9.8/10 Exceptional! (111 reviews)

Overall was the best stay we have had with any one. The only downside would be no hot breakfast unless you went to the restaurant on location. Staff was great and so helpful when we needed anything for the room.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,558 reviews)

The hotel is conveniently located for my visit and was very clean. Unfortunately, we didn’t sleep well for a few reasons. The first reason was the size of the bed. We were in a handicap accessible standard room with a queen size bed. However, the bed was not a queen. I measured it to be sure and it was a full size. We were crammed. The second issue was with the blackout curtains. They don’t close all the way. The third was the noise. I’m not sure what/who was above us but they stomped constantly from 6:30am until ~9 or later. I took off a star for everything but the noise since that may have been outside of their control.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (400 reviews)

Great property! Your balcony view is directly on the water. This property offers a dock unused just for guests. I would bring your own raft or float to enjoy the water. The pools and hot tube area are nice, and offer grills for cooking in the pool area and another location. Check in was great except our room wasn’t ready until 5, the check in time was 4, however they made accommodations to us to offset the delay. It’s close to many fun things to do at the Lake of the Ozarks!! We will be back and will stay here again.
