Birch Tree Vacations from $457

This is a motel type hotel not a 4 star by any means. It was clean though but for the price we paid we could have booked an actual 4-star. No elevator. It was clean. Bed was ok. AC made a creaking noise. Breakfast was not that good but I don't expect much from continental breakfast anyways. If I wanted to book a motel for half the price I would've given 5 stars in review, but I can't anymore because hotels.com mentions its a 4 star hotel whereas its really a well-kept motel.

My favorite hotel is turning into a cash cow. Pool area losing amenities it used to have. Lack of staff, some amenities shut down unexpectedly. There are some really friendly staff but they can only do so much. I felt they were also crying for help. Therefore, I have to assume is poor management. I booked through hotels.com and would not let me change booking so I would not book through hotels.com for this particular hotel. I would book directly. Hotels.com states that you can change booking but do not tell you "only under certain circumstances. Chateau also added $15-$20 mandatory nightly parking fees which Hotels.com did not list as a fee so that was a nice surprise. Beds super comfortable and food was really good.

Great place to stay for a few days to explore Branson. The pool was under renovation and even though the room was amazing.. it was missing a full mirror.. ladies need this.. Also the tub had a hose that leaked.. otherwise great area quiet and safe..

Room was extremely clean. All staff members were always cheerful and always able to solve anything I needed. Everyone went beyond to help. Special koodos to Kaleb.
