Boxcar Willie Inn

Breakfast was terrible. Yes they have a cook but it's all prepackaged stuff. Nothing was fresh. Hotel cleaning crew LEFT OUR ROOM OPEN ALL DAY. We left that morning and came back to a door wide open. The room was so hot our sons medicine was ruined. Staff refused to make it right with us. Went back to room upset and tried to sleep. The ac in the unit […] was broke from trying to cool the outside all day. They let us switch rooms. New room was at least cool, smelled horrid and the mini fridge in the room would periodically make a loud high pitched grinding noise all night. The constant wake ups to my 3 year old made for a very early grumpy morning. The front desk clerk was the only bright spot in the day. She was very friendly and helpful. The rest of the stay here was bad and I'm willing to stay just about anywhere that is low priced. I siimply can't get over how "whatever" they seemed to be about their staff leaving our dooor open like that all day. Thankfully nothing was stolen but I give credit for that to the decent folks on our floor and not to the hotel in any way. Read more

The owners are very nice people, the room was very clean and comfortable, and the location is also great. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting a great priced hotel for their family.

We have stayed at this Hotel Several Times. It is clean and has very comfortable beds. There are 4 pillows per bed which is a plus for us. Each room has a refrigerator in it. Plenty of towels in the room as well as shampoo & makeup removing towelettes. There is an indoor pool & hot tub. The breakfast is not amazing, but fine for a quick bite before […] you start your day. The Hotel is away from all the Busy Traffic which we really like. We have stayed at this Hotel on our last few trips to Branson and for the price we have been very pleased. Read more

Overall it was a very good experience the staff was probably the very best part. I left my computer in the lobby and a staff member put it in a safe place until I could come pick it up. It is an older hotel but beds were comfortable and the room was clean.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Room was clean, hotel staff courteous, maid service prompt. Room interior a bit tired and sported an old CRT TV. Parking on a pretty severe slope makes it a bit tough for physically challenged folks to use their cars, load/unload luggage, etc.

This is a nice hotel with a good location. Close to all attractions, but not right on the strip. It was quiet and we had a nice hillside view! Overall a decent hotel for the price.

We had such a wonderful time! The hotel is very clean and maintained. The pool is awesome!!! All of the employees were welcoming and treated us so great. They couldn't of done more to make our vacation perfect! Thank you and we will be back.

Could keep the hotel a little cleaner, the hot tub had a bad smell to it and the pool had things floating on it and the first step into the pool was stained.

This motel is just a hop skip n jump from the main strip. The hotel was nice and clean. I was there on a quick business trip and got to the hotel early (9:30 am) - I had an 11 am business meeting and the front desk clerk was nice enough to switch rooms for me (since the one I had originally booked was still occupied since check out isnt until 11). That […] act alone shows me that they are customer service oriented. Was the room perfect? No - but it was clean and comfortable. I think we would all like a new flat screen TV and a jacuzzi tub in our rooms - but a lot of us penny pinchers can't afford those luxeries. If we could, we wouldnt be staying at the "less flashy" hotels. Only problem I had was that the hair dryer was very noisy and you could smell that it was overheating and on its last legs. I did notify the front desk and the gentleman did make a note of it. It was clean, the staff was nice, they gave us a free HOT breakfast and it was a nice 2 day stay. If you are hanging in downtown Branson for shows, it's a great place to stay. If you want to spend your time at the lake or at silver dollar city, stay somewhere on Indian Point! 8-) A thumbs up from this traveler, for this specific trip the locatation and hotel was just the ticket!

My sister and I went to Branson for the weekend to play. We wanted somewhere that was not to expensive. This hotel was pretty decent for the price. The rooms were comfortable for the price, the tv had cable, you got a REF in your room. Breakfast was cereal, english muffins, fresh waffles, sausage patties and eggs(the eggs were preshaped eggs). So I […] guess you could say it was decent, but I would suggest them to get fresh eggs and maybe some fresh fruit. The Pool was a little chilly, but large and not to many people there. They also had a hot tub and a sauna which was nice. Overall the quality of people was very good. Read more

enjoyable weekend stay wanted a place a little off the main drag, but close enough to drive with little effort.

