The lounge at the Four Seasons Hotel is truly a hidden gem! The views from the rooms are absolutely breathtaking, offering panoramic vistas of the city skyline or the beautiful surrounding landscape. The lounge itself is elegantly designed, with comfortable seating and a relaxed ambiance. One of the highlights of the lounge is the steam bath, which is perfect for unwinding after a long day of sightseeing or business meetings. Additionally, the hotel offers a number of restaurant options, each serving delicious cuisine that caters to every palate. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner, a casual meal, or a quick bite to eat, the Four Seasons Hotel has you covered. Overall, the lounge at the Four Seasons Hotel is a wonderful place to stay, with its stunning views, luxurious amenities, and exceptional dining options.

The lobby is gorgeous and I’m sure the rest of the hotel was too at some point, but is currently VERY dated. The carpet in the hallways is bunching all over and looks terrible! The paint on the doors to the rooms is scuffed, stained and rubbed off in a lot of places. The pictures the hotel displays on the Internet are very deceiving and don’t really portray the hotel in 100% true light. We have stayed there 2 times and both times have had SOMEONE ELSES black hairs all over the beds! GROSS and NASTY! Whoever is cleaning these rooms needs to do better! GROSS! We had drove 6 hours in mostly thunderstorm type of weather with monsoon rain, and were ready to go to bed, however after the nasty hairs were discovered, I contacted the front desk to get CLEAN sheets (clean sheets should’ve already been on the bed BEFORE checkin - JS) and almost an hour later they were FINALLY delivered! I feel like Sponge Bob Cartoon - 1 Hour Later (She was super nice!) The next issue - we checked into a Non Smoking room and there was a slight odor in the room that smelled like lingering cigarette smoke. As the night went on it got 100% worse - like make me sick to my stomach worse. I have no clue if it was coming from outside, the room above, the room below or either rooms beside ours but IT WAS TERRIBLE! The cigarette smoke finally tapered off around 1:30am. The water pressure in the showers are bad, we had to turn the shower head from the normal setting to the pulsing setting in order to get the soap and shampoo rinsed off. The parking situation is terrible, no place to park especially when the front desk tells you to park in the back because it will be closer to your entrance.My one compliment is how nice the staff is!! Every person we encountered that night was super nice!

DO NOT STAY HERE! THEY ARE CONARTIST AND WILL STEAL FROM YOU. I booked this room only to read the most awful reviews. When I canceled the reservation a week before the reservation date, I was told my credit card could not be refunded and they would mail me a check. When I refused they offered to apply it to another card? That's when I realized I was dealing with a con artist.I had to call my credit card company and get a new credit card. We still have not received the almost $500 bill and we never stayed at the hotel. DO NOT stay at the this hotel and DO NOT give them any credit card information. They will steal from you. Worst customer service ever and not to be trusted.

First things first, for everyone making review please be honest and don’t sell others a DREAM! My 100% experience and honesty. To be completely honest hotel location is perfect, beautiful (outdoor) sight, lake,(outdoor) atmosphere is wonderful. Hotel rooms are awful no words could explain to sum everything in one. Don’t have the time nor the day to go fully into details😒 But please beware if you’re reading reviews “DO NOT” book here guys I’m warning you especially with children! I’m begging😩 but hey, go on ahead only if you’re desperate!!!! Horrible, very much sickening. All the money you spend and rooms are terrible. I will be contacting corporate definitely. Unbelievable, was definitely frustrated and started to cry after viewing rooms getting my hopes up!!!! The bay rooms deserves a 0 rating no type of lies here! Really wish I took pics but walked out room so fast due to disappointment and unbearable room sight! Torn and stained blinds, pillow cases stained, bed sheets unfolded, balcony stabled, bathroom looks like a motel (no lies) bedroom floors carpet stained and smells, door paint peeling/chipping omg etc; Vacation was definitely ruin😞 Blood sugar dropped tremendously low due to my frustration and stress. I’m done here! PLEASE BEWARE travelers!!!!!!!! 100% honesty

The service was great- Danielle at front desk was super nice. I was excited about staying at a 4 seasons hotel and was disappointed about the actual hotel. Very old and outdated, lukewarm water in the very old shower. We had dinner at the hotel restaurant which we enjoyed our server Chelsea was great. It just did not feel like what I thought the 4 seasons would be!

