Stayed here bc we were in town to see a band playing at Encore Lakeside Bar. The hotel is just across the parking lot so very convenient but I would only stay there again if I was going to the bar. The pool with swim up bar was nice but it was cool and rainy so didn’t use it. The bar is very nice and food was good. The hotel room was mediocre at best. Smelled musty and pillows were horrible. We had to switch rooms just to have a place to hang our clothes, as first room had nothing to accommodate hanging anything. My friends had to have staff change bedding upon arrival due to blood stains on the comforter. The staff was very nice and accommodating, but the hotel itself leaves a lot to be desired. Convenience was the name of the game for this trip.

8.7/10 on Expedia? This place is not worth a stay. It sounds nice as they refer to it as a \"resort\". Don't stay here. It's an old motel with a nice name. Thin walls, super hard beds, terrible breakfast selection, old feel. Staff does what they can, but this place is a dump.

We stayed for 3 nights. There was an envelope in the room to tip the staff who was cleaning our room, however we never had anyone attend to our room-it was not cleaned and we never received new towels during the stay. For the cost, we felt the service was much less than we received at other places.

Our cars keys were inside locked room. 3rd day while taking a shower the popcorn ceiling was falling on my head in the shower. We packed up our stuff and didn't finish our stay.

This place feels like an older motel that has been revamped. The rooms have been remodeled - new floors, bathroom, fixtures. My partner and I both agree that the bed and pillows are the most comfortable that we have ever experienced in a hotel stay. We had a room overlooking the main parking lot, which resulted in quite a bit of light coming in overnight and offered zero privacy to have shades pulled during the day. We weren’t here much during the day anyway, so it was ok. There was live music down at the Encore a level below, and the owner was transporting hotel guests back to their rooms via a golf cart during the evening. Overall, our stay was good!

The staff was very nice but the rules of the place was ridiculous. They would NOT get you fresh towels unless you brought them to the front desk and got them your self. None of the pool areas had towels. If you wanted your trash emptied you had to take it to the front desk so they could empty it and get you a new bag so you can take it back to your room. This was all done during daylight hours so it wasn't late at night or anything.The game room for the kids had 2 working games and the room was unbearable hot! For the price of the room the air conditioner hardly worked so we kept waking up super hot. Especially with kids that alone was overwhelming. Then our second room was supposed to be next to ours but it was on the back side of the front side we was on. The food was very over priced. We travel a lot and I've had way better for way less. Now the entertainment was great! The staff was amazing. But we will choose a better resort next time.

We've stayed there before. We got a lake view room this time. The bed was terribly uncomfortable, unfortunately. I had originally been bummed we were only staying one night, but after waking up I was so sore from the mattress I was glad to be going home. The AC unit was super loud as well, and it looked like the baseboards were rotting away.

Staff was great, as always. We love having the on site restaurant/bar. We went down to enjoy happy hour- prices didn't seem any cheaper than any other time.

Not sure we will try it again which sucks because it has become an anniversary tradition of sorts.

Please don't waste any time or money on this property. It was probably spectacular in the 80s, but hasn't really been touched since. The elevator did not work. The \"breakfast\" available in the morning was an absolute joke. The rooms were not clean and the bathroom door hit the toilet and would barely open/close.

Avoid this place at all costs. I honestly don't understand how it has so many positive reviews.
We arrived around 9:00 p.m. because our flight was delayed. From the moment we checked in, the experience was disappointing. The front desk staff was rude, and we got completely lost trying to find our unit. When I called the front desk for help, I was told someone was on the way, but no one ever came. I eventually had to walk back to the office, and only after the employee saw me did she decide to help. She had been standing around chatting with friends while we were wandering the property trying to find our room.
The property itself was dirty and poorly maintained. Considering the price, I couldn't believe what they were charging for the quality of the accommodations. I was also very uncomfortable seeing cameras positioned outside the balcony area, which felt like a serious invasion of privacy.
After finally getting settled, we decided to eat at the hotel's bar. Unfortunately, that experience was just as bad. The chicken was dry and rubbery, and the food overall was disappointing. Our bartender, April, was one of the rudest customer service employees I have ever encountered.
Overall, this was one of the worst hotel experiences I've had. I would strongly recommend avoiding this property and staying at a reputable chain hotel instead.

