I have to say that I was very surprised by this hotel. I am not particularly fond of the Baymont Inn and Suites chain but all of the other ones I have ever stayed in were at least tolerable. This was the most disgusting hotel that I have ever stayed in ever. They were extremely high priced and since everything was booked due to this being a spur of the moment trip I figured it would be a nice play to stay, boy was I wrong.

It would be easier to list what I liked about the hotel than what I didn’t like. The staff was pleasant but that didn’t make up for all of the things that were crappy such as no Internet for the entire stay, broken ice machine, the vending machine gave the wrong snacks so basically I lost my money, and the pool water was discolored. We had a long flight so I was looking forward to taking a nice hot shower but that didn’t happen since the water pressure is almost like a drip and the hot water lasted for about 2 minutes before it turned into a luke warm bath.

Normally I can deal with a few things going wrong but it seemed like everything with the hotel stay was awful. I also like to stay in shape but since it was raining when we got there I couldn’t go for a run so I had planned on using the fitness center which much to my luck was closed the entire time I was there. I have no clue why the fitness room was closed but I probably should be glad I didn’t get to use anything because it would have just broken on me. I would have to give them a 3 and that really is pushing it.

I have stayed at the Sleep Inn & Suites three times now during my visits to the Lake of the Ozarks and absolutely love them. I actually know quite a few of the staff members by name now which always makes us feel welcome when we visit. The only complaint about the hotel is that you can hear everything that goes on in the other rooms but other than that I am happy with everything else.

I always get the king suite when I stay here because I like the size of the beds. All the rooms have complimentary mini refrigerators and microwaves which is great if you want a snack but don’t want to leave the room. They also offer free internet which more and more hotels are starting to charge for.

The views aren’t great here either but that’s okay because it’s not like I stand in my room’s window all day anyways. The swimming pool is very large and is very relaxing after a 4 – 5 hour car drive. I had a friend drive down at the last minute and I know a lot of hotels will charge for extra people in the room but they kept my rate the same which I was pretty happy about.

Other than the noise level which can be a pain when you are trying to sleep I am pretty satisfied with the hotel overall. The rooms are clean, the hotel is nice and the staff has always been very courteous even when I called down 3:00 am in the morning requesting toilet paper during my last stay. The rates seem to be about the same as other hotels in the area so I don’t really feel as though I am getting a great rate but at least I‘m not being overcharged so I think they deserve a 6.

The Resort at the Lake of the Ozarks which is located near Osage Beach is one of the best accommodations that I have stayed in during my visit to the Ozarks. I really liked the fact that it felt like a mini apartment instead of a hotel. Our we chose to go with a suite during a visit and we actually had a total of 5 rooms including the bathroom, two fairly good sized bedrooms, a fully stocked kitchen and a living room area.

Aside from having ample space I loved the fact that I had a deck which allowed me to see the beautiful views without ever leaving my room. The rates was really reasonable too compared to some of the other hotels and rentals that I had called when planning my trip.

Some of the hotels that I had called were much higher than the Resort and they didn’t have half of the amenities that we did with our stay. For example they have an indoor swimming pool, hot tub, fitness center and even a game area which contained a ping pong table. It was awesome because two of the days that we were there it rained and it allowed us to keep busy since we couldn’t really be outdoors like we wanted to.

My favorite thing was the water park that was associated with the resort. It was a bit pricey but worth every penny. We enjoyed the resort almost as much as we did the Ozarks. It really is a great place to stay and I would recommend it over almost any other place there.

Also just so you know if you call in advance you can usually get a discount for booking early. We stayed for a week and I booked two months in advance and saved around $150 which was great. I think this hotel deserves a 7.

The Lake Ozark Vacations is the best ever. I truly love their service and the condo that I rented for two weeks made me sad to leave when it was time to go home. I was so impressed by the look and feel of my condo that it almost felt like I was at home. When planning our vacation to the Ozarks my husband and I debated on whether to get a normal hotel room or a condo and I am so glad that we went with his choice.

The Lake Ozark Vacations staff was great too. They have around 200 or so condos to choose from so they asked us a few questions and basically helped us to plan our entire trip. They not only booked my rental but also helped me with shows, restaurant reservations and even gave us tips on where to shop.

The views from my condo were absolutely breathtaking. We decided to save our vacation time so we could take extended 2 week vacation instead of just a few days here and there over the year and I am so glad I did. I got to enjoy 14 days of being able to wake up and look out the window to views that I had never seen before.

If you are looking for a romantic place to stay I definitely would recommend the Lake Ozark Vacations. Their condos are very spacious and have everything that you could ever want or need. My condo was almost as big as my apartment with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, living room and a small dining room. Also there was a large deck off of the condo that overlooked the lake which was awesome especially just as the sun was rising or setting. I think that the Lake Ozark Vacations deserve an 8 overall because they really are great.

