Quality Inn & Suites Kansas City Downtown is located off of I-35. We are within walking distance to the World War II Memorial, Country Club Plaza, Downtown Kansas City, Union Station, and Crown Center. We have kitchenettes, free parking, free WiFi, and hot breakfast. Guest laundry available onsite.
We'd never seen a motel like this, converted from an old brick apartment building. Thus the rooms are huge, although the parking is limited. The building is right in the middle of the city, a convenient location if a bit noisy sometimes.

Very nice and spacious rooms, looks very clean, it has central air so there’s no noisy window unit. Full size fridge and dishwasher with soap supplied for it. The the clothes washer also has soap stocked for it. There is a resort fee even though the only amenity Wes the pool which we didn’t use. Comfortable beds with extra bedding in the armoire if needed. One plus or minus, depends upon how you like it, there was no room service for the 5 days we were there. You either reuse towels or wash them in the washer. We enjoyed our stay at the Grand Crown even though we had a 3 hour presentation to get a cheaper rate. We had a small maintenance issue so I called the front desk, a maintenance man was there in about 3 minutes and the issue was fixed. If you like big TV’s you won’t find it here, we had two 24” TV’s, one in the bedroom and one in the sitting room.

The unit we were in was very enjoyable. We stayed in October, 2019 and requested the same unit this month, April 2021 and they accommodated us with it. It is quiet and close to everything we want to do. We are sad to see the shopping is almost nonexistent and become less and less which is typical after Covid so many places. This is a nice place to stay though with a nice balcony, gas fireplace in our unit, with a full kitchen. We had a king bed in a bedroom and a mushy bed in the living room. We like this place a lot.

Resort Overview Theaters to the left, theaters to the right; with just a glance you can tell you have arrived in the music mecca that is Branson, Missouri. Esteemed as the "Live Entertainment Capital of the World," the city offers a cavalcade of foot-stomping musical venues—from country-western and gospel to blues and show tunes. And your resort puts you within a holler’s distance of it all. Missouri’s Ozark Mountains provide the ultimate backdrop to the area’s spirited outdoor life. Go fishing in the region’s lakes and trout streams, explore the truly amazing Fantastic Caverns with your family, or relax back at the resort on the Thousand Hills Golf Course. With its heartland music, flavorful cooking and friendly faces, you’ll get a taste of down-home zest in Branson. Helpful Hints Keep in mind there are no elevators. Not every show or attraction is available for purchase through the Worldmark front desk.
Worldmark Branson was exceptional. We requested a ground floor unit for an elderly parent which we received and they put a king bridge on the two twin beds to join them together. We were thrilled. The unit was super clean. The kitchen accessories were exactly what we needed for the week. A towel exchange was delivered immediately when I called. The check in and out was easy. Close to Sight and Sound Theater and easy access to all of Branson, but still secluded enough. We loved our 5 nite stay at Worldmark Branson.

DO NOT rent through Marriott Villas and Homes. This is my second experience, both of them very poor. The first time, two weeks before our trip they Cancelled the rental and tried to move us to a unit that was the same price but from a 7 bedroom home to a five bedroom home.The home was not comparable and in a different location. They blamed the owners for pulling the property even though there was a contract. This time Marriott blamed the management company for the filthy conditions- clearly no one oversees the management company. Condo had feces in the bedroom, roaches, dirty blankets- floor was unswept, carpet frayed Someone smoked in the unit and it was not cigarettes. Strong pot smell. the floor was dirty, sink full of crumbs and towels from previous renter in the washer. Property manager did send a cleaner but they would not use disinfectant due to allergy. Marriott blames property management , they blame the cleaners. It was a complete run around and Marriott "apologizes" and will make it "better" for the next renters.

Pointe Royale Condominium and Golf Resort offers 1-4 bedroom units featuring a full-size kitchen, living rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms. The on-site amenities include an 18-hole golf course, indoor & outdoor pools, zero entry kiddie pool, fitness center, restaurant to name just a few. The nightly rental condominiums are available thru different management companies.
In all fairness, I can't rate Pointe Royale Village and Country Club based on the unit we got because we were using a third party rental service, and our unit doesn't reflect the resort directly. I'd give five stars to PRV&CC but two stars to the unit we are in, building 10, unit 1. It is one of the oldest condos on the property and it is extremely outdated. I have a laundry list of it's shortcomings, but I'll let the pictures tell the story. Just saying, in my opinion there are vacation homes you have for personal use, where you dump all of your old furniture, appliances and mismatched dishes, then there are vacation homes you rent out during the weeks you aren't using it, but you have some pride of ownership. The unit we are in shows no pride of ownership. While it is comfortable and our basic needs are met, when we looked at the PRV&CC website we saw something totally different.

StoneBridge Resort is located on 3,200 acres in Branson's premier gated golf community featuring LedgeStone Championship Golf Course. Offering studios, suites, condos, villas, lodges, luxury homes, 3 swimming pools, 3 playgrounds, 3 tennis courts, walking trails, catch and release lake, basketball court, sand volleyball court, and on-site restaurant. We are located one mile from Silver Dollar City and 10 minutes for all the excitement that Branson has to offer.
I didn't get to go because of illness. Resort Vacation Certificates did not cancel the certificate per their contract. They have in the past and I have no complaints. The resort manager Jamie was really helpful even though I didn't make it to the resort. I've been here many times in the past few years. My sister Gayle and I were here at Christmas time. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We went to the Top of the Rock, saw the Celtic Ladies and found some nice nearby restaurants. We had lunch/dinner at the Keeter Center. They had the best breads and butter I ever had. The waiter was a nursing student in his 3rd year at the College of the Ozarks. We went to Branson Landing and road around in one of the individual carts with an extremely verbose and friendly man who looked like Santa.

This hotel is very dated, with questionable standards of cleanliness. the carpets are old and smell. The lighting is dim!; dirty sidewalks; even the rental office looks substandard. Needs to be updated!
