I take my mother on an annual pre-Thanksgiving holiday and every year we have settled on this hotel. You can avoid all the traffic from its central location, avoid the noise of the "strip" and enjoy a nice-sized room with all the modern comforts of any updated hotel. The elevator is a great feature, as is the better than average breakfast! You won't regret staying here!

This place has all of the usual Holiday Inn Express amenities...nice showerhead, towels, sheets, breakfast, etc. The lady running the breakfast room goes above and beyond and works her tail off to keep things stocked. For a Branson hotel, things seemed very updated. Nice outdoor pool. For $5 a day, we had a refrigerator in the room which came in handy since we have a toddler who likes to eat at all hours. Location is fantastic...very convenient to the strip, but not on it, so that you don't have to deal with the traffic as much. I'm pretty picky about cleanliness...and I spotted a few small things here...there were hairs on the bathroom floor behind the door when we arrived and a small one clinging to the sheets (which were probably fresh). Otherwise, a nice stay.

We went at a down time for branson- February (before spring break to avoid lines since traveling with a 1 and 3 y.o). Only half the town was open, but we manage to find things to do with the kids. We were hoping for a real kid friendly hotel and complimentary breakfast. The hotel was under construction and it lacked personality (an almost depressing atmosphere but may be due to the time of the year.) There was a pool, hot tub, and treadmill room all of which were very small. Although it's not advertised, they do have games and vcr available (no movies). The front desk wasn't the friendliest but they weren't rude. Breakfast was okay depending on who cooked it (microwaved).
If you don't expect too much, it's okay. Although it wasn't a bad experience, I would try another hotel next time.

Very nice and clean. This hotel is a hidden gem. It's clean, nicely decorated, and offers nice amenities. Many of the rooms are recently updated with nicer linens. The continental breakfast is very nice and includes some non-customary continental breakfast items such as hard boiled eggs and biscuits and gravy. The breakfast room has been recently updated and is very clean and fresh. This hotel is located off of the the main strip (Hwy 76) but offers easy access to many destinations as it is on the "Yellow Route." For its market, this hotel gets high recommendations from me.
