Ballparks Inn

Comfy, budget-friendly base near Branson's top live shows

Located just off Gretna Road, Ballparks Inn is a simple, no-fuss hotel in Branson that puts you within walking distance of some of the city's biggest entertainment attractions. With clean, air-conditioned rooms, free Wi-Fi, and free private parking, it's an ideal spot for concert lovers looking for a convenient and affordable place to crash between shows.

Just an 11-minute walk to the Titanic Museum and less than a mile to the Mickey Gilley Theatre, this hotel is all about location and value. Rooms come with a mini-fridge, flat-screen TV, and modern private bathrooms – everything you need to recharge after a night of live music.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel shines when it comes to proximity. You can easily walk to major venues like the Andy Williams Moon River Theater or catch a short ride to Branson Landing. The quiet setting makes it a great place to wind down post-show, and since check-in starts at 3:00 PM, you'll have time to settle in before your evening event. The early 8:00 AM check-out might be a bit brisk, but if you're heading out early or continuing a road trip, it works.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want an affordable stay near Branson’s live music scene
• Solo travelers catching a bucket-list concert
• Couples enjoying a weekend music getaway
• Fans who prefer a quieter, low-key recovery space
• Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value with comfort

Food and Drink Options

While Ballparks Inn doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, its central location means you’re never far from a bite. Walkable spots on Gretna Road offer quick meals pre- or post-show. There’s no room service or late-night dining on-site, but each room comes with a fridge, so bring your own snacks or leftovers to store. Breakfast isn’t offered, so plan ahead if you're sleeping in after a late night.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself is pretty quiet, you’re close to Branson’s nightlife. Bars and lounges near the theaters offer everything from live country music to laid-back drinks. Whether you're into toe-tapping honky-tonk or a relaxed cocktail, you'll find something nearby.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the clean rooms, friendly staff, and convenient location. Many reviews mention the value for money and the easy access to Branson’s main attractions. It’s a solid, no-frills option that gets the job done for concert-goers who care more about the show than hotel extras.

Areas for Improvement

The 8:00 AM check-out is a bit early, especially after a late night out. Some guests felt the rooms could use a few more modern touches or amenities, and since there’s no breakfast, you’ll need to make a morning food plan.

The Bottom Line

If you're catching a concert in Branson and want an affordable, fuss-free place to stay nearby, Ballparks Inn is a solid pick for easy access and quiet comfort.
