Tucked away in the Orzak Mountains, Stormy Point Village is an upscale timeshare resort designed like a quaint Cape Cod town. This family-friendly property offers a couple hundred charming stand-alone cottages with up to four bedrooms, full kitchens with washer/dryers and dishwashers, fireplaces, and private porches, all set on lovely (yet hilly) grounds overlooking Table Rock Lake. The outdoor pools and picnic areas are great for the warmer months, but a full entertainment program with seasonal activities is available year-round, and the indoor pool and gym are fantastic perks for the colder days. The property is somewhat secluded but offers easy driving access to Branson and Silver Dollar City, each located within 15 minutes of the resort. For something closer to town, consider Best Western Center Pointe Inn, though they lack full kitchens and only have microwaves.

The Grand Oaks Hotel is a clean, budget-friendly hotel with more up-to-date rooms and on-site features than most comparable hotels in Branson.

A far cry from a standard chain hotel, this 193-room, three-and-a-half-pearl hotel is a historic, artsy gem in the heart of Kansas City.

The hotel also has a breakfast and dinner restaurant plus a martini bar with occasional live music on site. It may be worth comparing rates at Hotel Phillips, which also has impressive historical interiors and a boutique vibe.

A family-run motel set on wooded land about 15 minutes outside Branson, the Shady Acre Motel is a basic budget stay that attracts families and couples who want to be near to the Branson countryside and Table Rock Lake. Rooms are homey and cozy, many renovated in 2014, although the style is a bit dated nonetheless; many have kitchenettes. The surrounding grounds are well-maintained and picturesque in the warmer months, with an outdoor pool, wishing well, frog pond, and garden gnomes. The 16-room motel is right next to both Silver Dollar City and the Blue Mountain Campground, the latter of which is an added bonus for guests who bring their RVs along and want to extend their trip.

Three-pearl Adam's Mark Hotel is a convenient hotel for business guests and those attending events at the city stadiums. It provides shuttles to the stadiums for games and concerts. Features are fairly numerous, including a barbecue restaurant, cafe, and bar, and there are both indoor and outdoor pools, plus a gym. The water park are a big draw for families, though it comes with a fee, and conference facilities are extensive. The 369 rooms need an overhaul, though they're spacious -- the suites in particular have efficiency kitchenettes and separate living areas. However, complaints at the hotel include lacking hot water and an often-tardy shuttle. The Four Points by Sheraton Kansas City Sports Complex is a similar option. Rooms are a bit nicer there, though leisure features are not as extensive.

The upscale 724-room Westin Crown Center is attached to the shops and restaurants of the Hallmark Crown Center Mall. The hotel has tennis courts, a heated outdoor pool, and a large modern fitness center (though the fee to use it is a let down) as well as a sauna and steam room. Extensive meeting facilities draw plenty of business travelers, plus there's a restaurant and bar on-site.
