• The price, the breakfast, the friendliness, the coziness of the outside with a heater.
• We liked everything, just wished that we would know for sure that we could get the Residence Inn when we make a bid.

“This is one of the best hotels. The price, cleanliness of the rooms and hotels were top notch. The staff to the cooks were great.”

• The room was bigger than I excepted, and was very nice.
• The floor boards were old and that made it noisy.

• Location.
• Bed was very uncomfortable. Not 3 star standard!

“The location of the hotel is great. The hotel is clean and staff is friendly. Our bed was very uncomfortable - not typical Marriott bedding. We didn't get any sleep as the bed made it impossible to sleep.”

• The breakfast was okay
• Just about everything

“The first evening we spent here was horrible, I didn't get any sleep due to the fact that the toilet ran all night, and there must have been a family of hippos above me. The next morning I noticed that there was cob webs in the light fixtures and the staff didn't get to them until the following day. The third day my 6 year old daughter had a huge spider bite on her back and and I found a spider under the dining table in our room and killed it, the I found another spider in a corner chowing on a large cricket and killed that one also. I told the hotel manager and her comment was "Geeze, you have had a rough stay here haven't you?"... Not once were we offered a different room! There was also a stray cat in the hotel parking lot that I complained about at the front desk and it was still there when we left for home.”

• I liked the cleanliness and comfort of the room. I also liked the price I paid!
• The swimming pool was very small and the layout of the breakfast dining area was cramped and not layed out very well.

“This hotel met my expectations. It was great for the money and perfect for our needs. My family and I were quite comfortable.”

• Breakfast buffet included with room rate and had full kitchen in room.
• Small pool and very crowded breakfast buffet.

“Hotel is clean and nice. Our room was a one bedroom suite and was comfortable and spacious for two adults and three small children. Suite included a full-size refrigerator, stove-top, dishwasher and microwave. This helped reduce food costs during vacation. The maid does the dishes for you during the day which was awesome! Rooms are clean and remodeled with nice couch and chairs. Couch was a pullout and both the couch and bed were comfortable. Some bedroom furniture was a little dated but in good condition. I would recommend for families or anyone who needs a hotel room for an extended period of time.”

• The hotel was very convenient and out of the main traffic. Kitchen, ice maker, breakfast & evening snacks made it family friendly.
• They seemed to have difficulty planning enough food for the number of hotel guests.

“This hotel was very clean and had several extra amenities than normal. A nice gas BBQ grill was provided for guests, outdoor park-like seating, basketball area, pool, etc. We extended our stay because it was such a nice hotel,there was so much to do in Branson, and we had such a GREAT price from Priceline!”

• The room exceeded my expectations by a long shot and loved the decorating choices.
• No complaints.

“It definitely exceeded my expectations. The room was decorated very modern with a lot of extras. We appreciated the popcorn and mints that were provided. The entire hotel was very clean and the staff was extra nice. The food was good and everything was very fresh. The carpet on the steps was a little worn and stained, but that can be expected with the amount of traffic it endures.”

• Roomy clean very nice and new, Located just off the strip so more private. Nice!
• More dining area for breakfast. We couldn't eat cause it was to crowded, so we didn't enjoy the free breakfast. We left and went to a restaurant.

“It was a very nice newer hotel, so it felt cleaner and was very family friendly. There is a center court with a basketball net, patio furniture, and grill. The indoor pool is large and appears clean. The room offered a pull out sofa, it was like a small studio apartment, so great for having kids there. The accessibility of having a mini kitchen in the room was awesome. Felt safe and because it was off the main Bronson strip you didn't have the traffic noise or a lot of hassle.”

• Nothing we did not like.

“This hotel was absolutely perfect. Clean, great TV, comfy bed. The kitchen was perfect if you wanted to cook a meal, had everything you would need including a dishwasher. Cleaning staff did an excellent job. We would love to stay at this hotel again.”

• Kitchen and sitting room.
• Parking lot was a little tight.

“It was a wonderful surprise to have a small home to go to instead of a cramped hotel room. The full complimentary breakfast was also an unexpected delight and added value. Very clean, great overall presentation.”

• Newly remodeled, fresh and clean rooms.

“This is a solid 3* hotel. I have been very disappointed with a lot 3 star hotels, with dated rooms, rickety elevators, terrible service, awful and/or very expensive parking, and it's usually all of the above. The Residence Inn in Branson is far nicer, cleaner and comfortable that the Radisson, where I was placed in the past as a 3*, to my huge disappointment. Radisson should be moved down a notch - there is no comparison between it, the Residence Inn, and the Hilton's that are 3*s. I would give 3.5 to the Hilton's, 3 to the Residence Inn, and 2 to the Radisson. Yet, I strongly prefer the RI over the Hilton's because there it free WiFi, easy, convenient parking, a nice free breakfast, good coffee 24/7, great maid service, and a homey atmosphere. The Residence Inn rooms are no more paneled white cabinets, etc. It is very modern (warm paint/color scheme, stainless appliances) and most anyone will love it!”

