We have stayed at the hotel in the past and loved it. Apparently the new owners have ran this place into the ground.
Where do I begin...
When we checked in there was a lady sitting behind the counter who did not speak to us but called someone who eventually came out to check us in. The lobby was just as unbearably hot as is what it was outside. We were early and asked to wait about 30 min before entering the room to ensure the floor was dry. (Completely understandable.) At this point we had high hopes for a clean and fresh smelling room; however, when we get to our room (after allowing floors to dry) we walked into a disgusting almost wet dog smelling room. We had to buy air freshener to make the room bearable. The AC in the room would only blow on medium which made the room slightly warmer than we would have liked. When we went to the bathroom there were long curly black hairs all over the floor, mold on the walls, and the pocket door didn't lock. We went to put our drinks in the fridge and found it completely frozen over. We checked with other members of our family who also had rooms here and found that to be true of their fridges as well. When we went to get ice an employee stood guard by the ice machine but we wouldn't of needed ice if the fridge wasn't froze over. The next day the ice machine was empty and you were instructed to go to the lobby and request ice from their pantry area. Again, we normally wouldn't have needed ice but when we can't cool our drinks with the fridge a family of 5 is going to use a lot of ice.
When it came time to get ready for bed we pulled the sheets back on both beds in the room and there were long black curly hairs all over the sheets along with large yellow pee stains. I had to go and request new sheets and when asked why they questioned whether the sheets had been like that when we arrived 3 hours earlier. And let's not even talk about the fact the hotel soap and shampoos had expired in February of this year. Probably not a huge deal except it speaks to the lack of attention to detail those running this place have. You couldn't even wash your face with the wash cloths provide as they were covered in red stains and you had to question if they were ever even washed.
And in the past when we stayed here they had conjoining rooms...when we called and asked about getting those for our stay this time we were told they did not have them. When informed we knew for a fact they did have them they changed the story to "oh well we can try to make that happen." Also the back door used to be secured and access only granted with a key card. This time it was duck taped open and any one could just waltz in. The property also had scattered beer cans and trash cans outside over flowing.
This was by far the worst hotel stay we have ever had and it's a shame because this used to be a great hotel to stay at.
The 1 star is simply because the building was there.
And for Red Roof Inn: I'm not interested in your standard automatic "oh I'm so sorry you didn't enjoy your stay" message. Instead of sending that and wasting all our time let's focus on bringing this hotel back to what it used to be. If you truly care about our lack of enjoyment DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! I can assure you a little bleach and elbow grease will go along way. Even in roach infested hotels--Noone ever complained of large pee stains on their sheets.
And to the owners of this hotel: I have pictures of the filth and I have pictures of the way the room was when we left. So don't come attacking me for my honest review.

Worst place ever !
It’s dirty they don’t refund for the remaining of your time if you’re not happy.
The positive reviews are fake or it’s from homeless people who was just glad to have a roof over their head because no person would give this filth a 5 star

You get what you pay for. The whole hotel including the rooms are hot. The beds are very stiff, reminds me of my basic training mattress. The staff is friendly though.

The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. The check in was easy and we were close to most of our shows. There was a hot breakfast with waffles, scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, sausage, as well as breads and cold cereal. They also have good coffee available 24/7.

I really liked the attention I received, from the moment I arrived until the day I left. Very friendly and helpful staff. The room was very clean and tidy, the breakfast was very good.
I liked everything very much, upon returning to BRANSON MISSOURI, the place I would choose to stay would be this again, Red Roof Inn Branson

The room was clean and really quiet. They let us have our small pet for no extra charge. The breakfast was very disappointing. There was no fruit and you could tell the gravy was not good and the scrambles were carboard. That was our only issue with the red roof inn.

Great staff, super friendly. The building is very well taken care of. The rooms are spacious and the beds were super comfortable. We stayed for nearly a week and I'm glad I stayed here. Hot breakfast every morning. Mind you it was sausage, eggs with biscuits and gravy, but no less delicious. A perfect way to start the day. Their showers were awesome, it's like a round pod you get in and the water pressure was phenomenal.Amazing job guys!Thank youNearby activities: Right off the main drag. Pretty much in the center of everything. Walking distance from the aquarium which we highly recommend.

Originally a two star review. I dropped them to one after they filed a complaint to retaliate for an honest review. :PPros: Full HBO package, pool, on site vending for snacks and drinks, 24 hour front desk, microwave breakfast and powdered eggs, Ice cold ac. Pet friendly hotel, no pet fees.Cons: There were earwigs and roaches in our room. The mattresses in our room had heavy damage on the side flipped down towards the box springs from being chewed on by large dogs. We kept sneezing from allergens of some kind, probably pet dander they failed to shampoo our of mattresses and pillows. One of the pillows was very worn out and flat. We did not use it. The sheets would not stay on the beds. The full time front desk lady that lives on site got after us about taking food to our room after we ate breakfast. She did not want us taking leftovers and told us so one morning before breakfast instead of saying good morning or anything. This place is not used to extended stay tourists. The eggs caused us recurring diarrhea throughout our stay and on one occasion the yogurt had gone bad. The toilet would rock back and forth when we used it. We kept having to get replacement keys at the front desk because the keys would often de-magnetize. The toilet became clogged during our stay. We bought our own plunger so we would not have to call management. There was a fight of some kind between a man and woman during our stay. Management had to ask the man to leave. Without fail, management or office staff would come out and swarm when we went to the pool. They are very aggressive about enforcing pool rules. A storm struck during the stay and somehow despite high wind we didn't lose power. The back window on the rear stairwell leaked and there was water damage over the 1st floor entry. Many of the rooms on the wind facing side of the building flooded due to intense wind driven rain into the ac units horizontally. Some guests had gallons of water flood their rooms. There was water damage on the ceiling in the first floor hallway and mold on some of the hallway ceiling tiles and drywall at the rear stairwell near the leak on the first story rear door access. A brick wall collapsed by the pool during the storm. A contractor was out the next day to replace the wall. They dumped the old cinder blocks by the dumpster and left them in a pile next to a grocery cart from Price Chopper. We were more than mildly irritated with the onsite lady who works the desk. She and the owner conversed about us once in a foreign language instead of resetting my keys immediately when I asked. That was frustrating. I was angry about the pettiness of staff at breakfast. The lady had glared at the kids for returning from the room to get syrup for waffles they brought back from breakfast. She thought we would not notice, but we did. When it was time to go, we left without stopping at the front desk and left our dresser drawers filled with laundry in our haste to leave. It was the most expensive place we had ever stayed. For a resort town, the service could've been much better. I would like to note that the hotel filed an official complaint with the third party booking service we used for this stay in order to try to get revenge on my family and I for our honest review. I took pictures and I have witnesses as to our experience. It was not a terrible stay but considering the price it left a lot to be desired. This is not the first time a hotel or business has tried to get even with me for an honest, unbiased review. I won't be swayed from telling the truth simply because you do not want to rectify conditions for your guests and provide a better experience. I leave the reviews I do to help other travelers avoid similar situations which they would find undesirable. If someone does not like the truth being out there, they should change the narrative by rectifying these situations in a way that provides a better guest experience. I am respectful, upstanding, and honest regardless of whether people like the truth or not. -Investigative JournalistRooms: Cold ac, grea
