| littledebby's Full Review: Holiday Inn Express Owasso |
Recently my husband and I took our daughter for a short trip down to Branson, MO. Since I work for a Holiday Inn we usually look for a Holiday Inn hotel at our destination. This time we booked a room at the Holiday Inn Express in Branson.
Holiday Inn Expresses offer a limited version of a regular Holiday Inn hotel. Since the Expresses do not offer as many amenities as a full service Holiday Inn their rates tend to be a little less expensive. This particular Holiday Inn Express was offering rates in Branson during the fall for around $65.00.
Although an Express usually will not have their own restaurant a complimentary continental breakfast is provided. A complimentary breakfast is very helpful if you are traveling on a budget. The Express in Branson offered their breakfast from 6:30am until 9:30am. There was a wide variety of foods and drinks. An attendant was present to keep the breakfast stocked and the breakfast room clean. She did a great job both mornings we were there and the breakfast room was spotless.
Other features of this Holiday Inn included an indoor pool and hot tub, free local calls and all of their rooms were designated as non-smoking. There were 90 sleeping rooms at this facility and they offered meeting space that could accommodate up to 20 people.
When we arrived at the hotel they were sold out of the queen size bed that we had requested. The desk clerk upgraded us to a king size bed which also came with a Jacuzzi at no extra cost. Inside our room was also an iron and ironing board, a coffee maker, and a hairdryer.
We found all of the employees at this hotel to be extremely friendly and courteous. Our first night there we requested a crib for our infant and it was brought up quickly. The hotel was also in a good location. It was just off the highway and on the beginning of Main Street, also known as the strip, in Branson.
If you are looking to stay at a Holiday Inn and are on a budget, I would recommend trying a Holiday Inn Express. We had a great experience with the one we tried and we will definitely stay at one again.
