Fairfield Inn & Suites Branson

Decent room and easy checkin/​checkout. No issues and the breakfast was perfect! I would have liked to have directions that took me on the faster routes than on the Strip. I was using google maps instead.

Hotel is basic. The rooms are a little small, but okay just to sleep there. Beds were comfy but pillows were not! Convenient location. The pool was too small. Breakfast was good. Got $ 83 a night during 4^th of July weekend which was great. Not sure if you can even get that price anywhere there during that time. I made my reservation in February is why I got such a good rate! Reserve early if you are going on a holiday weekend!

Nice clean hotel for the most part. My only issues were the giant pillows that account for the crick in my neck today, and the fact that they do have a pantry, but for some reason, no beer. I’d pay 8 bucks for a cold beer when I get in late.
My wife pointed out clumps of hair in two of our three bathrooms that we had. Also, the Hallway and two of the rooms smelled a little musty/​moldy. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful

Can’t believe this has 3 stars. Hotel was so clean and nice! Extremely nice staff and rooms were comfortable. No, this isn’t a fancy place and the pool is dinky and indoors, but for what it IS, an economical average hotel. Excellent I’m that category.
Also I have to say the breakfast buffet was GOOD. Most hotels that offer breakfast are not worth mentioning. This one was good, moist muffins, and drinkable coffee. The ladies operating and filling buffet were falling over themselves to help. So pleasant!

Best Value in Branson!!!
Very friendly, close to everything, Walgreen’s next door. Remodeled and super clean everywhere. Free nice big breakfast. Sausage, eggs, belgium waffles, bread, pastries, yougart, cereal, milk, juice, fruit. Linda, hostess in breakfast remembered everyone and was helping people make waffles and kept breakfast well stocked!
We could not believe all this for only $ 69.00 a night! Room size was nice with microwave and frig! Would stay here again and recommend it for anyone!

I work in the industry thus am fussier than most… point taken when I walked in and promptly out of the residence inn in branson, which thankfully brought me here. The front desk was more than friendly and helpful, the entire hotel is clean, breakfast was great, attendant authentically enthusiastic and kind, the pool is warm and salt water! :) and the renovation is gorgeous. Even with all the competition, we will be back here for sure!

Yep, we loved staying here. Right off the strip and right in the middle of Branson. The rooms are all brand new.

The renovation of this property was well done. Everything looked new, modern, and fresh. Staff still very friendly and outgoing. Good breakfast except for the throngs of people who must never have stayed at a hotel before or eaten at a buffet for that matter — they lacked a little buffet ettiquite. My only complaint was the room itself. I believe it was 315. It was immediately next to the ice machine and the elevator. Noise from the ice machine kept us awake well into the late night hours.
I’m platinum elite at Marriott and was surprised to get that room. Seems like when I travel for business they’re a little more careful about where they assign my room — or maybe I’ve just been lucky until now. Anyhow, the front desk clerk threw a few points my way as an apology but quite frankly I think offering a free night at some point in the future would have been a more appropriate consolation to try and earn my repeat business. I guess they assume that if I’m a Marriott rewards guy I’ll come back nomatter what.

Very nice stay. I was really impressed as we made reservations online and there was a small text box where you can make a comment or special request, so I entered early check-​in because we were going to be arriving after having driven all night. Well, when we arrived I made a comment to the front desk person, Kimberly, and she said «yes, I read that and we took care of it for you». Cool.
The rooms are nice. The hotel looks as though it was updated recently.
The breakfast area was great and the woman working there did an amazing job of keeping it clean and stocked.

Previous reviews for Fairfield Inn are not nice, so I was worried about staying here. I did not need to worry. This hotel is great and we enjoyed our stay.
Check in was very friendly and we noticed right away that the lobby and surrounding area looked recently updated. Same thing with our room. It was really great. The first think I noticed was outlets everywhere. Cute, fresh room layout and design. Especially great layout if you are here for business. And everything here is new. I like new. Even the pool area and workout area are super clean. We stayed here two nights and really enjoyed our stay.
Another great thing about this hotel is the free breakfast bar. Lots of choices. There is cereal, (cold and hot) fruit, yogurt, fresh cooked eggs, sausage and hash browns. You can toast up your own English muffins, toast or bagels. Probably the biggest hit is the waffle maker. Everyone was lining up both mornings we were there waiting for their turn to make hot fresh waffles. For beverages, they have juices, milk and coffee.
All the employees here are super friendly and helpful. Very comfortable stay!