Next time you are heading to the Lake of the Ozarks make sure to stay here.

The Econo Lodge Inn could definitely stand a few improvements in many different areas starting with the staff. I am an adventurous person and each time I visit the Ozarks I like to try out new hotels so I chose this hotel and really wished I had chosen a different hotel. I was vacationing with two friends so I had to get up at 5:00 am and fly 4 hours away to meet my friends and then we drove the final 6 hours. We arrived at the hotel at 8:00 pm at night and was told that we were supposed to check in by 6:00 pm or that our room would be canceled. First off I had put late check in on the reservation and check in wasn’t until 4:30 pm anyways so really what the desk clerk was saying made no sense. We asked to speak to a manager and once that was settled we finally got our room key.

So we get to our room and I was extremely tired so I wanted to take a quick shower and go to bed. My friend had the key so she tried to unlock the door and it wouldn’t open. I tried the second key and it didn’t work either. We had to go all the way back to the front desk to ask for working keys before we could get into our room. Once we go the key and got into the room we found only 1 towel in the bathroom, no wash clothes and no toilet paper. Seriously? Don’t these people actually check the rooms to see if they are stocked? So yea we had to call the front desk to get the necessities that we needed. They actually wanted one of us to come back to the front desk to get it and I told them absolutely not that it wasn’t my place to stock their room.

For the most part the stay after that was okay other than staff who really seemed a bit slow and having to repeatedly ask for stuff that should have already been in the room. I probably wouldn’t stay there again unless I had no other choice. I will give them a 1 since the scales don’t have negatives.

I am pretty neutral when it comes to my stay at the Country Hearth Inn. I really didn’t have an awesome stay but it wasn’t really bad either. The rooms were clean and the staff was friendly. I booked my hotel room for a wedding that I had to attend and we stayed there for about 3 days and it went pretty smoothly. They provided us with a free breakfast so that was pretty cool. I enjoyed the waffles that were made by one of their staff members.

I stayed there during the summer and one thing that I did notice was the air conditioning in my room didn’t work very well. I actually went out and bought a fan to put in my room for the duration of my stay because I called management and no one ever came to look at it. I guess others would have complained but I didn’t feel as though it was work the effort since I could solve the problem by buying the fan.

The hotel allows pets which kind of bothered me to since the rooms did have a bit of pet hair which probably came from a dog. I really think that if a hotel is going to allow pets they should have certain rooms dedicated to it and keep other rooms for those who do not want to sleep in the same room where pets has been. That is something that could affect anyone who may have pet allergies especially if the maid service does not clean the room well.

Other than the couple of things that I mentioned I would recommend the Country Hearth Inn to others. Overall it’s not a bad hotel and the rates are pretty decent compared to others in the same area. It may even be a bit cheaper depending on how many nights you plan on staying.

I have mixed feelings about the Comfort Inn that I stayed at during my visit to the Ozarks. The room and hotel itself was very clean and I was glad that we got internet access for free since I had to work even though I was on vacation. Also there was an outdoor pool which was okay but normally I prefer an indoor swimming pool. I also like the fact that they provide you with a mini frig and microwave for free since many hotels actually charge extra for these.

The one thing that I did not really like was the fact that I was charged a different rate than I was told on the phone. There was roughly a $30 difference since I was originally quoted $103 but once we checked in my card was charged for $133. I didn’t really think anything about it because I thought it was a deposit that would drop off once I checked out since most hotels charge one but later I found out that it was the rate I was charged. Since I stayed 5 nights the rate ended up costing me an additional $150 plus the taxes over what I had originally budgeted for. I talked to the clerk when checking out but said there was nothing she could do about it so I basically was stuck paying the bill. I understand that rates can change but since I booked my hotel room while being on the phone with them based on the quote that was given to me it should have been locked in. I have never heard of the rate changing after you made your reservations.

So would I recommend them to friends and family? Probably so but I would tell them to make sure they have an email confirmation with the amount so they can’t be screwed over like I was. I would give them a 4 -5 because they do have a few good points as well as bad.

Wow, what can I say about the Camden other than you stink. When I think of spas or Yachts I think luxurious.This may very well be the worst hotel that I have ever stayed in before in my life. I saw pictures of the resort online and really thought that it would be a great stay during my visits of the Ozarks. My family booked 8 rooms because my brother was getting married here and when we arrived to check in they had 5 rooms available. We drove 8 hours to be told that they lost 3 of the reservations and could not allow more than 4 people per room unless we paid some crazy fees that were additional. I understand that mistakes happen but not only was they rude but they were going to charge us extra for their mistakes. What kind of professional hotel does that?

