I have stayed at this hotel many times. From start to finish this hotel was a disappointment. I reserved a room weeks in advance and requested an early check in. I was told this wouldn't be a problem if the room wasn't occupied the night before. Upon arrival I was told by the manager that check in wasn't until 4pm. I explained I had requested an early check in and was told shouldn't be a problem. The manager told me that he didn't know if the room was ready, instead of checking he told me that he would call me when the room was ready. I had to track down a house keeper and asked if my room was ready. Me and the house keeper checked the room and verified that the room was ready. The house keeper told me that she would notify the manager and told me to go back to the front desk. When I returned to the front desk an older female hotel employee was there and on the phone. I over heard her say "he just walked in, what should I tell him". I told her that I spoke with house keeper and that my room was ready. She immediately had a very bad attitude towards me, she didn't even greet me. I was informed that there was an additional $100 deposit on the room. I told her that I stayed at this hotel many times in the past and had never been asked to pay a deposit. She told me this is something new they just started. I was not told about this when I reserved the remove over the phone. NOTE: On the hotels official web page it makes no mention of a $100 deposit on rooms. After paying for the room I noticed a note on the front desk that read "AS OF 9/7/23 THE POOL WILL BE CLOSED (This is a week prior to my arrival) NOTE: There was no mention of the pool or hot tub being down or closed on the Hotels web site. Nor was I informed of this when I reserved the room. I asked if the hot tub was down too, she stated that the hot tub was also closed. She then asked me if that was an issue. I told her that yes, it was an issue, I explained to her that we are on vacation and that we intended to use the pool and the hot tub, and that if I had known about this I would have booked a room at another hotel. I explained to her that this wasn't the first time the pool and the hot tub had been closed on my visit. Shen told me that all the pools in Branson were down. I was not offered a discount and was told no when I asked. She then asked for my change back. When I asked her why. She said "so I can give you your money back and you can find another place to stay". I told her I did not have another hotel reserved and finding one might be difficult. The manager then told me that the pool might be back up tomorrow. I was then shocked when the manager stated to me that he thinks the pool might be *******. I don't know if he was being serious or if he was joking. Since all pools in Branson were down we decided to just go ahead and stay. I did inform the manager that I was displeased and that this would be our last stay at this hotel and that I would be writing about m
