We have stayed here for many years.  This was our second stay under the new ownership.  The room was still clean and decorated tastefully.  The bed was comfortable.  The a/c/heater had a slight rattle, but our sound machine mostly covered that up.

WiFi was still unreliable.  Both times we checked in on a Friday night and could not consistently connect to the internet.  The connection seemed to improve after 10am on Saturday when we assume some people checked out.  I don't think their service/router/WiFi extenders can handle the size of the hotel.

Some of the information from the website is inaccurate.  They do NOT have an "Online Guest Portal to View Door Code, Policies, Receipts, and manage payment methods right on your mobile device."  They do NOT have a "Digital Welcome Guide - Everything you need to know about The Bradford and local attractions."  They do NOT offer "Towel Service through an online form."

The door code was only sent 6 hours in advance of check-in and not 24 hours in advance like the reservation confirmation states.

If you are staying for multiple days, you need to plan ahead because phones are only answered between 8am and 5pm on weekdays and 8am to 12pm on Saturday.  If you need towels, you must text your request in early enough for them to deliver them between 10am and 2pm.

We will probably continue to stay here because the rooms and location are beautiful.    You just need to be aware of the limitations.  

Unreliable Internet Service; Clean and comfortable rooms

Absolute perfect!! We stayed in the Guest House and loved the completely remodeled rooms. Decorated tastefully , screened in porch, spacious kitchen and living room, and the bedrooms were wonderful. The view from the screened in porch was breathtaking, overlooking downstairs Branson with beautiful scenery. The restaurant, Steamy Joe’s was handy with good coffee, good food and a great view!

Hallmark hotel

I am so happy I chose to stay here for our Branson mini-vacation! The hostess made things very easy by communicating through email and text. In fact we never had to have contact with anyone since the door locks are all coded and everything was online, and the buildings are broken up into groups of rooms, like apartments, so it's very quiet and private. There is a beautiful fire pit and patio area for guest use, a game room, a self serve coffee bar, and a bustling partial-self-serve cafe that serves delicious breakfast and lunch. (You order at the register, sit, pick up your food at a counter when called, and drop off your own dishes afterward.) Be sure to pick up some of their bakery items for later! Also I love that it is outside of town so it is very peaceful and yet a short drive to all the attractions.

A Peaceful Gem

My mother and I booked a room for July 11-12. We had a horrible nights sleep due to the noisy AC unit and allergies…something in the room. I contacted Taryn and let her know we needed to check out immediately and we would only be charged for 1 night due to these circumstances, she said “no problem”, but my credit card has been charged for 2 nights. I have left several text messages and voice messages and she has yet to send me an itemized receipt or even follow up. Please be aware of this place. Great location, horrible service. 

Horrible service

Great rooms and numerous amenities and views. Kudos to Todd, Stacy, Trevor and especially Taryn for making our wedding anniversary special.  Plus the food and service next door at Steamy Joe Cafe is the best!  Breakfast specials and blueberry scones are also the best!

Awesome accommodations, service and food! 😋

Wow!!! We stopped at Steamy Joe's (the attached coffee shop/restaurant.) And was blown away! After eating an amazing breakfast at Steamy Joe's, I went out back to take pictures to show my husband. While I was back there, the sales manager and her father-in-law were out there. Not only did they tell me about the in and encourage me to explore, they also went out of there way to show me around. They tooke me into the large townhouse type of room they have and allowed me to check to see if it would fix my large family's needs. And, of course it did. I am super excited to visit again!

What a hidden gem!

We had a wonderful stay here, the Inn was very nice, our room was big and had nice amenities, view was terrific, staff was very friendly and helpful. We stayed in room 29, the fisherman’s cottage, the bed was comfortable and we enjoyed the fireplace

Had a great stay

Overall, very good accommodations and restaurant with à great view of the Branson area. Joey and Susan do à nice job with customers in the restaurant àrea and the prices are reasonable. The ONLY thing that didn't work for me was the shower/tub set up basically out in the room. Nevertheless, we will gladly go back. Good people from kitchen to maintenance.  b.


We are going to be repeat customers.

We have been coming to Bradford Inn (now called The Bradford under new ownership) for fifteen years.  We were hesitant about the trip this year with the new owners and the changes.  There were some disappointments and some pleasant surprises.  We will definitely return next year.

Disappointments: 
Breakfast is no longer included.  Steamy Joe's Cafe now occupies the main building and offers meals from 7am to 2pm daily.  The lines were long on the weekends and the homey feel is gone, but the food was excellent.  Lodgers at The Bradford get a 25% discount which brought the cost of breakfast for two to about $18--an additional cost we now need to plan for.  Also, the parking lot gets extremely crowded with restaurant guests from 7am to 2pm so it can be hard for hotel guests to find a spot depending on when you're returning to your room.

The carpet was replaced by vinyl flooring in the room we stayed in, so sounds of doors and footsteps carried from other rooms much more than in the past.

WiFi worked well for most of the time during our 3-day stay, but it did go out for 6 hours one evening which caused us not to be able to stream any movies or complete any work on the computer.  (Note:  The owners tried rebooting the router, but it didn't make a difference so perhaps there was a problem with the internet service provider and not the inn's WiFi.  We're not sure.)

The tub stopper in the jacuzzi was broken so you had to use your fingernails to try to pull it open to release the water out--not an easy feat.

There are no longer hangers in the closet, so be sure to bring your own.

There was just a thin comforter in addition to the sheets on the bed, so we used an extra blanket that we happened to have in our vehicle.  You may want to bring your own.

We weren't sure what to do with our trash since there is no room service, so we used a grocery bag to accumulate the extra.

Positives:
The TV was replaced with a big-screen Roku TV with both cable (included) and streaming options if you have your own streaming services to log in to.

The table and chairs that used to be in the room were removed with the remodel, but the new owners set up a small table and two chairs in the room for us to use during our stay, which was extremely helpful.

When we texted to request more towels, they were brought promptly.  (The available hours for delivery are between 10am and 4pm.)

We liked being able to go straight to the room and log in with the code and not have to wait to speak to someone in the office to checkin, although we do miss some of those chats.

So, while the stay was not the same as in the past, it was still very good.  We feel that even though the new owners are handling things differently, they do really care about their guests, and we plan on returning again next year.

Different, but still good

The Bradford is one of the jewels of Branson. The rooms are freshly remodeled, and refurbished. The aesthetics create a charm that you can’t find anywhere else and the interior of the buildings is the same. The Christmas decorations add a festive touch and the restaurant provides a full menu for breakfast and lunch with generous portions and a reasonable rate. The view from the outside deck is worth the price of the room. You will not be disappointed with your stay.  We will be back again and again. And you can’t beat the hospitality that you will receive from Todd and Stacy Flota, and Trevor and Taryn Flota.
