We stayed at HomeStay last weekend. Was the best motel we have been in in a long time! Will sure stay again when we are in Branson!!

Wonderful to hear! Look forward to seeing you again and thank you for choosing HomeStay Inn!

Thinking of staying at the Econo Lodge next week. Our friend needs tix to SDC for two days. I guess the folks at the Econo Lodge can hook us up?

EDIT: I just called them. Rick was really nice.

They have make your own waffles. I'm sold. That's all I need.

However, they don't have deals on tix to SDC. That's no big deal for me and my family (we have season passes). But our friend has to find tix for a couple of days. Any ideas?

Those blasted BAF tix we have are only for 6 PM and after. That won't work.

Just as a note, we have the 2-day tickets here at HomeStay but they have made it more difficult to keep on hand this year. They used to deliver daily if needed and now we have to go to and pickup. Can only do twice a week so if we should not have enough on hand....call All Access Branson (417) 332-2121 or the website www.allaccessbranson.com and they will deliver to the hotel (either Econo or HomeStay). If you order before you come, they will bring to us so you have the day you check in. Same price either way!

When we made the reservations for our stay I had informed them that we would be there "after" midnight. The receptionist said that would be fine just ring the bell. We arrived at 12:48 a.m., we rang the bell at least 2 times and had to call the number on the door to get someone to answer. By the time we got inside it was 12:55 and the attendant had informed us that if we had been any later we would not have had a room (she was very rude). We were on the third floor which was okay except she had given us directions to enter on the wrong side of the building adding more distance to get to our room. When we walked in our room there was a large stain in the middle of the floor. In the bathroom there was stains all over the walls. When we went to bed we noticed blood stains on the comforter and the box springs was so rotted that it was very noticeable and nasty. The breakfast was nice for continental nice fresh waffles was a nice touch. The only complaint that I have is that with my young children standing beside me waiting for our waffles one of the employees was speaking to another employee using fowl language. After staying at the Homestay Inn for two days we decided to leave and try a different hotel, Southern Oaks in fact, for our third night stay in Branson.Which was a much friendlier and cleaner environment it was just two hotels down. If you are reading this do not stay at the Homestay Inn. It has dirty rooms and unprofessional employees.

Sorry to hear your stay at Homestay Inn was not up to par with the last 12 pages of extreamly high reviews.
Sounds like you got the short end of the stick on that one. I'm sure Paige will be responding to your review. She wants to make sure all her guest have a pleasant stay.

sanddunerider · July 31, 2012, 03:38:05 PM

Casper, sounds like a bad deal.. I am completely surprised at that report.

I have been staying there for 3 summers and have the highest regard for the motel and management staff.. Likewise there has been severla others stay there for the last 2 seasons with no complaints.. \

i would have never worked as hard as I did to hook SDCFans up with Homestay, IF i had not been 100% sure of the rooms and service. So I offer my personal apology.

I hope the rest of your trip was more positve and you all had a great weekend!

I am sure Paige will be in contact with to find out details....

Casper, see that you are new and want to welcome you to the site!

In reading your post, I do apologize that you did not enjoy your stay here on for the 2 nights you reserved on 07/20. I do remember you letting us know you would be here around midnight and at about 12:15, went ahead and settled down for the night hoping you would still arrive. I apologize it took me a few minutes to get down to the office to get you checked in, and if in anyway I offended you about giving away your room. I truly apologize, I was kidding/joking about almost giving your room away and we laughed some about this if I remember correctly. We have been wonderfully busy this year but have never given any rooms away for guests that are booked here no matter what time they check-in. We have not had any complaints from any other guests that have stayed in the same room you were in, that does not mean that our staff may had missed something. If notified of what you found once you checked in, we could have moved you to another room and/or resolved the issues immediately. I will review your post with my staff including the experience during breakfast. I want you to know that your feedback is important to us and not taken lightly. I hope you will consider this next time you visit Branson and give us another try.

12 pages of reviews can't all be incorrect. My dad has got to be the pickiest person in the world when it comes to finding a clean, comfortable hotel room at a decent price. I cannot count the number of hotels he has had us stay in in the last 28 years trying to find the best hotel room. He will not stay anywhere but Homestay in Branson now. We have never had a bad experience at Homestay and will continue to stay there each time we go to Branson.

At Homestay Inn we have always had clean rooms, friendly help and the FOUL language you speak of has been non-existent in our presence. The owner has been friendly, joking, laughing and respectful. I have recommended HOMESTAY INN for 2 years. Every single friend that has stayed continues to use Homestay Inn on a regular basis.

busymom4kc · August 01, 2012, 11:37:31 AM

Just booked a room at the Homestay Inn for tomorrow night. Very excited b/c I got our preferred room. Yes, it's true, we have a preferred room.

LOL Looking forward to a different time in Branson. We are going to do a "junking" trip. We'll run into "the City"of course. That is always a given.

cheesehead57 · August 01, 2012, 02:50:22 PM

We have stayed at Homestay for 3 years now and have always had a great stay. The room was always clean and the staff(especially Paige and Cherie) were gracious and great to talk to. We have a preferred room and always get it each time we stay.
Oh Paige, Bob's new hip is doing great....he still uses his cane to walk uphill or on uneven ground. He sees his surgeon on Augist 7 for new X-Rays and to see if his restrictions will change. Hope to see you again this Fall....depends on finances.

Great to hear about Bob! I knew this surgery would not hinder him too much. Just as long as he doesn't over do it...tell him I said that too.

Would love to see you again this year if possible for ya, take care of yourselves and keep me posted on Bob's check up!

Glad to see you again! We do have quite a few of you that have "preferred" rooms and as you know do everything we can to assist. Hope you have some fun finds on the "junking"!
