Hotels near Mickey Gilley Grand Shanghai Theatre, Branson

Lodge of the Ozarks was an excellent choice for our first trip to Branson. We would definitely choose to stay here in the future. Clean, comfortable, and beautiful accommodations. Loved the huge, clean, doorless shower. Thoroughly enjoyed the various common areas to sit and relax, both indoor with fireplaces and outdoors with tables for your drinks. Never made it to the pool but it was extremely inviting as it's a focal point while walking down the halls on any floor. As others have said, the free buffet breakfast was very good, with many food choices, and an excellent layout to accommodate the crowds. Our stay was during the week so the lines were short and tables were always clean and available. The service was also excellent starting with checkin and throughout our entire stay, providing anything we asked for. Don't hesitate to book this hotel!

I have been to Branson just a few time, mostly stay in a cheap hotel (nothing cheap there people) or on the lake. Splurged on a 2 day trip with hubby just to get away, so luckily I chose correctly with Chateau on the Lake. I have traveled the world, seen 35 countries and too many to count hotels as part of my career so I know a bit about these things. Hotel was spectacular in beauty, elegance, service, and location. We received an upgrade to room 838 King Size suite lakefront view. And the room was outstanding in size, comfort, and privacy. We could see the pool and lake from our room, watch the sunset while sipping wine. All resorts have a high tax rate in addition to hotel fees in Branson, just comes with a tourist town. This also has a $28 per night resort fee, so that adds to the rate by about $60 per night. Still, the cheap hotels are easily over $100, our rate was $180 (they offer military discount) plus the local taxes, etc. For what was a 10 on the scale, worth every dime we paid. Two pools, two spas (indoor and then outdoor), a sweet shop with lovely desserts and ice cream, drinks, and I found the breakfast adequate. The views spectacular. Service good even though they were busy. There is an entire spa in addition, it was romantic weekend so we stayed together but next trip will make it a girls weekend and enjoy that amenity. Just being there for the weekend without going elsewhere would be lovely, but of course you have all of Branson to enjoy with only a 10 minute drive. Newby staff at counter, misspoke to a new checkin while I was waiting for something. Newby didn't realize the pamphlets on local activities are in a nearby lounge so he misspoke and told the guy they didn't have any information on local restaurants or events (I tried to give the guy insight) so that needs fixed. But I recommended internet to the guy, older guy wasn't amused and didn't want to learn the ”technology” on well your loss lol My new favorite place to go, only few hours from our home in Arkansas.

We ran into a few issues. The first room no hot water. Then we moved to another room and the fridge was leaking water inside, It had to be defrosted before we could use it. Plus no indoor pool until halfway through our stay. Maintenance was right on the issues with the room. The pool was out of their control because they were waiting on an inspection for it. Even tho we had some issues. I would stay there again. The room was very clean and we had everything we needed.

Front desk crew was very nice. Room is clean and spacious. We stayed there last year and loved it, so we came back again this year. Really love the benefits of having a kitchen. Pool is nice, but always crowded, so don’t expect too much on that.
