Booked there for june 4-8th
Never heard of it. Where Is it located...
Since If your looking for a motel to stay at.. You should consider Classic Motor Inn. Several of us here stay here throughout the year, and have done so for over 3 years. As a SDCFans members we get a reduced rate of only 38.00 per night. any night, AND they are open all year long. No winter shutdown.
Rooms are updated,
Flat screens in some of the rooms
Pillowtops are available.
Wi-Fi of course.
Very nice continental Breakfast, pancakes, French toast, waffles, Biscuits and Gravy, toast, cereals, juices, Pretty nice little spread.
You might give them a try..
Call Katy at 417-334-6991, Make sure you identify yourself as a SDCFan member. The rate is special for us.
Isn't the Homestead the motel on 76 where Joel Manby stayed when he was on Undercover Boss? I think it is closer to US 65, same side of the road as the Baymont, Godfathers Pizza, etc.
Yes it is on 76.
I found Homestead on Tripadvsior, has good reviews, but only 27 people have left reviews? that's odd, They are rated #57 in Branson.. that's a good number.. thought I would look it up since I hadn't heard the name before.
Classic is rated #34 with 159 reviews,.
I noticed Homestead is locally owned, I forgot to mention the Classic owners are Local and actually live on site.. As well as the Manager (Katy) also lives on site..
Will you please stop talking about Classic Motor Inn!

Will you please reign in your aggressive attitude?
What? There are more hotels/motels than Classic Motor Inn in Branson and many are better. This site is a place to talk about SDC and Branson, not a commercial for Classic Motor Inn.

Not trying to be offensive or argumentative but Sanddune has as much right to discuss the Classic Motor Inn as you do the "Castle" and other things you bring up on this site. He is a very respected and appreciated member. He makes positive contributions and I enjoy reading all his posts, including his posts about Classic Motor Inn. It is much appreciated that he finds good, cheap places to stay that give SDC Fans member discounts.
i have only talked about any hotel/motel once. everybody else never stops talking about Classic Motor Inn. This is not a commercial! We all know how much you like it!
@ Gilligan & Josh, Thanks guys!
@ Laroy,
Typically I only post about Classic Motor Inn on that thread,
But In this thread a member was asking for "opinions". Exactly what I was doing.!
opinions with details and facts on Classic Motor Inn and Homestead that I have,,
There are several of us that stay at the Classic Motor Inn,
Oh wait you didnt hear me right? Yes we stay at The Classic Motor Inn,
Since we enjoy staying at The Classic Motor Inn,
We all like to the reduced rates we get at Classic Motor Inn,
Therefore we like to share the info about Classic Motor Inn with everyone..
ESPECIALLY if they ask for it.
SO please check that teenage attitude at the door when on this forum..
Thank you,

^ LOL!!! :D
I know you stay there, but dont do commercials all the time, change the subject to it, or talk about it when nobody asks. So check that at the door! This is supppst to be about Homestead, so please stay on topic.
@Sanddunerider ;D
^^I will allow it. SDR is on topic in showing a contrast between the two hotels.
Contrast is like a comparison. I saw no comparing, just a commercial saying "come to our motel".
Laroy, you are not a moderator, so you have no business mouthing off to sanddunerider. I'm ok with having classic's info posted around because they offer us a discount and are essentially the official hotel affiliated with this site. I hope we can answer the original question about what Homestead Motel is like, but sanddunerider's post is OK in this instance.
Homestead looks very reasonable on the surface. The vast majority of the reviews look good, so I'd give it a try. Let us know how it turns out.
The Classic is American owned, this matters to me and is becoming harder to find.
I have always found that people from my culture know what my expectations are when I stay and the Classic has not disappointed.
Upon further inspection it looks like I jumped to conclusions on the hotel. Its very similar to another hotel name I don't recommend. Please let us know how it worked out for you and if they gave you a good rate.

