Radisson Branson

We made our reservations thru hotwire. It is listed as a 3 1/2 star hotel. The pool area is very small and they had 3 lounge chairs for the 500 rooms. The pool had a dirty line above the water and the concrete walls in the pool area are damaged from the chairs banging against it.

The room was fair, all the furniture was nicked or frayed, but the bed was clean and the bathroom though small was also clean. The hotel in general is worn and definitly not 3 1/2 stars, maybe 2 stars would be a better rating. If your looking for upscale and value look elsewhere.

We just returned from a 2 night stay at the Radisson and it was an average hotel. Nothing great, really. The pool was good but very crowded and the hot tub was too full to ever even get in it one time. Maybe they need a sign that says "20 min limit please" or something like that. The kids did enjoy the pool though and it is one of those indoor/outdoor combo pools where you swim under the wall to get outside. On the day we left, we ate breakfast in the Veterans Cafe downstairs and I was pretty disappointed in the food. Our bill was $17 and that was for 2 adults for breakfast and not including drinks....we just had water. The kids ate free. Thank goodness too or our bill would have been closer to $30. I probably wouldn't stay here again, there are too many other places to try.

We spent three nights here in Dec. and could not have asked for much better. The staff and accomodations were great. Would stay there again anytime.

I was sorely disappointed in this hotel. We stayed there because of the Radisson name and reputation. It was rated as a 3 1/2 star hotel. The worst was that there were BUGS in our room. Either cockroaches or large water bugs and there were several of them. The customer service was horrible. The woman I first spoke to was absolutely rude. She was very aggravated when we asked for a king size bed, but said that she had them available and that we could have a king size, but she never put that in our reservation. We ended up with the two double beds. The man that checked us in was so busy flirting with a guest while he was checking us in that he never looked at us. We spent as little time in our room as possible and discussed leaving although we had paid for our room on hotwire.com and the hotel room was non refundable, we were just too tired to leave. We will not ever stay there again and would never recommend the hotel to anyone.

My family stayed at the Radisson over the 4th of July weekend 2004. I booked through Hotwire so I thought I was getting a good deal when for $75/night (inc. tax & fees) I was led to believe that I was going to stay in an 3 1/2 star "Distinctive" hotel.

The Radisson in Branson was outdated and in serious need of a remodel and cleaning. I can't believe that the corporate office (Carlson Hospitality) lets this property remain a Radisson.

The beds were small and had very worn out springs. I also found hairs in our sheets when we first arrived. The bathroom tile was dirty and the bathtub was stained with dirt. The hallways were hot and didn't seem to have any airflow.

The indoor/outdoor pool was extremely small for a hotel of this size. With 500+ rooms I would expect a pool bigger than one that you would find in the backyard of a private home.

I killed two black bugs in my room (ROACHES?)and on our last day when we were checking under our beds for any items that our son might have rolled under there I found a 20 oz soda bottle that wasn't ours and had obviously been there for awhile.



If I hadn't prepaid through Hotwire, I would have immediately checked out of the Radisson and into a different hotel.

Based on my experience at the Radisson in Branson, I WILL NEVER STAY AT ANOTHER RADISSON!

The only positive was that The Grand Palace and the Lone Star steakhouse (which was very good) are within walking distance if you are in good health.

I assumed that it would be worth the extra $20 to upgrade from someplace like the Hampton Inn to the Radisson. Not so. This hotel was completely outdated. The hotel hadn't been remodeled in atleast two decades, the hotel restaurant was overpriced and overrated, and the rooms were ill-equipt. (A 20-inch TV? Come on!) On the positive side, the hotel employees were friendly and helpful. But in Branson, MO, hospitality is not difficult to come by.

Final thought: save the $20 by going to a cheaper hotel and spend it on a show.

My wife and I stayed there for our 26th wedding anniversary in Sep 03. I thought the Radisson name would equate to a very nice hotel especially for the price we paid. Extremely overpriced for the room we stayed in even with a military discount. I've seen better Motel 6 accomodations for much less than what they were giving us for the price. I'm also a AAA member and the AAA book advertised a free hot breakfast, in the restaurant downstairs within the hotel. All we had to do was show the hostess the ad. We went through the buffet and showed the hostess the ad. She said we couldn't use it since we had the military discount on the room. I told her it shouldn't matter since I was also a AAA member. Her boss then came and told me I had to pay for the breakfast. I did pay and quite frankly the meal itself was awful and over priced as well. This place was downstairs and right outside the door was their tribute to military men and women past and present, what a farce. I was extremely disappointed then thoroughly disgusted and asked to see the hotel manager. I complained and did get my money back for the meal but the point is they were more concerned at making a fast buck and could have cared less that I've served my country for well over 26 years and only asked to be treated with dignity and respect. I'll never stay there again. Tribute to miltary veterans my foot. What a joke and a facade they put on.

When you think Radisson, you think you are getting something better than what you get at this one. Small room, dinky, beat up 20 inch TV, no breakfast, small pool, one treadmill and two beat up stairmasters for the fitness room. We got three nights for free when we refinanced our house. We left at the end of our stay to find better accomodations for a cheaper price.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel about a year ago and discovered it wasn't worth the phone call I made to confirm the reservation. The hotel staff were rude and unwilling to correct problems they created. They refused to correct our order through room service because the cook didn't want to turn the burners on; that was just the beginning of our stay there. Because of my experience with this hotel I refuse to stay in another Radisson hotel!

Stayed at this hotel in October 2002,I think this is probably the best hotel in Branson.It's very central and it's worth paying a bit extra to stay on the concierge level and have limited drinks,snacks and breakfast in with the price.There is a great pool area and the rooms are huge.I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting high quality accommodation in a great location.It has a war veterans theme in the lower level bar which offers good food at a reasonable price.
