The owners are super friendly and eager to provide you with a comfortable stay. The bathrooms are as original as they can make them, while addressing the need to be ADA compliant, and updated where necessary, and the furnishings are "period" from the 1950's or earlier. Please remember, this is a retro motel. There are no TV's, there is no pool, the is no "free breakfast". What you will get is a safe, clean comfortable room and a good night's sleep just like grandma and grandpa when they were traveling across country in their DeSoto. The 1930's-40's vintage sign is a work in progress, so despite what it says, there is no Color TV, there is however one concession they have allowed for; there is Wi-Fi.

My son and his family live here but they have pets I am allergic to so I always have to stay at the lake when I come. I gave Randles Court a try this past weekend with a last minute booking to come watch my grandaughter cheer and I am hooked! I am here again for another last minute booking with my next trip planned later this month. It's going to become my home away from home! The owners could not be nicer. The rooms are spotless and the bed... well I have to ask what brand mattress they buy because I NEED ONE AT HOME! It's walking distance to everything main street has to offer. #Homeawayfromhome

We enjoyed the indoor and outdoor water slides, something you won't find hardly ever. We played putt putt golf after. The entire perimeter of the property is dedicated to fun activities for kids. You can tell it is family owned and they take pride in it. From the fully stocked pool towels, the spotless rooms, the clean fresh scent everywhere, and the well maintained facilities and amenities - nothing here has been allowed to slide. Everything is open longer than other hotels, the service is fast and friendly, outside is well lit and spotless. Chain hotels around here charge more, and offer much less. I highly recommend!

Had a nice mini fridge, tv, coffee maker, a table to eat at, a desk, and in the bathroom they had makeup remover wipes to prevent people from ruining the nice white wash clothes. They also had the softest sheets I've ever seen at a hotel. This place is right on the water and across from a gas station and dollar general. It is 5-7 mins from Coconuts for your bar/partying needs. Very close to several small bars and restaurants. Great location. They have boats and kayaks to rent if you'd like! Also the woman at the desk offered to pick us up if we couldn't find a ride and drank too much. Which luckily we didn't need but I thought that was incredible customer service I never would've expected from a motel. Such a great place! Hope to be back

I didn't arrive at the Water's Edge Motel expecting a 5 star resort, but was looking for somewhere…read moreclose and convenient to our family summer home which was full of visitors during a family reunion weekend. I am not sure where to begin with this place. Unfortunately, we don't have any other options but to stay here when we are in town visiting family. The woman who runs this hotel is BEYOND rude! If there were any competition in this city she would be out of business. On a positive side, the grounds of the property are nicely groomed, nothing fancy but cute! They offer a few different rentals, BBQ pits, and a nice sun dock. The rooms themselves are fairly clean (beyond a few hairs) but again nothing special. Our room had a very musty smell, loud air-conditioner, lack of towels, low functioning shower, and to top it off a fly swatter hanging in the bathroom! Positives in the room were a fridge and a nice TV. The worst part about this location is the woman who runs it- absolutely rude, inconsiderate, and down right nasty! This motel certainly has potential to be a decent spot on the lake but certainly has a way to go!!!!

We stayed in July. The air conditioner is lackluster at best. Barely anything is coming out of it…read more When we complained to the staff, they said that all the air conditioners work that way, and that it has to be capped within a three or four degree working range of the ambient temperature, or the compressor will freeze. Which entirely obviates the entire point of the bloody air conditioner. So we are going to have a very hard time sleeping here tonight. Based on this experience alone, I am never ever considering a Super 8 ever again. The one thing that you can generally count on at a hotel, that there's going to be a nice cold air conditioner, does not exist here. If you can sleep in the mid-70s, congratulations. If you need it to be in the 60s, you are up a creek without a paddle and don't ever stay here. I am very glad that I brought a shop fan to blow on me so that I can attempt to get some sleep tonight. This is a basic amenity that they are half-assing, and the entire company should be ashamed of themselves. Also, if you are expecting a pool, please don't expect to use it for anything other than standing there. It closes at 9:00pm and is remarkably tiny, too small to even really swim laps. Imagine that you made enough mistaken choices in your life to wind up in Missouri. Now imagine that you also don't have proper air conditioning. The room is par for the course otherwise for hotels of this caliber, but the air conditioning thing is a bloody deal breaker. Don't stay here. This is bad enough that i keep legitimately considering driving another 8 hours back to Texas and it's already 10:00 p.m. ​​