Okay so we decide that we are going to have to bunk together until the next day when more rooms became available but that didn’t go as planned. We were told that the additional rooms would be vacant and cleaned by 2:00 pm the next day so we could have the rooms that we originally booked. When we got to the front desk to retrieve the keys for the additional rooms we were told that the desk clerk had already rented the rooms so again there was only one available. The beds were uncomfortable, the carpets were dirty and one of the rooms didn’t even have toilet paper. Needless to say we checked out that same day and haven’t been back since.

If you don’t mind dirty rooms, staff that has no clue what they are doing and being lied to then I would recommend the Camden. If you want a hotel room that is clean with a staff that knows how to do their job then look else were. They would get a 0 on my scale. Worst hotel ever.

The Inn at Harbour Ridge Bed & Breakfast is located on the Red Barn Road at Osage Beach, Lake of the Ozarks. The Inn is an award winning bed and breakfast and has plenty to offer discerning guests who are seeking a true home from home while staying at the Lake of the Osarks. It is rated as one the top ten B&Bs in the country, and after spending a night there, it was not difficult to see why.

I booked one night at the Inn at Harbour Ridge Bed & Breakfast as a romantic treat for my other half. It was the description of the private starlit hot tub that sold it to me, and I was not disappointed!

The inn is incredibly romantic and the owners, Sue and Ron, have gone to a lot of trouble to make the place comfortable and relaxing. The rooms are decorated to individual themes and there are lots of extras you can request for your room. For anyone wishing to stay longer, the inn is located very close to many local attractions and amenities, and is the perfect place to spend a relaxing vacation in a family run bed and breakfast.

Our room was very clean and nothing was too much trouble while we were there. The food was wonderful and Sue is an amazing cook. We even got to sample her lovely cookies!

My only regret is that we were unable to stay longer at the Inn as one night was definitely not enough. I have stayed in 5* hotels in several different countries and I can honestly say that the service we received at the inn surpassed most of them. The location was great, the service and facilities were wonderful, and overall we had the best time ever, therefore I will give the Inn at Harbour Ridge B&B a 5/5.

The Kapilana Resort offers vacation rentals at Osage Beach in Lake of the Ozarks. The accommodation ranges from lakefront cabins to residential suites and is suitable for families and couples. The Kapilana Resort is situated on the Grand Glaize arm of the lake and overlooks the State Park. It has been rated as the best hotel on Osage Beach and is certainly a lovely place to relax on a hot summer evening while watching the boats sail by.

The Kapilana has plenty of amenities to offer guests including a swimming pool, playground, barbecue grills, boat docks, and boat rentals. There is even free WIFI for those who cannot bear to be away from Facebook and Twitter, although I was banned from using it while we stayed at the resort.

I took my family to the Kapilana Resort at Osage Beach for a weekend break last summer. We rented a condo and it was clean and bug free. The staff were very friendly and the resort location was very convenient for local restaurants and shops.

My kids absolutely loved the place and were entertained the whole time we were there. They adored the pool and games room, and my youngest daughter spent hours on the swing set. In the evening, we all kicked back and relaxed while the world passed us by on the lake.

I would thoroughly recommend the Kapilana Resort for families looking for a quiet vacation in a great lakeside location. While we were staying at the Kapilana we spoke to several other guests, and many of them admitted to coming back to the Kapilana every year. We might join them next year! The facilities are excellent and the accommodation is ideal for a relaxing break. My kids rate the Kapilana Resort as a 5/5 and so do I.

The Water’s Edge Motel is described as a Lake of the Ozarks getaway, and unlike many motels you might come across, this one can be found right on the edge of the lake and the fantastic views are included in the price, along with a host of other amenities.

We stayed at the Water’s Edge Motel for three nights while passing through Lake of the Ozarks to visit friends. We arrived at the motel expecting a typical level of accommodation normally found at small hotels/motels, but were pleasantly surprised.

The rooms were clean and comfortable, and there was no sign of bugs anywhere, which makes a welcome change from some places we have stayed in! The beds were very comfortable and the grounds surrounding the motel were beautifully landscaped with lots of amenities for guests to use.

What struck me most about this motel was the great atmosphere. It was almost like a home from home and while many motels are rather soulless, the Water’s Edge Motel was both attractive and fun. The lakeside location was glorious and there was the opportunity to hire kayaks and canoes, which we tried on our second day.

By the time we checked out, both my wife and I had already decided to return the following year for a longer stay as we had enjoyed this one so much. There is nothing bad to say about the Water’s Edge Motel. If you are seeking a relaxing motel in a beautiful lakeside location, the Water’s edge is perfect for families, couples, and pretty much anyone, therefore I have no hesitation in rating this motel a 5/5.
