We just spent 3 nights at Mariott's Willow Ridge in Branson, Mo. With it being December, the…read moreoutdoor pools and such were not operational, and we did not make use of the indoor pool, so my review is not based on those things. Our room was on the fifth floor of building 2. There is an elevator so accessing the upper floors is easy. There were plenty of luggage carts available. Our "room" was a one bedroom apartment. Full kitchen (full size fridge/freezer, stove/oven, toaster, microwave, 12 cup coffee pot, double sink, dishwasher, pots/pans, plates, utensils, etc) A large dining table with seating for six. Living room with couch and chair and TV with Cable and several streaming apps that you can sign into with your own credentials (also a DVD player which we did not use.) The king size bed in the bedroom was very comfortable! Another TV in the bedroom. The bathroom was very nice. Typical hotel bathrooms have terrible lighting for applying make-up, but the lighting in this bathroom was very bright and they offered a magnifying mirror. The tub is comfortable and large for taking a relaxing bath! The shower operated very well, with a normal shower head plus a hand held shower wand. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash supplied. Lots of towels and washcloths. This place was super clean, extremely comfortable. If I had to find a negative, it would be that they charge $15/day for parking which seems ridiculous. We would definitely stay here again.

No Frills, No Complaints -- Perfect for a Branson Overnight…read more We were in town to catch "David" at the Sight & Sound Theatre (absolutely incredible, by the way), and all we really needed was a clean, affordable place to crash for the night. The Branson Ozarks Inn, now operating as a Days Inn by Wyndham, fit the bill perfectly. Location was a huge win -- the theatre was just a few blocks away, so we didn't have to deal with any hassle getting there. Check-in was quick and painless, and the front desk staff were friendly and welcoming right from the start. Is the place a little dated? Sure. But you can tell they're in the middle of making upgrades, and the effort shows. Our room was clean and comfortable, which is really all that matters for a one-night stay. We also appreciated the outdoor seating area -- a nice little touch for winding down after the show. This isn't a luxury resort and it doesn't pretend to be. At around $80 a night, you're getting solid value for your money, especially with how close it is to the theatre district. We'd absolutely stay here again next time Branson calls us back.

I booked this room well over a month ago and requested a very clean and quiet area room on the 1st or top floor. They did not have either and put me on the 3rd floor. I checked in for a five-night stay. I woke up on the second morning with bedbug bites all over my upper body. I informed the front desk, and they checked the room and found an infestation behind my headboard. They moved us from room 310 to 424 and took one night's charge off our bill. I asked for and got an incident report from the front desk and filled it out. The following day, I went to get it signed and was very rudely helped(?) by the Assistant. Mgr. (Kimberly Dixon). She grabbed the form and scribbled on it so hard that it ripped the form, and she just tossed it back to me. I decided to cut our trip short and check out a day early. Now, after I got home, I checked my credit card account, and they charged another $219.20. I immediately called the hotel to see what the additional charge was for. The front desk person I talked to said she did not know and to call back the next day to speak with the manager. A few minutes later, she called me and said the charge was for damage to the headboard caused by rubbing alcohol. I called the assistant manager the next day, and she said the same thing. She said that I sprayed rubbing alcohol on the headboard, damaging it. I asked her how she knew I sprayed alcohol. At first, she said she had a video recording of it, and I asked her if the hotel was recording my room. I asked her multiple times if my room was recorded. Then she started to change her story, saying that the housekeeper watched me spray. No way that happened since I always have the do not disturb sign on the door. And then she changed her story yet again that the housekeeper said that the headboard did not have any spots on it. She then stated that there would be no refund of the $219.20 and then hung up the phone. I came face to face with the manager and other desk personnel daily, and no one bothered to ask how I was doing or if I needed additional care. I have never suffered from bedbugs in my life, but I am still suffering from the itching and inflammation with mentally and physically exhausted from the entire experience. This is absolutely unacceptable and will not pay the $219.20 without any proof.. I have suffered, and this has caused me to shorten/ruin my trip. The managers and front desk personnel are very unkind, rude, and unprofessional. The appearance of the hotel is below Hampton Inn's standards. Would put -Stars if I could.

I like fluffy pillows. The mattress made too much noise when I turnover... sounds like springs, like a trampoline. Mattress is wore out. Shower is decent, but needs to be updated... kinda beat inside. Service; the service I received at check in was quick and fast. Super friendly on the night shift. But in the morning, KIMBERLY D really helped me out when I needed to switch hotels from Branson, Missouri to Tulsa, Oklahoma. Since I'm staying here on personal time and on Hilton Honors points. She allowed me to cancel my 2nd night and refunded my points since I checked out before 11am. She helped me out big time and made my stay pleasant. The area is super nice and clean. Though this hotel needs some updating in the room... it's not too bad... but the customer service makes up for it. 5 stars for a mediocre room should say something... because KIMBERLY D is a true professional

Especially enjoyed a couple of nights sitting on the upper level porch overlooking the downtown area and the walkable location to restaurants and shopping. The linens and towels were nice, but the mattress in our room has seen its better days. It was completely caved in along the edge where you sit to get into bed and in the middle and while comfy soft it was impossible to sleep on your stomach. After first night I asked if we could have another room or if perhaps the mattress could be flipped. They said another room was not open, so they would flip the mattress. This only brought a little relief as I still couldn't sleep on my stomach and now the mattress sloped from the middle to the pillow area, elevating from the middle of the bed to our feet. No idea how the other room mattresses were. If you are a side or back sleeper perhaps this would be no issue for you. We slept in the Notebook room.

The dining hall is beautifully adorned with cabin-esque motif and overlooks the campus and mountains. The menu has a great variety and notes items that are made by the students (e.g. butters and cakes). Their complimentary, fresh made bread basket with three types of butters was a fantastic start to the meal. We ordered the mushroom soup, the pork belly sandwich w/ fries, and the shrimp and grits. I will say that the pork belly po' boy was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had in my life! I almost stayed in town longer on the second day just to order it again. The pork belly was smoky, tender, and sweet and paired so well with the grain mustard, pickled onions and arugula -- superb balance of flavors. My husband also noted the shrimp and grits was some of the best he's ever had. The shrimp and pork belly in the dish were perfectly cooked and the Cajun spices were well balanced. And we have to tell you to try their fresh desserts. The brown butter chocolate cake was a special ending to the meal. This is an excellent stop and our student server provided excellent service - they're doing a great job there and is a highly recommended of ours during your stop during your visit to Branson.

We called Hilton Promenade and spoke with Heather H., and I cannot say how thankful we are for her! We wanted a washer and dryer and a little kitchen like an Airbnb would have, but I didn't have expectations of this at a hotel. After our call with Heather H. inquiring on availability, she had sent someone to make sure that the type of room we wanted was available, (we were happy just to have a bed at this point), and it even has a spa tub! The hotel has been remodeled with the nicest finishes, and has that extremely clean feeling that you want. The convenience of a kitchen and washer/dryer unit in the room we're staying in makes me never want to use AirBnB again! At 2am we rolled into the hotel and were greeted by Heather H., who went out of her way to help us get settled quickly (she even helped load the rolling cart!) You never see that type of customer service anymore. 15/10. I have nothing but positive things to say about our experience. We extended our one night stay to 3. Heather H. and Hilton Promenade made our trip from, you know, into a relaxing getaway seamlessly.
