To be honest these are reasons why i think staying there right now would be perfect. Not a huge fan of crowds, so its a win win. I don't need a ton to entertain me and the university hotel in springfield is less than glamorous not to mention it is a bit of a hike if its a cold night (i don't drive when I am going to a bar etc)

In Branson stay at the Hilton promenade and ask for a room in the south tower. It will not be hopping down there mid week this time of year.

As for Springfield, the university plaza is long overdue for some upgrades. But I'm not sure of better options downtown. There are nicer places to stay near better bars and restaurants on the South side.

There is plenty of fun stuff to do in Branson this time of year. People who tell you that Branson will be dead are wrong. Christmas season is Branson's biggest time of year, and Christmas season pretty much starts after Halloween.

If you have time, drive to Big Cedar Lodge and then eat dinner at Top of the Rock. You will get a very good idea what that place is like for future reference. Once you see it...you'll most certainly come back. It's about a 15 minute drive from the Hilton on the Promenade. Hwy 65 to Hwy 86.

You must see Big Cedar Lodge and Top of the Rock.

Paradise.
