When I checked in I was charged 10 dollars more per night for my 2 kids because I forgot to "update" my reservation online for 3 people instead of 1. I had a room with 2 queen beds that slept 4. There was no need for that. I pulled up and checked the pricing for 3 people online and it was the same price i ALREADY paid but of course they needed to charge more. The towels were horrible some when attempting to use had hair on them. The rooms where "updated" with new beds so those weren't too bad but the sheets were stained bad so had to get them to change those. There was dirt and grime all over the walls, doors, the base boards were so caked with gunk. I went and bought sanitizing wipes and cleaned anything we would touch. I should of just canceled and lost the money tbh.... The morning we were checking out there were baby roaches. SMDH! I will NEVER in life stay at this place again and I go to Branson often. By far the worst place I have ever stayed. Disgusting. Breakfast... yeah don't waste your time on that either.

The room was great. Everything was clean and in order. The bed was very nice and the air temperature was excellent! The location is perfect; close to the Orpheum as well as the FedEx Forum. Our only complaint was the people next door were too loud between 2 and 3am and woke us up.
