Best Western Music Capital Inn is at 3257 Shepherd of the Hills Expressway, a short walk from Branson's Promised Land Zoo (about 0.2 miles) and the IMAX Entertainment Complex (about 0.4 miles). The hotel puts the Highway 76 Strip at about half a mile, White Water about 1.2 miles, and the Titanic Museum and Hughes Brothers Theatre within two miles. The hotel has 93 rooms and is classed as a three-category property. Its wellness set is unusual for the price tier: a heated saltwater indoor pool, a hot tub, a sauna, and a steam room, plus a 24-hour fitness center and an arcade and game room. A hot breakfast buffet is included. It suits families who want a pool and games after a day of attractions without paying resort prices.
Rooms include standard rooms with one king or two queen beds, suites with sofa beds, accessible rooms, and rooms with jetted tubs. Each has a microwave, a refrigerator, and a coffee maker. The hot breakfast buffet runs from 6:30 to 10:00 AM daily. Other amenities include guest laundry, free Wi-Fi, a 24-hour business center, free self-parking, and RV and motorcoach parking.
Dogs are allowed, up to two per room at a maximum of 75 pounds each, with a daily fee and a deposit; the hotel says pet-friendly rooms are limited, so book early if you are bringing one.
Check-in begins at 4:00 PM, check-out is at 11:00 AM, and the minimum age is 18. Up to two children under 18 stay free in existing beds, free cribs are available on request, and rollaway beds carry a nightly charge. Early check-in and late check-out are available for a fee, subject to availability. Branson Airport is about a 22-minute drive.
Who should book it
Families with kids who want a pool, an arcade, and a hot breakfast; couples who like a sauna and steam room after a day of walking; and groups arriving by motorcoach or RV. Who should look elsewhere: travelers who want a lakeside setting or a full kitchen.
The hotel is a few minutes from several Shepherd of the Hills Expressway venues, which suits a shows-and-zoo trip. The combination of a saltwater pool and steam room is a good fit for winter visits, when outdoor pools are closed and a warm indoor space is worth more than a view.
