Smoking rooms?

Question

Does anyone know of a hotel,motel,motor Lodge that has smoking rooms in the Branson area.

Answer

Short answer: yes — there are still some motels and smaller hotels in the Branson area that advertise smoking rooms or smoking-friendly patios/balconies, but many larger chains are smoke-free and policies change frequently. Always call the property to confirm availability and where you may smoke on the property (in-room smoking vs. designated outside areas).

Below are specific properties that are commonly listed as having smoking rooms or smoking-friendly rooms in Branson (based on current travel-site listings and local motel pages). Treat this as a short list to call — confirm room type and any fees or designated smoking rules when you book.

Angel Inn — Central / Angel Inn Near IMAX (Travelodge-style) — these budget Inns are repeatedly shown on booking sites under “hotels with smoking rooms” for Branson. If you want a simple, no-frills stay with the option to smoke in a room or on a balcony, these are worth calling.
Green Gables Inn / Caprice Motor Inn / Oak Grove Inn — small motels that explicitly state they offer both smoking and non-smoking rooms on their own websites or local listings. Motels like these are often the most reliable place to find an actual smoking room.
Ozark Valley Inn / Outback Roadhouse Motel — these properties come up on TripAdvisor and other travel lists as offering smoking rooms or smoking-permitted room types; they’re typical examples of older motels that still keep smoking rooms.
Economy chain motels (Super 8 / Rodeway / Days Inn variants) — some individual franchise locations in the Branson area appear on booking engines under “smoking rooms” (not every location — so check the specific hotel page and call to confirm). Booking sites sometimes filter for “smoking rooms” and will show which local franchised properties currently list them.
Smaller independent motor inns along the Strip / Shepherd of the Hills Expy — several smaller properties clustered around the theater district are frequently listed as smoking-friendly (examples above like Caprice Motor Inn, Oak Grove Inn). These are good first calls if you want to stay in the heart of the shows.

Practical tips and what to ask when you call

Ask explicitly: “Do you have an in-room smoking room available, or only outdoor smoking areas?” Many places only allow smoking outside or on balconies now.
Confirm any extra cleaning or deposit fees for smoking rooms — some hotels charge more or restrict which floors allow smoking.
If an in-room smoking room is not available, ask about a ground-floor room with an exterior door or a room with a balcony/patio where smoking on the private balcony is permitted. Many guests find these acceptable.
Consider alternatives if you can’t find an in-room option: (a) book an entire Airbnb/rental that allows smoking (hosts will indicate rules), (b) stay at a campground/RV park, or (c) choose a motel that allows outside smoking near your door. These give more flexibility than big hotels. (Local message boards/reddit/facebook groups also sometimes list “smoker-friendly” short-term rentals.)

Final note: listings for “hotels with smoking rooms” on Expedia/Travelocity/TripAdvisor can be a quick way to find current candidates, but properties open/close and change policies — so the fastest reliable method is to call the hotel directly (and request a smoking room confirmation number or have the agent note it on your reservation).