The hotel and spa staff were kind of snooty and seemed annoyed at any questions i had. The heated pool and outdoor pool was amazing and i loved the firepits. The food was good, and the drinks at the bar were better. The bartender was so kind and she did really great with the drinks. The rooms were really nice but the shower head was kind of broken and made a really awful sound + had barely any water the whole time. Overall 3.9

This was the most disappointing hotel experience I've ever had. I thought I was treating myself to nice accommodations while in town for a conference. The tub was dirty and had hair in it, the sink was leaky and flooded the bathroom counter with water, the heater was rusty and loud; it woke me up numerous times during the night. The water in the shower went back and forth between scalding hot and freezing cold and would never stabilize. Some of the towels were dirty like they had been dropped on the ground outside. The outdoor area leading to the rooms is carpeted. Since it had rained, it was very musty and dirty. I honestly probably could have tolerated some of that. However, there was a door to the outside patio area that was the reason I had to cancel my three night stay after just one night. The blinds were cut or broken around the door handle and anyone could have seen into my room. The lock was also not secure. It would lock but you could still open the door about an inch. It was absolutely not okay. I checked in late and it was already about 10:00 PM at this time, and I had to be somewhere at 6:00 AM the next morning so I honestly did not have the time or energy to deal with it then. Luckily I was able to find accommodations elsewhere the next day in between meetings. The person who checked me in at my new hotel commented that she knew all about how bad Four Seasons is and that they are apparently closing down. I guess this means they aren't even trying to fix basic safety issues. Stop booking people, or at least be honest with your pictures of rooms and don't charge people more than $40 a night for something worse than I can expect at a roadside motel.Worst hotel experience of my life.The ONE redeeming quality was the staff at the front desk. They were nice. But that is it.Rooms: Dirty, dated, unsafe, musty

My husband and I enjoyed our off-season stay because we loved all of the history of this resort. The photos of celebrities in the restaurant were great, as well as the holiday decor. The staff was so accommodating also. I’d say the rooms and hotel overall could use some TLC as far as upgraded bedding and touch-up paint here and there. Lots of steps-so it may be difficult for those who need ramps.Rooms: Rooms were fine not fabulous.Food & drinks: Great service at dinner but breakfast was slow and inattentive on a Saturday morning.

Overall give it about a 3.2. Great service, needs some TLC, not handicap accessible.The service 5 stars: staff was amazing and friendly, even when kids were prank calling the front desk Danielle was professional about it.The hotel 3 stars: 60's themed which is nice. Only issue is there is rotted wood everywhere you look outside, it's not new rot either been there a few years and is getting worse, some yearly maintenance would solve this. Paint peeling over the place and some panels of wood missing. The Japanese rooms are beautiful main issues is the door needs blinds on the door, as when you leave the room the curtains are open and anyone can see in your room.Handicap accessible 1 star: from the main lobby you can go to the normal rooms which have 2 elevators which one was out. But to get down to hallway with the pool, spa, movie theater, and bar you need to leave out the main lobby and go in thru the pool doors. However there is no way to the pool, spa or movie theater. The pool has a handicap into the pool, but only way to the pool is down about 20 feet of stairs. There is a closed up door that use to have a spiral staircase that went into a family space. This space has been turned into a bar and the door boarded up. The simple solution is to redo the bar unboard this door and add a service elevator for the handicap. From this the spa is right there on the other side of the pool wall. Could add a door to both the theater and the spa. The movie theater is a nice touch but the only microwave is across the whole lodge.

