The manager was so nice. He shared their carrot cake with us for Thanksgiving. We don't care for carrot cake a lot, but this one was very good.

Room was very clean! We stay in 103 on July 11-13! Funny part of the stay was my partner had to put the microwave on the floor to plug it into the wall then had to unplug it to open it back up lol. Other than that it's was fun. Thanks to the housekeeping an front desk. Hope to come back soon !

Terrell at the front desk is the best and very helpful my daughter and I stayed here for her 19th birthday and he made sure we had the best time. Now my husband and I are here celebrating his birthday. And Terrell was here again. He is super friendly and I just wanted to give him a huge shout out for being accommodating with an amazing attitude. Thank you Terrell… Sincerely, The Kellims

Amenities were all good. Beds were comfy and no bugs. The specific room I was in the AC/Heat unit was loud and kinda squeaky and the fan option did not work, upon inspection it was full of dust and could really use a cleaning. I forgot my fan at home, wouldnt have even been an issue other wise. Friday breakfast was great, Saturday breakfast attendant was not on the ball so we opted to go dine elsewhere. The long term guest in property were so kind and the hotel was dog friendly with fair rates. I would stay here again, it wasnt bad.

I recently stayed at Econo Lodge Branson and was very pleased with my experience. The location is fantastic, with tons of activities nearby, making it convenient for exploring the area. The price was great, offering excellent value for the amenities provided. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The motel was clean and well-maintained, and the small breakfast bar was always well-stocked in the mornings. The beds were comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep, and the water pressure in the shower was excellent, with plenty of hot water available. The cable TV worked well, and it was convenient to have the ice machine and vending machine next to brochures for local attractions. The property was well-lit at night, which made me feel safe, and there were no issues with loitering or noise. Overall, Econo Lodge Branson was a pleasant surprise, and this is definitely where we'll stay if we come back. Highly recommended! P.s. there were issues with the pool but we simply walked next door.

This is going to be my go to hotel in the area until I find housing for my new job. I have stayed here twice so far. - Pet friendly with plenty of grass areas to take dogs for bathroom breaks - beds are comfortable and rooms have been clean - the parking lot is very well lit at night, which is a huge plus to me - the window shades are amazing and let no light in and offer 100% privacy - I have never had a shower heat up so fast…especially at a hotel - affordable This is my third hotel I have tried in the area and I am grateful I don’t have to keep trying. I found a keeper! Thank you!

This was my third or fourth stay here. I have always thought I was getting a great deal. The rooms are clean. The staff is nice. It's centrally located with shops and restaurants nearby. I will mention that if you are the kind of person who has an issue with dings, dents, a spot needing a little touch paint or some slightly dated piece of furniture, you'll probably not give the same review. There's a fine line between perfection and wanting a good deal. I'm the type who appreciates a deal.

You can’t be too picky when you pay low rates. Sometimes people don’t know how to really review properly. When I arrived I was already happy with my choice. Like set up, parking all the way around hotel. Nice small pool, I found the property overall very clean. Two ladies at front desk, very nice and helpful. Great about in n outs of the strip. Rooms were great, very clean, no funny smells like other hotels. Had a shower bathtub with great water pressure. We stayed for 4 nights and had great stay n time in Branson!! Breakfast is just biscuits n gravy, cereals, apples, very simple. I would definitely stay at this place again!!
