A family-run, 93-room budget hotel in Branson's Theater District, the Best Western Music Capital Inn has more -- and nicer -- facilities than many other value hotels in the area, including an on-site spa,
24-hour fitness center, arcade game room, and indoor swimming pool and
hot tub. Rooms have traditional, somewhat dated decor, but they're spacious, and free Wi-Fi, parking, and breakfast are included in all rates. Most of the city's theaters are within walking distance, and there are a number of restaurants on the street that
offer discounts to hotel guests.

Scene
This value hotel has some dated features and a family-oriented vibe.
With high ceilings, the lobby has the grandest feel of the property. There are a number of places to sit, from couches
with plush cushions to boxy, booth-style chairs. With cozy furnishings and decor in shades of
gold, chocolate brown, and silvery taupe, the area feels welcoming and relaxed. Brown tile floors have circular rugs, and tables have decorative
vases that add some flare. The large front desk is adorned with colorful modern artwork. Guests staying in the main building can use the nearby elevators to
get to their rooms, while some rooms are accessible from outdoor walkways.
The breakfast area -- on a mezzanine area overlooking the lobby -- is bright, with brown floors, cafe-style tables, and a waffle-maker. This budget hotel is popular
with families and couples looking to be close to the theaters.
Location
In the Theater District, within walking distance of restaurants and theaters
The Best Western Music Capital Inn is located in the Theater District in Branson. Many of the entertainment theaters along 76 Country Boulevard and Shepherd of the Hills Expressway are within walking distance; Hamner’s
Variety Theater is less than a five-minute walk away, and the Hughes Brothers
Theater is a three-minute drive from the lobby door. New Shanghai Circus is a
five-minute drive away, as is the Hollywood Wax Museum. There are a number of family-friendly restaurants across the street where guests can get discounts. The hotel offers free parking.
Rooms
Traditional, chain-like decor in spacious rooms and suites set back from the road
The suites
and rooms at the Best Western Music Capital Inn are large and comfortable, with traditional (albeit
chain-like) furnishings and plenty of amenities, including free Wi-Fi. Those traveling with children or looking for the most space should
book a connecting room or Family Suite. Standard rooms are the smallest, but still
offer a good amount of room. Each suite
includes a separate seating area, desk, microwave, flat-screen TV, mini-fridge, and coffeemaker. Bathrooms are larger than average and are spotlessly clean, but are similarly bland in style. There are also rooms with disabled access. Rooms are set back from the road and thus relatively quiet, but views are unimpressive.
Features
Free breakfast, indoor pool, tiny gym, and arcade room
Despite being a smaller budget property, the Best
Western Music Capital Inn has a number of features that make it convenient
for many types of travelers.
The gym is tiny and has no natural light, but many other value hotels in the area don't have one at all. The game room has a number of arcade games for kids. While the hotel does not have a restaurant, an extensive free breakfast is served daily, and the hotel is within walking distance of a
number of places to eat.
The gift shop is aimed at tourists and sells hats, stuffed animals, and knick-knacks.
The business center is small and has a couple of computers and a printer -- which
is useful for printing off theater tickets. The pool and hot tub are housed under a modern barn
roof; it's flooded with natural light, and is big enough for guests who are
looking to exercise. Parking is free.