We checked in and our toilet wouldn’t flush! The chain was rusted and broke inside! The mini fridge would not get cold. It took to 11:30 pm for the toilet to be fix! We spent a lot of money for two nights! I ask for a roll away bed and was told $20.00. All the money I am spending this weekend this is not ok! We are here for gymnastics and my kids had to stuffer

Rooms not being cleaned. Had to ask for towels. Had an ada room and no pull bar. Took me 15 minutes to get my wife out of tub. Food was good and service in HKs was good. Carpet needs replaced badly. Lucky to have discount from conference and still over priced.Rooms: Not cleanSafety: No pull bars in ADA room.Carpet in poor shape everywhere and rolled in spots

Stayed for a conversation last weekend. Not impressed. Balcony and view very pleasant but as far as the room goes that's about it. Heat vent was covered in dust, desk was sticky, mold in the shower, Jacuzzi tub blew out mold when the pump was on and walls where filthy, towels where thteadbare. Now to the beds..first night I could not keep the sheets on the bed. The mattress pad was on inside out. Blood stain on the side that should have been out. Mattress had stains on both sides (yes flipped it), pillow cases where super yellowed. Found candy and chips on the floor around the beds. No ice machine in Avila. Staff was amazing but severely short handed..main lodge was beautiful, I personally love the vintage feel. Would have been nice if the coffee bar was fully staffed and had a few more options..my group meets here every year but think I will look at some of the surrounding lodges next year..the room I had was right up there with motel 6..rm was 15116 and it needs alot of attention.Rooms: Dirty and nasty .Noteworthy details: Fantasy staff.

The room my husband and I are staying in is a joke! We paid 209 before taxes and during the downtime of year, this is our Anniversary and we were so excited until we opened the door to our room. Our room is called the Lanai more like lajoke! We have one chair to sit in unless you roll over the desk chair. The room is so out of date and needs a face lift more than I do. The bathroom looks like a mobile home bath, very small and not clean. The toilet lid sits off to the side so you better hold on! I won't even walk on the carpet with my socks on. Holes in the lamp shade maybe it's a new trend? And that's just a few things I saw. I will not be back, very sad to see a property go down hill and this one looks like it's about to have its final days.Rooms: I am lost for words, not worth the price.

I love Lodge of Four Seasons. The restaurants are good and the pools and activities at the hotel are great. I love the style of the hotel and the Japanese garden. The hotel is also left but loved, clean and solid. I stay here about every two months when I come to the area. Never unhappy with this hotel.Nearby activities: Stark Caverns Tour, Ha Ha Tonka state park stone mansion remnants, Ozark Lake state park hikes, movie theater nearby and free movies at hotel rooms each night.

The Resort was built in 1964, and while the common spaces in the main lodge have been updated, the rooms seemingly have not. This is not to impune the other rooms, only the ones in the main lodge. It appears that they have never been fully renovated (i.e. gutted and rebuilt) and there are still plenty of design elements from last century. For example, a telephone in the bathroom is completely unnecessary and screams "outdated".The resort itself is self-contained with golf, a spa, a marina and more, located directly on the lake, and is very good. If they only bothered to reinvest in the rooms, it would increase in value in my estimation.

Currently here and feeling frustrated. There are groups of kids (13-16) running the halls and knocking on doors. Ours has been twice. It's past midnight. For the price and "upscale" this lodge holds I'm surprised they don't stop this. I called the front desk and was told there was nothing realistically they could do. So here we are on our engagement getaway dealing with disrespectful teens and unhelpful staff. Smh. Won't recommend to anyone or stay again. Want refund for our night 😡

