Red Roof Inn Osage Beach - Lake of the Ozarks

Hot tub in room

It was nice. I had read some online reviews that mentioned horrible things so I was apprehensive. But the only thing they were right about was the hot tub not working. Our room was clean, comfy, and more than adequate. The water pressure was a little on the soft side for me, and there were only three pillows on the bed, but I bring my own with me when I travel so it was not a big deal. The indoor pool is nice, and relatively heated but not overwhelmingly hot. There's a basketball hoop in the shallow end for the kids. The breakfast was from 6-9am and there were waffles, biscuits and gravy, cereal, milk, juice, coffee, oatmeal, various fruit and breads/bagels. I had a waffle, it was fine and my dad had biscuits and gravy. He said they were good. The coffee was fresh and hot, too. The parking lot is not a good first impression. There's a huge divot in the concrete, and there are these massive speed bumps on the hill going down to the hotel. Going up the hill is when it's really bad because you have to go fast enough to get up the hill and get over the speed bumps. It's very rough at 9am. Or 4pm... Or any time you leave the hotel. The employees here were very nice and super friendly. They ran my credit card, as a security deposit, but didn't charge it. Which is nice, because it seems to somehow take forever for those refunds. Everything was in order when we arrived and they let us check in at 130pm. I would definitely stay here again!

I wish the hot tub was working. The parking lot needs some attention. Also I wished the Wi-Fi was a bit better but we were on the third floor, so perhaps that's why it was a tad slow.

Generally, I liked it!

Everything was good except the cleanliness facilities. The facial tissue provided was just a small pocket-sized pack, and the shampoo bottles were very small, so I had to go to Walmart on the first night to buy facial tissues and shampoo. Another issue I was concerned about was the breakfast, which was not organized very well. The breakfast options were limited; for example, they should serve eggs every day for breakfast.

The room layout and size

The facility was poorly cared for and it seemed run down.