Just the whole vibe of the place including the stuffy air inside just kind of put me off from the moment we stepped into the lobby. On the outside it appeared decent at most. The location is really what sold us since it's right next to the lake. The price of the rooms couldn't be beat but after arriving we could clearly see why. The hours for their restaurants and shops were weird. Everything was open for only a specific time. They had one restaurant that was basically only open for breakfast/brunch but closed around 3pm. Then their steak restaurant was open for dinner only. We had originally planned on trying the steak restaurant but after reading the reviews of the subpar food and service we decided to try somewhere else off of the hotel grounds. We arrived early and tried checking in but they're advised us that our rooms were not ready yet and they took down our names to give us a call when they were ready. We didn't mind that, we ended up walking around the hotel to see the resort. Honestly everything was just so outdated and it felt like a complete ghost town. The hotel is huge, I know they have way too many rooms that aren't being occupied. The resort feels like it was popular about two decades ago but now it's just sad. When we finally got to our rooms it was exactly what I expected at that point. Yes, it was larger than any other standard hotel room but that's really where the positives ended. I was honestly scared to walk on the carpet, it felt so old. Everything about the room screamed 70's. It's like they hadn't updated anything since the hotel originally opened. The bathroom was a bit questionable for cleanliness too. But our view from the room was nice! We had a partial view of the lake. The patio furniture consisted of two dirty plastic chairs. The way they have the patios set up is a bit suspicious too. The bars to the rooms next door are very wide so almost anyone can just walk onto your patio. I didn't like that aspect because of safety issues. If you're looking for a cheap place to stay in Lake Ozark then The Lodge of Four Seasons is it! Just be expected to be transported to the 70's and stay there until you check out.

We were taken back at first by the sleepy town and old hotel and my imagination went wild in all the best ways. But once you get to know the people and history, you find the heart of a town that is so warm, kind and real. We love the vibe of this Iron Horse Hotel. It's so charming, unique, historic and is a one-of-a-kind find. Nichole was so friendly and helpful and puts a lot of love and care into this hotel. It's not your typical hotel--it's truly a unique old-town experience. The ceilings are high, the furniture is antique and the details are divine. Other than an occasional train (which is part of the history) it's so quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed our stay and if we are ever in the area again, we'd definitely stay here! After having dinner with friends in Columbia, we came back expecting to just chill at the Iron Horse but stumbled across a fun group at Dapper Daq. We had so much fun with them! In the morning when we checked out, we visited Christina's for breakfast and she made a wonderful spread. We left Blackwater feeling like we escaped the rush of highways, business chains and everyday life. Disclosure: there is no tv or shower--only a claw-foot bathtub. There are no dinner restaurants or gas stations. None of this bothered us. It added to the whole experience! I treated myself to a long bath and enjoyed the quiet (no tv, no car traffic, etc).

I…read morehad stayed years ago when it was still PA, and honestly, I remember it being much nicer back then. Check-in went smooth. There were no working ice machines on the grounds (yes there are machines but there was no ice in said machines available to the guests), which isn't favorable. The front desk said it had been busy, which again I get, but you need to keep up with the demand. The workout room wasn't anything, and the indoor pool wasn't desirable. The room was your standard room. The others in our group had a much nicer room so I hope that the rest of the resort is trying to look the same. Please out window sheers behind the curtains so those who are in the rooms can open the curtains and not expose everything since it's all right there. The Encore pool was nice. For those who don't drink, being told you can't bring water into the pool isn't a good idea. When the pool is being used for the parties, yes I'd understand more but this was during the day. The security guard wouldn't stop staring either. I'm pretty sure we will be there again in a few months for the next conference so I hope updates are being made. Yes I wrote this a few months later as I'm getting caught up on reviews and yes I hope it's much better when and if the company picks here again for their conference.

Now I have to dispute the charge. Don't book on line. The room stunk, the door doesn't seal when fully shut. You can hear everyone around you because it's poorly insulated and just a dirty property. I would never stay again, very disappointing for the 1st time at Lake of the Ozarks.