Imagine a hotel from the 60's that has never been updated or renovated. It's only one day away from being on a show called "abandoned resort explorations" or something like that. The buildings are in such decay with gigantic pieces just rusted away and missing. That can't be safe.It has creepy vibes throughout the property, like your being watched by a creeper the whole time. The pool has big windows on the first and second floor with one-way mirror glass, and cameras pointed at the pool and hot tub, but not the outdoor pool? Disgusting. Nobody was comfortable swimming here. Pool was clean, because a green pool makes it harder to creep on people I guess. The stairs down to the dock/fire pit area feel like they are made so people sitting down there can see you from every angle, as you walk down the stairs.The layout is a nightmare, it seems to be designed by someone who was very high. Impossible to find your way around with random locked doors. The landscaping is terrible. Rooms have tubs separating from the walls. Room numbers are painted different colors of green. Lot's of "keep out" "don't do this" "don't do that", rusty and cobwebbed "closed for maintenance" signs everywhere. There was a nice dock for sitting on and overlooking the lake, but the gate was welded shut. And the dock boards were falling into the lake. The restaurant was claimed to be 5 stars, not even close, they serve frozen vegetables and instant mashed potatoes. It feels like something out of "the back rooms." This place is creepy. This would make a great episode for "Kitchen Nightmares" with Gordon Ramsay. I would pay to watch that, as long as I never have to come here again. Most awful hotel experience I have ever had. It's like a motel 3 with a theme. I'm sure it was used for some crazy wild parties back in the 70's, it's just gross. No thanks 👎Rooms: Gross old broken worn out nasty crusty leaky freakyFood & drinks: Five stars? More like five school lunch ladies got together and had a food fight.

Just stayed there off season 10-27-2023. Staff was amazing. The room had an amazing view of the lake and absolutely loved the clean super comfortable beds. Fell in love with this place and it's charm. The only thing I would .like to see is an update with the bath shower/tub. Tubs just aren't my thing. I like walk in glass/tile showers and that's just me probably because I'm old at 60, :-). Thank you again for an awesome weekend.

Very honest review. It is worth it to go here. The pools are great and there are 3 of them. The poolside bar is nice and the drinks were good. The place is beautiful, if you get a room with the lake view it’s beautiful to wake up too. on the other hand the rooms were very outdated. The carpet and furniture is very old. There is no fan in the bathroom so after showers it smells like water has been sitting in the room. The beds were not uncomfortable and everything seemed clean. But if the rooms were updated it would have been so much nicer to stay in. So yes id come here again, but don’t expect luxury in the room aspect of the stay.

It's a wonderful location, however the place needs some serious updates. We hosted a large group event here and found the staff to be difficult to work with and unprofessional. I think with the right owners or management this place could be truly remarkable.Rooms: The rooms are very dated. Many of our guests found the rooms dirty with unclean bedding.

It is one of the more senior locations, but it is still a great place to stay. The location is amazing, but the staff were outstanding (just like in their HK's Restaurant)! Special shout out to Katie, who greeted us so warmly we felt like we were truly welcomed there. Highly recommend this location.Rooms: Rooms were very clean and neat.Walkability: There are lots of places to walk around the Lodge and along the waterfront. We were there in January, and I can only imagine how beautiful the grounds would be in warm weather.

Warning! This is not Four Seasons, IT'S Motel 6Its a fire hazard. They have hidden fees that they dont tell you and will not clean your room, they said it due to Covid. I said we are past covid. If you go into the dining room its seats like 500 and you will see at least 3 people. I walked out after food poisoning and no wonder they have food expired. not enough revenue. Complete dump and will never return to the STATE

We are staying one night at the Four season lodge in Lake of ozarks cause we saw the price was almost identical as others hotels in the area, so..a four season seemed so much better! But no. The hotel needs definitely maintenance and an updated URGENT. Beds are old and making noises, floor seems dirty, idk looks like and 70-80’s movie. Im sorry but it is. If you can go to a Holiday inn or la quinta and you’ll get breakfast at least. Im sorry to say this cause the best thing so far was a great lunch we had in the restaurant and the staff seems nice. But not worth the money. Everything seems like it needs maintenance and a deep clean

