Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites on the Strip - 76 Central in Branson, MO

This hotel is on the side of a hill. When you enter the lobby you are actually on the third floor. There are two floors below and one above the lobby. The hotel is an older hotel but it was clean. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful. The room was quiet and clean. Breakfast was you typical Holiday Inn express breakfast which was fine. I would stay here again.

This motel is right on the main street through the entertainment district in Branson. It is conveniently located close to numerous shows, restaurants and shopping. It is clean and comfortable. The staff is very friendly. I have stayed in this motel several times and it has always been a pleasant experience. I plan to stay there on my next trip to Branson.

We were very impressed with this Holiday Inn Express. It was decorated nicely, clean, had a great breakfast bar and super nice staff. The lobby was a great spot to hang around, watch TV, chat and chill out. Would definitely go back.

In the past I’ve tried staying at some of the cute, non-chain hotels in Branson and they have been less than desirable. So, when my daughter and I decided to make a last minute trip to Branson, I chose this Holiday Inn Express because I thought I knew what to expect and it was conveniently located. Online the rooms look like any other current Holiday Inn Express. Inside the halls are dark and dreary with the feel of a basement ( we were 2 floors down from the lobby)Our hall was heavily scented with vanilla, which smelled awful. When we arrived at our room the smell got worse—it smelled as if someone who had been backed up for weeks had gone to the bathroom in there. The carpets were stained with dark brown spots. The bathroom door was literally stapled together with foam bulging from the sides. The top bedding was stained. The bathroom was very small and cramped. The awful smell seemed to be coming from around the entry area and not the bathroom. You got a whiff every time you came and went. That is also where the majority of the brown stains were...hmmm. Even after cleaning what I could myself, I didn’t feel comfortable touching anything or laying anything down in the room. It just felt filthy. Also, the first morning the phone rang a single time, twice before 8 am waking us up!!! We had gone to sleep around 2:30 am, and got in late the night before, and that’s why I hadn’t asked to be moved. The second morning the phone rang once around 9:30 am. I was up that time, but it was still a nuisance! If they don’t plan to update the rooms, they could at least buy a new bathroom door and replace the disgusting carpet, which probably houses the odor! It’s not that difficult and would make the place feel cleaner! The only good thing I can say is the beds were comfortable and the sheets looked clean.

Room was very clean. The hotel is centrally located. Close to restuarants, shows and the outlet mall. The staff were great! Local newspaper was available in the morning. I would recommend this hotel traveling to Branson
