Hilton Promenade: Reader Review

See a reader's take on the new Hilton Hotel.

Caron Pollock calls the beds at the Hilton Promenade "pristine."
In March, Caron Pollock visited Branson from her suburban St. Louis home, and she rented a room at the Promenade in March with two of her daughters (one of whom is this magazine’s senior editor). Here are her takes:
  • “Very nice. It’s brand-new, so of course it’s nice. The beds were amazing—beautiful, you know, pristine white down everything. I have only been to one other hotel where I can brag about the bed, and that was in New York City.” (In fact, the beds are custom-designed for Hilton by Serta.)
  • “The Evelyn & Crabtree stuff in the bathrooms—my girls liked that.”
  • “We were on the 2nd floor, inside toward Branson Landing [with a balcony], where we could see the fountains and all the other stuff down there. It was really cool.”
  • “That being said, being on that side, you don’t realize how loud the music is. We liked the music; we were tickled pink because it wasn’t country, and we aren’t country. It was really loud, though. It came on at 8 a.m. Sunday morning, when we were sleeping, and it woke me up.”
  • “They charged us for parking. I’ve never been charged for parking at a hotel in my life. I shouldn’t have to pay $8 day for hotel parking.”
  • "Beautiful bathroom. It was huge, you could have had a party in there, but no bathtub.”
