Our anonymous reviewers stayed at hotels and condos in Branson, Kansas City, Saint Louis and Joplin. (For a comprehensive state directory, see Biz-stay.com Missouri Extended Stay.) In the review below, we provide unbiased ratings, room photos and rate information.   Branson   Falls Village Resort in Branson can be found on Biz-stay.com's Branson Suite Hotel page. It was reviewed in July 2007. Our one-bedroom condo with one king bed in the bedroom and a queen sofabed in the living room was booked online at a nightly rate of $124 (weekend). This vacation rental exceeded expectations for mid-priced condo resort. Decor: Very nicely decorated. Walls were painted instead of typical wallpaper. The bedding and sofa and chairs were typical of midscale hotels, but the rest of the furniture (table, chairs, dresser, end tables, etc.) was of high quality. Rating of 4 (on scale of 1 to 5). Lighting: Adequate in most places. Rating of 3. Comfort: Suite was very spacious (900 sqaure feet), plus a small balcony. Lots of room to move around. Kitchen had plenty of room for cooking. Lots of cupboards and counterspace. Bathroom was very large, with 2 vanities. Bedroom had a 2-person Jacuzzi tub. The condo had 2 TVs (52-inch TV in living room). The condo had a very homey touch to it. It was large enough for an extended stay without feeling cramped for space. Rating of 5. Upkeep: This was a very clean resort. Buildings were well kept and looked fairly new. Not much landscaping, but it was well maintained. Rating of 5. Service: The staff were very friendly and helpful. There were many times we were walking around the clubhouse and staff would just come over and start a conversation and see how we were doing. They were also very knowledgable about tBranson and were very helpful with finding places to go. Rating of 4. Breakfast: None Other: This resort had many amenities. There were 2 pools, indoor and outdoor. 2 hot tubs, indoor and outdoor. BBQ grills. Nice playground next to a basketball court so parents can watch kids while playing. There was a miniature golf course set up around the outdoor pool. Inside the clubhouse was a (very small) exercise room, sauna, showers, game room and computer with internet access, pool table, TV and games. It was a very family-friendly place, but not too crowded or noisy for couples. Living Room Bedroom (king bed & Jacuzzi) Bathroom   Joplin   Candlewood Suites - Joplin is affiliated with InterContinental, and can be found on Biz-stay.com's Joplin Suite Hotel page. It was reviewed in July 2006. Our studio apartment suite with one queen bed was booked online at a nightly rate of $76.50 (mid-week). This was a non-refundable advance purchase rate, guaranteed to be the lowest available. However, Candlewood Suites is an extended stay hotel chain, so travelers get much lower rates for longer stays. This hotel exceeded expectations for mid-priced extended stay chain. Decor: Simple cream colored walls with 2 prints above the bed. Rating of 4 (on scale of 1 to 5). Lighting: Great - both ceiling lights and lamps and a large window giving plenty of light during the day. Excellent lighting in the bathroom. Rating of 5. Comfort: The bed was firm. The chairs at the desk were very comfortable and the kitchen appliances were easy to use. Rating of 5. Upkeep: Very clean. Hotel was opened a few months before our visit, so everything was brand new. Rating of 5. Service: Excellent service. The front desk clerk was helpful and friendly. We forgot the receipt at check-out; we called them and they faxed it to us. Rating of 5. Breakfast: None Other: Kitchen had a full-size refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher. There was a 32" flat-screen TV with DVD/VCR combo.

It was reviewed in December 2006. Our room with one king bed was booked online at a nightly discount rate of $79 (weekend). This hotel met expectations for an upscale full-service hotel. Decor: Very nice, elegant decor. Beautiful bedding. Furniture was dark wood. The room all coordinated well. The carpet and wallpaper were typical for hotels. Rating of 4 (on scale of 1 to 5). Lighting: Room was quite dim, even with all the lights on. The bedside table lamps didn't provide enough light for reading. The desk table had a bright light and the bathroom was well lit.