• Breakfast, each day had to wait for food, consistently running out and not watching to re-fill. then have to wait 15 minutes.

“Besides the breakfast, which consistently ran out of food, end up waiting for 15 minutes. Hotel was wonderful stay, employee's very polite, rooms clean. Would stay again for sure.”

• The room was wonderful. We had a separate bedroom and a FULL kitchen! Very stylish, no flower comforters and smoke filled rooms!
• The indoor pool had stains on the floor.

“I was very impressed with the room we had. The interior was very stylish and no ugly flower comforters. The sofa bed was just as comfortable as the queen bed we had. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the room and kitchen. The kitchen was well stocked with things to cook and clean with. The pool was questionable because of the stains on the floor of it but we can live with that. The staff was fairly nice but I had to ask a lot of questions to find out information about the hotel. I would stay at this hotel again; in fact I plan on it.”

• Location was great. The full breakfast was nice. No having to go out for a warm breakfast.
• The kids in the room next to us screaming and running in the halls at 1 am.

“We enjoyed our stay, except for the dance troupe that stayed near out room. They were up till 1 am most nights, and were terribly noisy, running in the halls and hollering outside out door. They did not stop even after the front desk spoke to the parents. Other than that, we enjoyed out stay!”

• I like that it was a suite and that it was located near the activities.
• There was generator that ran outside our window that ran all night and I could not sleep.

“If it were not for the generator or heat pump or something that was very noisy outside the bedroom window, the hotel was nice. I would not want to stay there again if my room would be located in the same part of the facility.”

• Convenient and friendly.
• All no smoking rooms.

“Very friendly, convenient, and clean. All hotels should at least have some rooms that are available to people who are addicted to nicotine. The breakfast selections could be improved. One other suggestion. For people traveling this area, the hotel should offer local state maps.”

• Nice surprise full kitchen, studio apts. weekday evening meals, comfortable bed, best provided breakfast we have had, employees very helpful.
• The furniture was not our taste; elevator was slow so used stairs frequently from 2nd floor which directly went to our car.

“Such a treat & surprise to have studio apt. The kitchen had full ref, dishwasher, and cookware & dinner ware. Coffee was furnished in lobby and room. Employees were very helpful and helped me with high speed internet access on my computer. The vanity was separated from shower & stool which made it handy. Breakfasts were full meal deal and very good. Evening meal provided during week. The elevator is slow so we used stairs most of time.”

• 2 distinct areas - bedroom & living/dining.
• Smell.

“Our room used to be a smoking room because it still smelled like an ash tray. My husband and I are both highly-sensitive to cigarette smoke and we both woke up pretty congested. Next time, I will ask specifically for a room that has never been a smoking room. Other than that and some outdated decor it was fine.”

• Wonderful hot breakfast buffet. Small evening meal was a definite plus.
• The hotel pool was extremely small- felt crowded with only 5 people. It was only 1/3 the size of the average hotel pool.

“We stayed in August. The hotel was very clean and staff was very friendly. All rooms have small kitchenettes with frig, microwave, and stove- very convenient. Rooms were well kept and clean, although a bit outdated. Bed was extremely comfortable. Temperature was at 100, and air worked very well and quietly. Breakfast buffet included hot items (make your own waffles, biscuits, gravy, sausage, eggs, etc) as well as typical continental items and was wonderful. During the week, hotel serves small meal from 5-7pm, such as sandwiches one day and grilled hamburgers another day- wonderful surprise! Only one complaint- the swimming pool was only 1/3 the size of most hotel pools and was too crowded with only 6 people to swim and enjoy. Pool only went to about 4 1/2 feet deep, also. We wanted to enjoy the pool (august- 100 degrees) and weren't able to. The pool is important to us (10 year old daughter), so because of that we would have to choose a different hotel next visit. Otherwise, it is an excellent place to stay.”

• Very spacious quarters.
• The Desk Clerk.

“The facilities were superb. The free breakfast was excellent. The drawback was the guest facilities book indicated that a credit card was optional. The desk clerk insisted on one for only one reason to cover damage to the room. That put the relationship on an adversial basis immediately. My wife and I were there for a quiet overnight stay. We had no intention and damage and certainly would not have seemed like someone who would be inflicting damage.”

• Continental breakfast was more, also had a "social hr" form 4-7 pm that was also a meal - cut a lot of costs.
• Water pressure on 3rd floor was suboptimal.

“I was totally satisfied with the 2 meals/day provided. The rooms were great. Had 2 TVS. A kitchen only minus the oven-but had 2 electric stove tops and microwave - full size fridge and dishwasher. The potty was contained in the shower area with a door that made getting ready outside with the sink and countertop very convenient. French doors separated the living area from the bedroom, therefore allowing the kids to stay in their area and us to stay in ours. The couch folded out to make a double bed. Free internet service was great and easily accessible. Indoor pool and Jacuzzi - loved by the kids. The hotel was on the "yellow route" in Branson which made it easy to get around the 76 traffic. Also, my sons love the 1/2 size basketball court. This is absolutely the best hotel I've ever stayed at. We loved it!”
