Great when traveling with pets

Hotel being remodeled Room was very clean. Bathroom could use good scrubbing in corners and top of baseboards. The internet was touch and go but the staff of this hotel more than made up for this. If traveling with a small dog this is a great place. We will stay again since we come to Branson 2 to 3 times a year

The room had an awful smell the bedspread had big stains on it the shower was dingy and not very cleanUpon entering the room, a pungent odor immediately permeated the air. The unpleasant scent suggested a lack of proper ventilation and cleaning. Further inspection revealed a bedspread marred by prominent stains. These noticeable blemishes detracted significantly from the room's overall appearance. Immediate attention is required to address these hygiene and aesthetic concerns.

There is a sign out front of the hotel that says its the southern oaks inn. There is a small sign below that says howard johnsons. Made it very diffulcult to locate it. Breakfast was a joke. Cold eggs and sausage, oatmeal, bagels, apples or waffels. No bread for toast. Employee got irate with me when i asked where the bread was. Next day same employee got snarky with me when i asked if threre was a mop to clean up the coffee i spilled on the floor. Said she didnt know where they kept the mop and she would look for it later. This was a safety violation and someone could have fallen .

Great experience

Check in was fast and easy. The workers at the front desk were so kind and helpful. They provided clear instructions of where our room was and gave times for the indoor pool. I did not get breakfast so I cant give an opinion. The hotel is a little older but in great condition. I almost passed up the location bc they are newly owned by Wyndham so the sign is not as big or noticeable. The rooms were clean, there was a few strains of hair where maybe the cleaning crew didnt have their hair pinned back but im a perosn that brings their own cleaning supplies and sanitize my room beforehand anyway. Pillow cases were clean. The air worked perfectly, i had to turn it up bc it had gotten a bit too cold in the room. The patio door worked and it was nice to sit out, wasnt much of a view since my room was in the back of the building but still nice nevertheless. The pool was operable and not crowded. It was clean and had no issues. We were given an access code to the door to get in our room building but i can tell it was newly installed so it was not yet set up or working but the area was safe so there was no fear or worries. Overall a decent hotel for an affordable price. Would consider this hotel again when visiting Branson!