The standard room is nothing more than a Motel 6 set up and over $200/night. The doors are on an exterior walkway and have cracks that let in air, noise and light from the walkway outside. We could hear snoring and full conversations through the walls. The continental breakfast was breads and yogurt. The indoor pool was ok but only 3.5 feet deep and the only place to swim; the outdoor swim up bar was wonderful but you cannot swim in it. This is not a resort.

This property does not look like the photos on the website. It was quiet and pretty deserted when we were there. The fitness facilities were closed for work and we were given a different type room than we requested and paid for. The hotel stated that the mix-up was Expedia’s fault and it could have been. The rooms had been updated but the upgrade was not done well, the bathroom sinks were tiny and our “lake view” room had a lovely view of a the hotel roof, a utility pole with the lake in the far distance.

Breakfast is all convenience/premade items and the coffee was mediocre.

You have options in the Lake of the Ozarks. Choose wisely. If we return, we will not stay here again.

Let me start by saying:

Cons...
1. Property needs some upgrade and the images on the website was not accurate.
2. Room safety chain was broke
3. No soap dish holder on bathroom sink
4. The table in room was wrobbly
5. Comforter and sheets were damp after check-in
6. Breakfast only consisted of cereal, premade waffles in bag, yogurt, muffins, juice, and milk in cafe container
7. Suites rooms ($400+) advertised online were false and did not have view of lake
8. Check-out was at 11:00am and was told at 11:01am, I would be charge an additional fee.
9. As I am leaving room after checking out, I had to place my luggage outside the door so not to be charged extra fee and the housekeeping was standing at the room door then proceeded to call front desk on walkie talkie.
10. Outdoor pool had a security guard on watch once my family party of 10 entered as if we would be a problem.
11. Walking the property trails/grounds at night were not well lighted, pretty dark to walk alone.
12. Hotel charged your card 3 days prior to arrival.
11. This resort gave me an impression of a slave quarters... not people of color friendly.

Pros...
1. The new Encore restaurant was nice and good food.
2. The roof bar was nice overlooking the lake
3. Swim-up pool bar was small, but nice.
4. It was close to major highway, restaurants and shopping.

The facilities were just ok, access was not ideal. The largest issue was an item stolen from my room, presumably by cleaning staff. The management tied themselves in knots with four different versions of events to explain how that couldn't possibly happen.

I purchased a room with a separate tub online. When I arrived, this was not available. After talking with staff, this had been reported to Expedia but it is not being shared online. The Resort did not have this type of room available due to maintenance issues. I was not given a discount which I feel needs to come from Expedia. It is their responsibility to keep information current when information is sent to them, verified by staff. Not sure that I will use Expedia again unless a discount is offered to make it right.

Old hotel that was cheaply renovated. Our room was very damp and had a mildew smell. Paint was chipping off the bathtub and tile walls that they painted white to make look better. Knob to adjust shower temp was broken so couldn’t adjust temperature of the water. Part of wall was rotted and cheap baseboards use to try and cover up. Room was not cleaned after day 1 nor did we have clean towels or wash rags. I had to go to front desk to request. Beds were not comfortable. Great location for us as our friends boat was at Marine Max. We also enjoyed the bar Encore that was walking distance from our room. Price charged per night and extra resort fee was not worth it and should be significantly lower.

Photos provided online did not match rooms proper description. Gaps between main door and door frame let bugs and sunlight into the room. We asked for clean sheets and never received them so for two days we slept on the mattress pad. Had to request more towels that were stained. Shower had a huge crack on the wall and was letting water into the wall and it would drain an awful color once water was turned off.