I thought the matress was a little saged in the middle. Overall was a nice place to stay

Genuine Expedia guest review

This was an outstanding room for the price. Everything was very clean. It looked clean and smelled clean. There were extra pillows on the bed and extra towels in the bathroom. This is a lovely location very close to the strip, but yet with beautiful views of hilly, wooded areas, and lots of birdsong. Very nice lobby and indoor pool also.

Genuine Expedia guest review

It's not right on the main strip, I thought it would be a bit closer, but I enjoyed it. It was pretty quiet, minus the small dog a few rooms down that barked throughout the night. The pool is just enough to get wet in, but mainly for children (3-1/2 ft. to 4-1/2 ft. deep) They have a 4-6 man hot tub which felt nice after walking around Silver Dollar […] City all day. They also have a small sauna (1-2 people). The complimentary breakfast while not the best I've ever had, wasn't the worst I've had either. It was adequate. It was the first time I've ever been served by an employee for a complimentary breakfast, but it's one way to keep waste/cost down. Not a lot of room to manuever where it was served & not enough seating really. The water pressure wasn't great in the shower, but what hotel usually has great water pressure? I would stay again, though I might request to be placed in a room no where near guests with pets. (No I didn't complain to the front desk, I could have, but to heck with it, I was there for family vacation & enjoying myself I wasn't going to let a little yipper quash my family fun time) I loved the fact that we didn't have room cards, it was real keys. This is something I liked, been a while since I've stayed at a hotel with real keys. All in All - a good stay, the rooms were clean, the neighborhood is quiet, not a lot of traffic, pretty nice view of the surrounding trees from the backside of the hotel, adequate free breakfast & fairly relaxing. I didn't speak to hotel staff, so no clue what they are like. Read more

We stayed through the Christmas holiday. It was wounderful, we got the Zypher King, with a fireplace in our room! The staff and the hotel were great. kind and very curtious. We got the 3rd floor all to ourselves until the last day; the view of the mountains and the city in the valley were breathtaking. There is actually a cook the prepares breakfast […] for you; and there's a large selection of food items. Price was great! Will be comming back during the summer months to do some bike riding, beautiful, hilly roads to ride! Read more

Price was very reasonable. Location out of the way yet still convenient. Continental breakfast prepared by an attendant who kept things moving-food offering was okay. Only one ice machine which was inconveniently located. On site shuttle available during busy season but wasn't operating when we were there. Hotel provided show ticketing service offered […] small discount on ticket prices and was prompt with providing reservation numbers. Read more

I was a little reluctant about staying in such a cheap hotel, but I was pleasantly surprised! The room was nice and I could tell it has been renovated. There was even a fireplace in the room! (the heater kind, more for looks) The water pressure was good and there was a mini fridge in the room. The bed was fairly comfortable. The continental breakfast […] was simple, just the basics, but it was included. They also had free wi-fi. We would definitley stay here again - great stay for the price! Read more

The rooms are quiet and comfortable. There is a buffet breakfast with biscuits and gravy, waffles, sausage, bacon, etc besides the usual donuts, bagels, cereals! You are treated as a guest, by a staff that is there to serve you. The hotel is surrounded by woods and mountains. I'll certainly be staying at the Boxcar Willie Inn again when I'm in Bran […] son.

We would definitely stay here again. Breakfasts were wonderful, the kids loved the pool, and for us the location off the main road was great.

This hotel was extremely clean and quiet. Beds were clean and comfortable and there were FOUR pillows on each bed. Every employee that we interacted with was gracious and nice. We loved the breakfast that extended until 10:00am as we like to sleep late on vacation. The food was hot and good and not just a donut as some hotels offer. They always cleaned […] our room even when we were in it until mid afternoon. We will never stay anywhere else again in Branson as long as they continue to do this good a job. Read more

Hotel was very clean, but overall impressions were middle of the line. The indoor pool was very cold, but the hot tub was nice. The free breakfast was not good at all. The batter for the belgian waffles had soured (I'm guessing here- this is based on the taste of the waffles) and the juice in the machine was bad. For the price we payed this hotel was […] decent, so yes I would recommend it. But, be warned, you get what you pay for. Read more

We stayed at Boxcar Willie Inn for seven days while we toured Branson and the Ozarks. It is really a very upscale motel which met our needs easily.

