never told about. We never used the pool, the hot tub and never ate the breakfast provided.

    Kathy and Lori checked us in. Lori and Breanna checked us out. They were all delightful ladies. Our room was perfect with a great view and a balcony. The air worked well, the water pressure was strong and the room was spacious. Most importantly, the beds were comfortable, providing a good nights rest. I find this to be true for all Choice Hotels. Finally, I believe this hotel was better now than it was 10 years ago. It has definitely been renovated. I recommend this Clarion Hotel whole heartedly.

    What a great hotel under a brand new ownership. He has completely turn this place around very clean, friendly walking distance to the aquarium Walmart local restaurants I highly recommend staying here..

    Nasty toilet

    My stay was horrible. The indoor pool and hot tub were out of commission and had been under renovations since July 2023 per the lady at the counter. The toilet was nasty, the carpet had stains, and the tub had drain issues. There was only lukewarm water to shower with, the pillows were small and flat, and the coil springs in the mattress could be felt poking into my body. The bathroom lighting was horrible for putting on makeup. The jacuzzi tub produced stones during use. I provided feedback as requested via email and received the following email from the hotel: "Denise, Sorry we wouldn't give you a free stay. Blasting us on the internet like an entitled child is a bit excessive and unnecessary. If you can't afford to stay somewhere then you shouldn't... You could have left at any time and chose to stay, enjoy our room, eat our breakfast and sleep on our beds. Good luck with your PLOY at the next property. Jeremiah" I could have left but would have still been charged for my stay. I never ate the breakfast because I don't eat breakfast. Do NOT stay here or you could be subject to the same harassment that I am from the hotel for leaving an honest review of your stay. I have reached out to Choice Hotels to share the email and the pics as proof of my complaints.

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.

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'll start with the room: The pillows were too flat and used for me. 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

I will say that the pork belly po' boy was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had in my life! I almost stayed in town longer on the second day just to order it again. The pork belly was smoky, tender, and sweet and paired so well with the grain mustard, pickled onions and arugula -- superb balance of flavors. My husband also noted the shrimp and grits was some of the best he's ever had. The shrimp and pork belly in the dish were perfectly cooked and the Cajun spices were well balanced.

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. .
