4488dianapI have been to Branson just a few time, mostly stay in a cheap hotel (nothing cheap there people) or on the lake. Splurged on a 2 day trip with hubby just to get away, so luckily I chose correctly with Chateau on the Lake. I have traveled the world, seen 35 countries and too many to count hotels as part of my career so I know a bit about these things. Hotel was spectacular in beauty, elegance, service, and location. We received an upgrade to room 838 King Size suite lakefront view. And the room was outstanding in size, comfort, and privacy. We could see the pool and lake from our room, watch the sunset while sipping wine. All resorts have a high tax rate in addition to hotel fees in Branson, just comes with a tourist town. This also has a $28 per night resort fee, so that adds to the rate by about $60 per night. Still, the cheap hotels are easily over $100, our rate was $180 (they offer military discount) plus the local taxes, etc. For what was a 10 on the scale, worth every dime we paid. Two pools, two spas (indoor and then outdoor), a sweet shop with lovely desserts and ice cream, drinks, and I found the breakfast adequate. The views spectacular. Service good even though they were busy. There is an entire spa in addition, it was romantic weekend so we stayed together but next trip will make it a girls weekend and enjoy that amenity. Just being there for the weekend without going elsewhere would be lovely, but of course you have all of Branson to enjoy with only a 10 minute drive. Newby staff at counter, misspoke to a new checkin while I was waiting for something. Newby didn't realize the pamphlets on local activities are in a nearby lounge so he misspoke and told the guy they didn't have any information on local restaurants or events (I tried to give the guy insight) so that needs fixed. But I recommended internet to the guy, older guy wasn't amused and didn't want to learn the ”technology” on well your loss lol My new favorite place to go, only few hours from our home in Arkansas.
