The Chateau is a very nice looking hotel. From the outside structural details to the lobby's exquisite decor, the Chateau is one of the nicest looking hotels around. I wish the quality of service, comfort, and value matched the quality of the hotel's overall look. Unfortunately, it doesn't come close. First of all, the beds in the rooms are extremely uncomfortable. The rooms are nice and fairly large, but the beds were horrible. Next, the service is okay, but not great. There was a small crowd in the Sweet Shoppe for breakfast and it seemed that the employees were completely unprepared to serve customers. The food in the Sweet Shoppe is way overpriced. For example, a small box of cereal is $5 and a regular cup of coffee $3.50. There are no microwaves in the rooms, so it's difficult to bring food to make in your room. In addition, the service at the front desk is good, but not great. The people who check you in are accommodating, but not friendly. As far as the amenities go, the pool is nice and the hot tub is large. The fitness center is okay, but very small.
Overall, this hotel is gorgeous, but way overpriced. The location is okay depending on what you're looking for. It is secluded which is great if you want that. It's a good 10-15 minutes to the main drag in Branson and about 25 min (could be longer with traffic) to Branson Landing.
Room Tip: Ask for a room with a lake view and as high up as possible.

Dear Ryanpmoore24:
We certainly do appreciate your feedback and as always, we use the information received as either a training tool to improve our service levels or after careful consideration, to improve our product. I know that plush pillow top mattresses’ are for many, in today's world a mattress of choice. This will be something we will consider when our present mattresses are scheduled to be replaced.
I would have to agree with you that the Chateau is indeed a beautiful place and of course I am bias. As I tell my associates over and over again. It is the associates that will make the Chateau or any business for that matter, a great place.
Regards,
Stephen Marshall