The staff is extremely nice, the WiFi is easy, the beds are comfy, and they showers have power.
At this writing they were remodeling the 2^nd floor and the breakfast room. We stayed in an updated room and the furnishings are nice. They did not have some convenience items like a luggage rack to set your suitcase. And there was only one chair in the room (desk chair).

Reading the other reviews I disagree. Is is a Fairfeld. Not a top of the line chain in their ownership.
We have two queen beds with five pillows each which I requested when making my reservation on the road by phone.
Access was good and there was plenty of parking in the rear for us. Maybe the two trailers were a bit much on a smaller property like this. However, in all my travels when you are in a big city with limited parking these problems always exist. I recently stayed at Marriott Key West and had to pay 17.50 plus tax. I am gold too. But, because I was gold I got bumped to a suite.
A great place to park is in the rear next to Walmart. They have a rear door. Just walk to the front and check in get your key and then take baggage in through rear door.
They have a small indoor pool with spa that is ample for a property this size.
The front desk clerk, Nick, was very cordial and helpful. Typical of a Marriott employee. I had trouble connecting with the Internet and he came up to our room and connected both of our computers as soon as he could get away. He answered all my questions that I had about the gold status. Very pleasant and helpful young man that needs to be recognized.
We had a great breakfast. All the coffee you could drink. Jimmy dean breakfast sandwiches, boiled eggs, four types of juice, biscuits and gravy, fruit, belgium waffles and so much more.
There is a desk with ample plugs beneath to plug computers and other items. Who would ever think we would have so many electronic devices. My friend who is with me has as many as I have and we are making out just fine. Just buy a plug with multiple plugs attached and put it in a brief case. It is needed today.
I did not have to pull the desk away from the wall. Just bend over and plug the cord in.
99.00 for two queens, a desk that sits two people, a coffee maker, ice buckets, plasma TV, large closet, ironing board, bureau and comfortable beds and pillows. Stay at Red Roof Inn and see what you get.
Please remember that this review is based on a comparison of other hotels in the same category. Not against a higher category Marriott, Gaylord etc.

Nowadays, almost all hotel rooms actually have a thermostat. But this Fairfield Inn location still has the 1970’s style setup where you have an AC/​heating unit next to the window, with a panel under which are the on/​off, hot/​cold switches. You turn on the AC and after 30 min you get up to adjust it because it’s too cold. 30 min later you get up to adjust it because now it’s too warm. After trying this for about a couple of hours, you can finally reach a tolerable level.
And the rooms are not set up for business in the 21^st century. Yes, there is free wifi, but there aren’t readily accessible outlets for your laptop and other equipment. You have to pull the desk or nightstand back from the wall to find a place to plug in.
Still, I give two stars because the front desk service was decent and the location is excellent, just a ½ block off the main strip in Branson.

I’ve been to quite a few Marriott properties (see the list of which this review is a member) but this is my first review for a Fairfield Inn. I have to say that I am not impressed. While I was the last guest to arrive for the night, I do have Platinum status with Marriott and I would have hoped to not have the room that is right next to the elevator. While I couldn’t hear the «bing» of it, I could feel some of the vibrations through the floor. There was some noise from the hallway and a good amount of noise through the window. The helicopter tour place isn’t far away so I could hear that go past every so often.
The parking lot was completely filled, which wasn’t helped by the two people who parked their trailers sideways to take up five spaces each. Fortunately, they have a thing worked out with the neighboring Walgreens.
The room was on the sparse side with a small table, a workdesk and chair and the two nightstands. The double bed was less than completely comfortable. Coffee maker of course, and shampoo/​conditioner in the bathroom, but the towels were small to medium sized.
On the plus side, the rate was okay ($ 99) and there was unlimited free wifi for two laptops and two iPhones (mine and my wife’s).
Would I stay here again? Probably not.
