Hotels Near The Magic & Comedy of Taylor Reed in Branson

The shower was not clean and there was hair in the shower. The bathroom floor was dirty and needs to be scrubbed and the hair cleaned up in the corners. The first bed we rolled down had a very long black hair and also a pubic hair laying on top of the white sheet. If the sheets were changed from the previous patron, I don’t know how the housekeeping staff could have missed that, so I assume the previous Patron made the bed and house keeping never changed that bed. We checked the other bed and it appeared clean so we slept in that bed.

When staying in Branson you have many choices for lodging. Because of this there are wide ranges of quality. Most are either really nice or average. This one falls in the latter category. For an older motel the rooms are clean and refurbished. The air conditioner did a fantastic job. The bed was comfortable enough. The breakfast is ok, not great but not terrible either. The pool is really small. The door to the room was hard to get it to close, you really had to slam it. The key card took a little bit to unlock the door. The room had a mini-fridge but no microwave. The location is at the end of town but still able to walk to some places without problems. The front desk is not 24 hours. Plenty of good and bad so again,average.

I have been to Branson just a few time, mostly stay in a cheap hotel (nothing cheap there people) or on the lake. Splurged on a 2 day trip with hubby just to get away, so luckily I chose correctly with Chateau on the Lake. I have traveled the world, seen 35 countries and too many to count hotels as part of my career so I know a bit about these things. Hotel was spectacular in beauty, elegance, service, and location. We received an upgrade to room 838 King Size suite lakefront view. And the room was outstanding in size, comfort, and privacy. We could see the pool and lake from our room, watch the sunset while sipping wine. All resorts have a high tax rate in addition to hotel fees in Branson, just comes with a tourist town. This also has a $28 per night resort fee, so that adds to the rate by about $60 per night. Still, the cheap hotels are easily over $100, our rate was $180 (they offer military discount) plus the local taxes, etc. For what was a 10 on the scale, worth every dime we paid. Two pools, two spas (indoor and then outdoor), a sweet shop with lovely desserts and ice cream, drinks, and I found the breakfast adequate. The views spectacular. Service good even though they were busy. There is an entire spa in addition, it was romantic weekend so we stayed together but next trip will make it a girls weekend and enjoy that amenity. Just being there for the weekend without going elsewhere would be lovely, but of course you have all of Branson to enjoy with only a 10 minute drive. Newby staff at counter, misspoke to a new checkin while I was waiting for something. Newby didn't realize the pamphlets on local activities are in a nearby lounge so he misspoke and told the guy they didn't have any information on local restaurants or events (I tried to give the guy insight) so that needs fixed. But I recommended internet to the guy, older guy wasn't amused and didn't want to learn the ”technology” on well your loss lol My new favorite place to go, only few hours from our home in Arkansas.

We ran into a few issues. The first room no hot water. Then we moved to another room and the fridge was leaking water inside, It had to be defrosted before we could use it. Plus no indoor pool until halfway through our stay. Maintenance was right on the issues with the room. The pool was out of their control because they were waiting on an inspection for it. Even tho we had some issues. I would stay there again. The room was very clean and we had everything we needed.
