Lodge Of The Ozarks

They have a nice reception area with spacious rooms. However I found the lighting in the room to be insufficient. And the bathroom door gets in your way when get in or out. So you have to maneuver yourself around it. Also I found the bathtub to be a little small though I’m a little person but I still couldn’t move freely. I couldn’t imagine how a big person would feel in there. Oh! And how can I forget the air conditioning made a roaring noise like a truck engine whenever it started. I don’t know how my husband slept through that noise but I had a tough time.

How about we get with the times and add another entrance that can be accessed after 11:00 p.m. Kinda sucks when you’re hauling in a ton of stuff and your placed at the very end of the hall. Honestly, at least one back entrance should be added for convenience and it certainly would suffice. Another point, you should really make it clear that you only give 2 complimentary breakfast vouchers per night stay. Instead your website only says free complimentary hot breakfast buffet not only 2 per stay and you pay for the rest of your party. Very misleading. People often base their hotel selection on the amenities and if you aren’t clear, you tend to disappoint your customers. So how about we be upfront with that from the beginning. We also booked a «premier room.» The mattresses were in no way «premier.» They were in comfortable and were so bouncy it felt like I was on a trampoline. Certainly not premier in my book, just a slightly bit bigger room and slightly nicer furniture. Overall, it was all misleading. I have been more impressed with other hotels in Branson that seemed lower end.

We checked into this hotel through price line. When we checked in we noticed the front check in employee looked worn down and was wearing an old looking wrinkled shirt. She did not look like she wanted to be there. When we got to the room it was outdated and smelled. The bed spread had at least 25 different stains on it and the pillows stunk and had grease stains on them. We called house keeping and house keeping explained to us that they don’t wash the bed spreads that often. Needless to say we checked out within 30 minutes of checking and drove an hour to find another hotel in Springfield. Do yourself a favor and don’t even waste your time or money checking into this dirty outdated hotel.

We had an extremely large group and they were accommodating to all of us running around, but that’s the extent of the pros for this establishment.
If you are okay with sleeping on the floor, then you’d be okay with this hotel. The beds are so hard that we all woke up with sore backs. The water pressure isn’t too bad like at other hotels, but the water would get really hot or cold randomly.
The cleaning staff was slightly sporadic, too. One day, We were out of our hotel room for 6 hours, and when we came back, one room had been cleaned, but not the one next door.
We had a lot of trouble with our doors working. The keys would suddenly stop working and we had maintenance look at the door several times.
They quoted us $ 70/​night, but when we checked in, the rate went up to $ 95/​night. Very unprofessional to raise a rate, especially by $ 25/​night. They also claim they have free wifi, but it doesn’t connect to any device.

The hotel looks promising when you drive up. The lobby looks nice.
However, once you step in the rooms you get a shock. The carpet needs major updating, the lighting is horrible and dark. It’s hard to see anything. There isn’t enough plug-​ins for the amount of electronics that people have now these days. The beds are horribly painful and the sheets need updating.
The bathroom I had was a jacuzzi tub and it’s nice.
I didn’t try the pool as it looked dirty. There is no frills or freebies here. You get watered down coffee in the morning. The AC/​Heat units don’t work like they should. Get units that have a constant fan on option.
If you check in here make sure to get a room away from the pool, no joining rooms, and away from main traffic areas. There are plenty of loud kids that will keep you awake.
The staff that I dealt with were pleasant. Except when the incompetent rude stupid general manager is around. He’s rude to his employees in front of guests. I wish I could have a few choice words to him. But he should learn to treat his employees with care.

While the rooms were excellent, the staff hepfull, the buffet was bad. Most of the time the dishes were dirty, hash browns cold, and the coffee was hard to get. I found water caffe had grease or was not cleaned. I think site needs to address cleaning of dishes. Also exercise equipment was in need of repair.

This place was probably real nice in the 90s, but it’s a dump now. It badly needs to be updated and shown some tlc. The bedspread was gross, there are stains everywhere, every piece of equipment in the gym is broken, and nothing looks very clean except for the lobby. Two stars for the staff being pretty friendly.

Very helpful staff. Great room very clean. Full breakfast little cramped serving line hard to navigate. Over all worth revisit.

Full disclosure, this was our first trip to Branson and we grabbed a deal via Groupon because the Lodge was close to White Waters and seemed like a great location, being as it was right on the strip.
Everything was pretty bare bones, on par with the cheaper chain hotels but without the national chain accountability. The exterior and lobby look promising but the rooms are definitely no frills. Semi-​working shower, no mini fridge, laughable 17″ TV and air-​conditioner that needed to be repeatedly rigged to work properly. To be fair, you don’t come to Branson to stay in your room but we never looked forward to coming back after a long day of tourist things. Beds were clean but uncomfortable, on-​site breakfast was disappointing and pool was dirty. Staff was mostly friendly but didn’t go out of their way for us (a request for extra towels was met with skepticism). All together we paid about $ 40/​night thanks to a Groupon deal so no complaints there. I wouldn’t pay full price though.

Old and dirty. Stains all over the room. Sheets are stained. This hotel needs to spend some money and spring for new carpet. WiFi is crap, its clearly undersized, so no one can use it, because its saturated. This is just a crap hole hotel.

This place, from the outside, looks like it should be one of the better hotels on the strip. Unfortuntely, looks can be decieving.
Best thing about it. Indoor pool.
Last time we stayed there, we had to switch rooms because of a water leak from above that had to been going on for sometime, because the little plastic thing on the door that list the rates and tells you your fire escape was filled with water and mold.
So they moved up to a room with a balcony overlooking the pool. What they didn’t tell us was that the thermostats to those rooms don’t work. Mind you this was in May and our room was a toasty 80 degrees all night, which meant we slept with the door propped open.
The resteraunt can’t seem to decide if it’s actual in business or not and the nightclub seems to go out of business every other week. One of the reasons we picked the place in the first place was it was supposed to be one of the few hotels that actual had a club attached to it, so we could enjoy a cocktail after a day of sightseeing (which is pretty damn hard to find in Branson). No such luck this time.
And by the way, why is it so hard to find a drink in Branson? I mean, I know it’s got that «family friendly» thing and every damn show up there has to have at least three gospel songs in it, but really? Surely I’m not the only one who would enjoy just listening to some music and having a beer.
I will relate a neat story about the Lodge. The night in question, we went down to the club, expecting to grab a drink. The door to the club was unlocked, so we went on in. Imagine our suprise to find the room dark, with just some service lights on. The room had been prepped for a high school prom for the next night. On the stage was a boombox that the workers had been listening to while working, with a microphone placed in front of the speaker, so it would feed through the PA.
Well, the radio was on, very softly and the music gently filled the room. Right next to it was a foot control for the lighting system. I clicked a couple of switches, turned on the mirrored ball and my wife and I shared a private prom all our own. It was pretty special and made up for all the other stuff.
