Great place to stay. I don't think anyone would be disappointed.
Pros:

Love the location, easy to get around. I know the short cuts to get to the shows that we like and to get the places we like to eat at. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Only one thing that I don't like is the parking on the hillside. I could always go around to the back and park and just use the elevator. Love the place and it's quite. Looked out the window early one morning and saw a deer standing looking on the ridge. A very pleasant sight.

Cons:

They do need to improve on the breakfast menu. Some fresh fruit or canned fruit would be nice.

A clean, affordable, and conveniently located budget stay that's perfect for a quick overnight stop
Pros:

We drove into Branson very late at night and didn’t check in until after midnight. The office staff was wonderful about reaching out to us well before the end of their shift to make sure we had everything we needed, since there wouldn't be anyone manning the front desk after a certain time. They gave us clear instructions and left a key for us in the drop box, which made the late-night check-in incredibly smooth. We really appreciated the heads-up and communication! We only planned to stay one night and get up early the next morning, so this hotel was exactly what we needed. It was cheap, clean, and perfect for a few short hours of sleep before getting back on the road. This is an older hotel that could use some updating, but the location is spectacular and we felt really safe in this area of town. We probably wouldn’t choose to stay here for a longer trip due to the minimal amenities, but for a budget-friendly stay of a night or two, it’s a great option. Overall, it worked perfectly for what we needed!

It was quiet, comfortable and very clean.
Pros:

The staff was nice. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. It was a lot quieter than most hotels. The location was perfect. The price was exceptional. We will stay here again.

Cons:

The only thing I didn't like was how little the bathroom counter was. But, it was manageable.

Pleasant and reasonable price.
Pros:

Everything was okay. Not exceptional but good for what we paid. We've stayed here many times. A few things need updated. Carpet and curtains need updating. Rooms are a little dark.

Cons:

The main thing is that the shutters are falling off the outside. It makes the hotel look upkept. They need to put them back up or remove them all and repaint. It has been this way for several years.

Pros:

Everything was pretty good

Cons:

The only complaint was you couldn't take any food from breakfast. I get it, but at the same time when you have kids that are tired and don't want to get up it would be nice if you can take them back a cinnamon roll

Pros:

N/A

Cons:

Pool was disgusting when I asked if it was going to be cleaned they said seems your not happy we will just refund your money and you can go somewhere else. I told them I wasnt comfortable trying to find another room in Branson, MO on a Saturday and I didnt want a refund at the time. They will not even respond to booking.com about my complaints.

Pros:

It was scenic like its name. Beds/rooms were comfortable.

Cons:

The toilets did not work correctly. We had to hold down the handle so it would flush appropriately. Also, the breakfast food was flavorless

Pros:

Nothing fancy, but everything you need! Great value if you are looking for a clean, comfortable stay. They have a quality hot breakfast, that they keep well stocked, even during the week days, a clean outdoor pool and a very friendly and helpful staff. Refrigerator in the room, but microwave is downstairs.

Cons:

It wasn't an issue for us, but could have been. Just be aware that they do not have a check in after 11. I received an email after we missed our projected check in time around 9pm that stated this. So if you travel late, be aware.

It was a nice place to stay off the main thoroughfare but still easily accessible.
