8/10 Good
"We traveled in August so the tourist season just ended. When I first got to the hotel I asked for a room with a view and she did just that. I booked through Expedia , we were supposed to receive free show tickets from the hotel but we didn’t. Also I didn’t query about it because we were not interested. The rooms look a little worn but we had no complaints. They don’t offer traditional housekeeping, however, you can phone the front desk 24/7 for whatever you need. There is one microwave on every floor in front the ice machine, however, there is none inside your room. The breakfast runs until 10am so you have plenty of time to get what you want. There is an indoor/ outdoor pool and jacuzzi on the property which we made use of. The hotel was busier on the weekend, we stayed Monday to Sunday. This was a family trip for us, 2 adults and 2 kids. Our overall experience was great and we would visit Branson again"