It is a great value for […] the price and we were very pleased with our choice. Read more

A nice older hotel. Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable. Breakfast was ok. Dinner area was small but, the biscuits and gravy/ fresh made waffles were excellent. Parking was close to our room.Easy drive to Branson attractions.

took our 3 1/2 yr old granddaughter to branson while my daughter and son in law were on a cruise. had a great time she loved the pool area. the hotel was very clean and the staff was very friendly. yes it is an older hotel but it is well kept and the room was very clean. the breakfast was not good at all but a clean room and hotel mean more than a free […] bowl of corn flakes! we just went up around the corner on 76 to the plantation restaurant, the breakfast buffet has alot on it and its only 4.99, and the waitresses were soooo friendly, really nice ladies. so in a nutshell we would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to others-just skip the breakfast.

Make no mistake, this is an older economy hotel but they do it right where it counts. The rooms are spacious and well appointed. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom had a nice amenity package (lotion, shampoo, conditioner, make-up remover, shower cap). hairdryer and coffee maker. The shower head (this is always a pet peeve of mine when it doesn't […] work ) had a nice flow and good temperature control. The television worked well. The a/c and heater looked new and worked very well with excellent temperature controls. There was a refrigerator in the room which was a very nice touch. The breakfast served each morning didn't start until 7:00 a.m which is a little late as hotel breakfasts go but they had an assortment of muffins, juice, biscuits and gravy, cereal, sausage and eggs (the eggs left a bit to be desired as they were pre-formed patties and somewhat dry) but all in all it was good. The pool is large and there is also a sauna in the room. There is a guest laundry on the first floor. Ask for a room facing the hills as the view is beautiful. The staff was very helpful and efficient. I would definitely stay there again, especially if I were planning to go to the shows on hwy 76 or take children to Celebration City. Both are very close. If you are looking for a good value with all of the basics done well, I would highly recommend it. Read more

this motel was great for the price. Rooms were clean and the beds were very comfortable. The hot Breakfast on the other hand was less than we exspected. The serving room was way too small and food was cold and of a poor quality. The indoor pool got a ten star from the grandbaby.

I rated this hotel 5of5 based on the price. It is not a 5 star hotel, but very nice. We were looking for a cheap place to stay for the weekend. We got exactly what we wanted. It is right on the Yellow route in Branson. You could get anywhere you wanted to go and avoid most traffic. The rooms were very roomy compared to what we expected. They had a […] full dresser with mirror and an armoire with the TV. Lots of room to put your stuff. The bath tub was small, but typical. The bathroom counter was nice and long. Good if you have girls getting ready. The pool was big and 3ft deep most the way across (we have small kids and they could touch. The breakfast that was included was good (biscuits & gravy, saus&egg sandwich, bagels, engl muffins, etc.). It was all free, we just tipped the cook. They also had FREE wi-fi. Some places charge, but they just give you the code when you check in. We may stay there again in the winter since the pool is indoor. Read more

Fridge didn't get cold. Broken chair. Noisy A/C but it worked. Stopper in sink and tub broken. Maids arrive at 4 Pm to clean. Awful, pre-made eggs for breakfast. Terry got us terrible seats at Dixie Stampede. The ice machine broke and stayed broke for 300+ rooms leaving one functional. But the employees were friendly, the beds were good, TV worked, […] and there was no train or traffic noise. There were cheaper motels and lots of vacancies. Read more

This is an older motel but very well maintained. Breakfast was one step above a continental breakfast. Adequate but not great. The location was great.

Great value and […] nice staff. Read more

We arrived at the hotel with the idea that we would have a king room, non smoking, no pets. Instead we had 2 queen beds, it was non smoking but had a really bad odor of pet urine and poop. We called hotels dot com and requested a refund and stayed at another hotel. We wouldn't reccommend anyone stay there. Was very dissapointed in the hote.

This is our second stay at Boxcar Willie Inn. We really like it. I like the privacy of being "off the beaten path". The mountain view is fantastic. Everyone was friendly, and we were treated well.

The pool, which we much looked forward to at the end of a hot day was freezing cold. I'm talking so cold that I couldn't even get in it. The hot tub was nice and the front desk gave you towels for pool use which was also a bonus. We had to park far away from our room and the breakfast wasn't all that great. However, the employees were very nice, the […] room was super clean, and the tv was in good condition. I just think I'll stay at a different place next time where I can actually enjoy the breakfast and pool. Read more
