Ramada Limited Branson, Branson

We got to Branson as a late check in, which the hotel was informed about this. Our room was not ready as we were told it would be. We did not have the things in our room as we were told. The night person that was supposed to be at the desk was in the breakfast area with his girl friend, that I am glad my three children did not walk in with me. Our room was smoked filled as we requested a non-smoking room it seemed as that the smoke was coming from the vent in the bathroom that you had no control over but it made it for a not very nice smell. The faucet in the room was about to come out of the sink because the caulk was all pulled away. There were light bulbs that were out. Every morning when we left for the day , we left a note to the attendant that we be left five towels and wash cloths and every day we had to go get that extra one. The breakfast area was way too small and cramped. The microwave worked sometimes the milk was out as soon as two people poured themselves a glass and you had to wait for the guy to go fill it up. When the day came for us to check out, we were locked to this room because the person that I talked to on the phone did not put us in the computer right but gave us a conformation number and we did not want to lose the hundreds of dollars to move to another hotel if we could find one that is why you book in advance which I thought I did, they told us there was no refund, therefore for four days we stuck it out, but when it came the day for us to check out the doors were locked at 6:30 in the morning when we wanted to leave. We banged on them and they night person again did not want to open it up but I told him that we were checking out and could I get that receipt and he said no he could not give me that. I told him that I know with the mix up when got there that I should owe him for a roll away bed that we got later in the stay and he said oh yeh!! well we could have just left without paying but we did the right thing and got in to pay, then the desk person tells me I have to pay cash because he already rang up the bills for the night. Well about then I had about had it with this place but we were on our way to church then leaving to go back home ( about a 12 hour trip) so I paid him the cash said thank you and walked out. But just to let the rest of the people who might be thinking about staying there DON'T!!! You may want to have a better night stay than we had.

We were warned when we accepted the "No Smoking" room that a previous visitor had smoked in the bathroom. I did notice that the room did have a smoke detector installed although it also had two clean ashtrays near the sink. The coffee pot was half-full of coffee and basket still contained coffee grounds. There was a washrag on the shower nozzle where the previous visitor had placed it. Finally, there were areas around the beds that had not seen a vacuum in a while (bits of food and thread). The air conditioner really has to work hard because the filter is so badly clogged. Front desk service was excellent and efficient with our check-in. It went downhill after that! Not likely to stay there again or recommend it to others Room 213, 7/04 to 7/06

when we first arrived the air conditioning was froze up in our room, they moved us to another room , we stayed there 2 nights and the air froze up in that room also. There was ants coming in our room around the air condition, the room had a foul odor to it they said it had just been remodeled .I wonder why they had to remodel it ? It did not look like it had been remodeled.When we told them about the air conditioning they said it was because we had the air on high, of course we did it was the end of July and the first of August it was HOT! What did they expect us to do ? SWEAT! Needless to say we would never stay in a RAMADA LIMITED again!

This hotel was a pleasant surprise! We have been to Branson several times. This place was cheap, clean and the staff was great. We had a room overlooking the pool, which was very nice. They had various tickets for sale at the front desk at a discount, we got 2-day passes to Silver Dollar City for the price of a 1-day pass. If you are traveling to Branson be sure and visit the shopping area downtown on the river and eat at Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que, we ate there twice it was so good. In the center of this shopping area there is a light and fireworks show at 8:30 that is free and fantastic.
