Pool's the only nice part

Our bed was clean, but our friend's was not. The breakfast was sparce. The faucet was not attached to the sink, and the chair did not look clean to sit in. Water sprayed from the shower handle and the shower in our friends' room was nothing more than a hose. We enjoyed the pool and our room smelled better than our friends' room. This looked like it was a wonderful place with lots of character under a previous management. There's potential here if they'll just clean and do some basic plumbing!

The pools were nice but crowded. There was mold in the bathroom over the shower. The parking lot had food wrappers, dirty diaper. It was a pet friendly hotel. We took our pet. There was really nowhere to walk her because there was glass in the grass area.

Decent Price

Rooms were a good size, staff was friendly, never had any personal issues. My issue was that we celebrated my birthday here (July 14) and I wanted to lay out by the pool and swim but they shut both pools down at the same time. Didn’t let us swim at all. Why shut down both if you have 2 and offer pools? We also had to sleep with the tv on every night because the outside noise was insanely loud throughout the night, and then on check out day, they sent me an automated text asking me when I was going to check out, so I selected 11am, then 30 mins later at 9am the staff comes by knocking on my door that had a do not disturb sign on it asking me when I was checking out. That was very irritating. But all in all, other than those things, it was a decent stay for the price and did have very friendly staff.

FLEAS!!

After checking in we went to our room. Immediately we smelled cigarette smoke. I stopped the worker who was outside and asked if we could move to another room, unfortunately there was nothing available so we stayed. After being in the room for 10 minutes my husband noticed there were TWO fleas on him. I was in the middle of changing my daughter on the bed, when I looked over I also saw a flea on the pillow. Of course we immediately got our belongings and I went to the front desk. The lady was very friendly and apologized. She told us we would get a full refund for the two days that we had booked. It has now been almost two weeks since and we have received nothing. I contacted hotels.com and they did not receive any refund on their end. When the representative contacted the hotel he said that they would not be refunding me for the two days but they can refund one day. I then called and spoke to the manager myself. He was super unprofessional, said I was a liar and hung up on me. We were in Branson on 4th of July weekend, so finding another hotel was a struggle! We had no reason to make up a lie and leave, knowing it would be hard if not impossible to find another place to stay.

Ok for the price

For the price it was not bad. The WiFi don’t work at all. That could have been cause we were in the very back of the hotel. Pools could use morning cleaning for sure. Vending machines took money but got nothing out of the machines. We never got the breakfast due to the long walk to the front. Every one said was not worth the walk up to the front for it. The rooms could be a bit cleaner.
