“Terrible Room”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This is our 3rd time to visit and possibly the last. The beds were terrible and so hard it would have been more comfortable sleeping on the floor. The carpet is outdated and coming unraveled. Super thin walls. We could hear our neighbor like he was in the same room with us. The only good part of this stay was the ice maker in our section was working so we didn't have to go to the lobby to get ice. Needs to do major updates with paint and carpet to compete with the other hotels in the area or you may loose alot of business.

“No room at the Inn”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

people found this review helpful

Amenities were in state of repair. If you just stay in your room all will be fine. We slept well although the noise from our neighbors children running the hallways easily echoed through our room. Sheets were clean and good water pressure. We were in company of loved ones so we had a great time. I wont be staying here again.

“Only one working ice machine?”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

My wife and I recently did a "Time Share" trip to Branson. The motel they put us in was the Howard Johnson's. Even though this is an older motel chain, the literature said that this motel had recently been refurbished. So I thought "Okay, we'll do it." If you know anything at all about Branson MO you know that it has very steep hills. Well, this motel is on the side of a mountain. The front desk is on the top and our room was below at a 50 degree plus decline. STEEP STEEP (Check in was after 3 p.m.) We checked in around 4 p.m. and found that they were still cleaning our room. We finally got into our room around 4:30 p.m. The room was clean and nice. The mattresses were very soft. I went to get ice and found out that the only ice machine was up the hill at the front desk. BUMMER. They said that we could get ice there.

In the morning we went to take a shower and the adjustment handle came off while I was in the shower. We also found ants swarming in the bathroom sink.

We went to the front desk building for the free contential breakfast. It was good but boiled eggs instead of scrambled eggs. White gravy and biscuits, coffee, hot choclate, organge or apple juice, milk, three different cereals, donuts, and hot waffels (sp) with syrup. The lady in charge of the breakfast area is very nice and friendly.

When we were leaving, I heard someone tell the front desk people that their phone was still not working and that they had reported it two days ago. I also found out that the maintance people are spread pretty thin because they also work at the Day's Inn.

Bottom line: personnel are nice and friendly but there is a limit to what they can do. Rooms are clean and quiet. If something is broke, it is not going to get fixed.

Room Tip: Go somewhere else if you have a choice.

“Would stay again”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 October 2011

I was anxious after reading the reviews. We are staying a total of three nights. So far, we have enjoyed our stay here. The rooms are older but well kept and clean. (and im a germaphobe) For the price, you cant beat it. I would stay here again and bring my family next time. My 6 yo would love it here. The staff are friendly and helpful. Very good continental breakfast. Great location. Great price. What more could you ask for? Thanks for a great time in branson hojo ;)

“Don't Even Think About Staying Here”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed here one night and never again. The room was way out dated. The beds were hard and we had a 19 inch tv looked like it was from the 80's. We only got a few channels and some of them buzzed so bad couldn't watch them. We complained about the tv and nothing was done. The walls are so thin we could hear the people next door as if they were in the same room with us. When we went to bed we could hear the person next door snoring had to turn our air conditioner fan on high and could still hear them snoring. We complained at the desk about us hearing the people talking and snoring and the clerk acted like we have never heard this before. According to the reviews I have read she didn't tell the truth i seen a lot of people complaining about thin walls.
