My wife, 3 boys, and I are Branson veterans, but we always stay on The Strip. This time, we were in town only for one night for the Polar Express (Christmas season only). I saw the location is within walking distance of The Landing as well as the train station. The train station is also the place for the scenic excursions.
So the location is absolutely perfect especially for being as moderately priced as they are. I strongly recommend walking to The Landing. It's just 4 blocks away and with traffic, it's actually faster to walk than to deal with parking and the traffic. Granted you will need to walk back up that steep hill to get back to the property from The Landing. Still beats having to drive!
As far as the property goes, there are a few separate buildings on the property and they are not connected together. The property is built into the steep hillside. We had a suite in Building B with a king size bed and pull out couch.
It was good for one night, maybe two, but anything more than that, try booking their large family suite or look for another property. The room was clean, smelled fresh, everything worked just fine, bathroom was nice and clean too.
They have a rather spacious breakfast room, which is right next to the pool, and we enjoyed a really good breakfast the one morning we were there. I recommend having a waffle maker. One of my boys was a little disappointed that he couldn't make his own Belgian Waffles like he is able to do at numerous other hotels we've stayed at. Otherwise, they do have a decent spread of hot and continental items.
We will definitely consider staying at Best Western Landing View next time we are in town for a short visit or if the family suite is available! Location can't be beat, rates are very reasonable, especially for the location, and great service from the staff too!