If I recall correctly, Homestead has a sign that says "American owned".
We have stayed at Classic Motor Inn many times great that they offer discount, been to Homestead awhile back wasn't thrilled with it but not horrible by any means. Becoming rather fond of Lodge at the Falls and both Angel Inn locations but as soon as summer peak prices hit we will be at Classic! Since we have large family we always get two rooms which requires us to be as thrifty as possible so exclusive discounts are awesome.
Thanks for the comments. Sorry I started a mini-crap storm. That Laroy. He's something.
No problem SDC BMX. I just try to make everybody happy, smiling, laughing, keep the peace, and say what most people are thinking. I try to find the good in everything and live every day like its my last. If I do or dont like something, you're gonna hear about it. I dont mean to be a harsh critic or be like Simon Cowell, but if something isnt right or someone isnt following the rules, I want it fixed.
I feel apart of this community, even though not many of you have made me feel that way. I am just like everyone else here. I want people to comment whenever they please. If anybody has any advice on how to do or say something better, dont worry, I wont hold it against you, just tell me. Im willing to try most things in this world. Some people think I might be crazy. Maybe I am, so what. But I feel like most of you look at everything different than I do, and thats probably why we get all this drama on here. Look at stuff from my point of view and maybe read my replies over and over again to yourself. There is no reason to be silent. We are all friends here. Remember, this is America. We have rights, one of them is Free Speech.
Thank you.

Do not be deceived by what advertising
insinuates. The sign on the motel says " The American Inn" or something very close but does not say American owned.
Have any doubts? call them and see if you can get a manager on the phone if they don't answer to start with. I think you will see quickly. I tried to stay there when the Classic was full because I had a dog and found this out.

Bottom of picture page. American owned. The lady I booked with is the owner, husband and her live on premises. Very nice lady. Gave me a SDC discount also. Pet friendly. She had no problem with me bringing my two dogs. Actually encouraged it.
Looks like a very nice hotel...if we didn't have our fifth wheel that we pull to the "Wilderness" we might try it out...

Sorry I was mixed up with the names and found that we are talking about another motel. I am going to yank my posts on this. I apologize.
What are the rates?
@ MH.. you were talking about the Old Homestay? Werent you? New name is American Eagle Inns & Suites.. After changeing owners and names 3 times last year, LOL.. who knows what they will call it next month... LOL.. Most of us know the history of that place, and to stay away from Homestay..!! Did I really say that? ...LOL..
@ SDC-BMW-, make sure you give a review of motel here on this thread after you stay...
I had also forgotten ( Oh No!, everybody hold on! ;D), Classic also has pet rooms and smoking rooms if you ask for them, same price, no added deposit or costs...
Classic never responded to my email about a room. So they are off my list of potentials this year.
I too hate constant plugs for business. As we should be tolerant of the product placement, we should be tolerant of the opinions of such.
I never Email for anything if I want to get a response..
Who knows if an email link is even working or the correct one now-a days,,
Give them a call, they appreciate the business..
The ladies will be glad to take care of you.. 417-334-8831
If your email link is not working, and you are advertising deals on forums, you have a broken business model.
Maybe I should be soliciting my website management skills here.
lol jstein ^^^ 👍👍👍
I also would like to solicit my annoying poster repellant

No apology. There is a very similar named one that I actually got mixed up with when talking to family. I believe $48 a night on rates. Little pricier than others. Heard the new laminate floors are nice though. No dirty carpet.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a plug for a business that has agreed to give us SDC fans a special rate. These hotel owners don't have to do that for us, and if they do it should be given notice to the board, especially to new members who may not know about it. I for one was glad to hear about the special rate when I used it two winter seasons ago. The Classic was a good hotel to stay in, and the price was fantastic (usually stay on the lake). If someone agrees to cut our club a deal, they do it for advertising purposes, and it deserves to be plugged every now and then. Thanks Sanddune for your work in helping us with this.
I can't believe people are making such a big deal about it. Laroy, I'm guessing you have no real world business experience and you also don't know how to be appreciative to those who do something nice even if they don't have to. Grow up. And your "free speech" lecture goes both ways. We have the freedom to tell you to stop saying mindless things.
I'm sure the Homestead is a fine establishment and I look forward to hearing a review. I hope BMW has a good experience and a good room...if he doesn't, he might want to consider the Classic next time, as many of us have had good experiences there with a great discount.
Maybe, since it irritates some members that instead of the constant repeat of information every time the subject of a place to stay comes up, A banner on the front page or a Sticky would be better.

Give it a rest, dude. This used to be a peaceful place. The climate is changing, and that's not a good thing.

Yes. People keep repeating it over and over again and I dont know why. Im sure everyone on this thread knows about the Classic deal by now because it has its own thread. Why not keep it in the thread?

I agree with you Gilligan...
I'm with Gilligan and josh. This is infuriating at times.
Patience all. This too shall pass.
Enough, you guys are once again raising trouble over nothing. I agree that perhaps Dan could tone down or rephrase how he tells people about the Classic discount, but every little thing that annoys people shouldn't lead to these long chains of quibbles. It's not hard to just skim past stuff.