This hotel is in a great location with very nice & genuine staff. However, the website is very deceiving.The hotel feels dirty, and it is dirty. Our room was on the 4th floor, one of the elevators was out of service, the working one felt very unstable - it would shake and is likely due for inspection.Our room was very 1970’s like, the bathroom was honestly gross. We had to lay a towel on the bathtub floor to take a shower bc of the gross dirty stains. The bath towels that were supposed to be clean, smelled like wet dog. The shampoos and soaps provided are gross, I’d recommend bringing your own.The room needs a serious renovation make over. Our small patio required we law down a plastic pipe as a locking mechanism (I cannot make this up).There is a A LOT of opportunity for this property if they put Private Equity or Investor money (several millions likely) to overhaul and renovate this place.The doors to the rooms are old, our keys stopped working on two occasions - that needs to be updated.They have a garden that has beautiful views of the lake. The rooftop bar was interesting, again a lot of potential if they added some better lighting, gas fire pits etc.Again the staff and property location were great, the hotel itself is not as nice as it appears online.

Was first put in seasons bay the rooms that are not attached to the main part of the hotel. The room was kind of like it was in the basement and had zero cell service or WiFi. Phone in the room also didn't work. The decor was outdated. I went back to the front desk and asked to be moved to a better room in the main building. I was upgraded to a suite in the third floor. The decor in the main building has been updated some and looks much better than the other building. Over all the stay was good once I was moved.Rooms: Seasons bay is outdated and needs a lot of work in my opinion. The main building is where you want to be.Walkability: Be prepared to walk if your looking to visit the in house restaurants or book for a conference. It's a large property and has many areas to explore.

I absolutely agree with other reviewers when they say this place is OUTDATED! I felt like I was stepping into an episode of the Brady Bunch when we arrived. Just the whole vibe of the place including the stuffy air inside just kind of put me off from the moment we stepped into the lobby. On the outside it appeared decent at most. The location is really what sold us since it’s right next to the lake. The price of the rooms couldn’t be beat but after arriving we could clearly see why.The hours for their restaurants and shops were weird. Everything was open for only a specific time. They had one restaurant that was basically only open for breakfast/brunch but closed around 3pm. Then their steak restaurant was open for dinner only. We had originally planned on trying the steak restaurant but after reading the reviews of the subpar food and service we decided to try somewhere else off of the hotel grounds.We arrived early and tried checking in but they’re advised us that our rooms were not ready yet and they took down our names to give us a call when they were ready. We didn’t mind that, we ended up walking around the hotel to see the resort. Honestly everything was just so outdated and it felt like a complete ghost town. The hotel is huge, I know they have way too many rooms that aren’t being occupied. The resort feels like it was popular about two decades ago but now it’s just sad.When we finally got to our rooms it was exactly what I expected at that point. Yes, it was larger than any other standard hotel room but that’s really where the positives ended. I was honestly scared to walk on the carpet, it felt so old. Everything about the room screamed 70’s. It’s like they hadn’t updated anything since the hotel originally opened. The bathroom was a bit questionable for cleanliness too.But our view from the room was nice! We had a partial view of the lake. The patio furniture consisted of two dirty plastic chairs. The way they have the patios set up is a bit suspicious too. The bars to the rooms next door are very wide so almost anyone can just walk onto your patio. I didn’t like that aspect because of safety issues.If you’re looking for a cheap place to stay in Lake Ozark then The Lodge of Four Seasons is it! Just be expected to be transported to the 70’s and stay there until you check out.

Was there for a work conference. My room was great other than my bathroom floor was hairy & obviously hadn't been mopped\cleaned properly. I didn't utilize really any services, not sure if it was the hotel that catered our conference provided breakfast and lunch, but I felt the breakfast was bland & the sausage provided gave me a really bad belly ache. I heard several colleagues who are vegan\vegetarian comment on the lack of choices available to them. But as I said, not sure if the hotel provided that food or if the conference brought it in from elsewhere.
