This Comfort Inn & Suites is a family-run, family-friendly budget hotel with 102 air-conditioned rooms in a quiet area in the Branson Theater District. The hotel is clean, although the generic, chain-style decor is a bit bland and without frills. An indoor pool area is also home to a hot tub, and the hotel has laundry facilities and an outdoor picnic area with a walking trail. The free breakfast has both hot and cold options. Rooms are pretty standard for this level of hotel, but the mini-fridge and microwave in each mean guests can be self-sufficient. Quality Inn West is just five minutes up the road, and has similar rates an equally well-maintained indoor pool so it's worth considering as well.
Scene
With dated mountain lodge-inspired decor, including a fireplace and stuffed bear, throughout, this hotel attracts families on a budget.
Set back from the road on a small hill, the Comfort Inn & Suites Branson Meadows looks like a pretty standard, mid-range chain motel, except that it’s in a very green area,
surrounded by well-kept gardens and trees. A big stone bear at the entrance hints at the mountain lodge-inspired decor inside; the lobby has a
lodge-like feel, with a handful of stuffed animals adorning the walls and another large bear that makes growling noises, which kids
love. A large moose head hangs over a stone
fireplace, and deer heads flank the front desk. The carpet is
slightly dated, but the furniture includes well-kept leather
sofas. With large windows, the lobby feels bright and airy. The property is popular with couples and families traveling on a budget and looking to be close to Branson
entertainment hot spots such as Silver Dollar City and the Shepherd of The Hills
entertainment parks.

wildlife. For horseback riding, Uncle Ike’s Trail Ride is a quick drive up the road.
