Thousand Hills Resort Hotel
The bed mattress I used needs to be replaced: there is a large urine stain and the bed is hard in one are, soft in another. Unfortunately, I did not get a good nights sleep. Carter, who worked the front desk in the evenings, was very nice and engaging.

University Plaza Hotel and Convention Center Springfield
Great location but the place is dated and needs some TLC. Lots of potential and not a bad place to stay but could be much better.

Make sure you know it’s $15 a day for parking. It’s just an outside ordinary parking lot.

Stonebridge Village Resort
This was a nice quiet stay with nice views. The bathroom could use brighter lighting and the deck and back door need some attention but this was a great stay and recommend for anyone wanting their own space to enjoy Branson.
