Its cheap and in a safe neighborhood. Unfortunately the hotel needs a new carpet, rooms renovated, HVAC needs to be fixed, elevator needs to be fixed and people not smoking near the rooms. I could smell weed inside my room all night.
3.1
Not what I expected. The hotel was not in good condition. I had to change rooms two times. The lamp was broken and exposed in one room, the air didn’t work in the other room, I finally got a room that was decent. The elevator was sketchy. The rooms smelt terrible. TV had basic cable/sports channels, not a variety to watch. Would not recommend.
3.1
I was in a room at the end of the hallway and someone kept going in and out the door to a balcony? I think they were going to smoke. The door would SLAM everytime they went in and out and it would scare me awake. One time they got locked out I guess and started beating on the door to be let in. The smell of weed smoke and cigarettes was entering the room from outside. The bed was hard and springy. There was no vent fan in the bathroom. Bath faucet had a constant drip leak. Over was just a stressful experience.
3.1
The staff were kind, the carpet needs to be changed, the couches had stained, elevator needs to be fixed, the room smelled like smoke and every morning the hallways around 8am to 9am smelled like pot.

Upon arrival, the desk clerk was less than friendly. She had an infant behind the counter who was crying. We booked 2 double rooms but ended up getting 2 king rooms with a pullout sofa For 6 of us! The clerk said that there was nothing she could do. Diue to us being in town for a concert we just sucked up and dealt with the inconvenience. The hotel smelled of cigarette and marijuana smoke. The other guest across from our room must of been having a party all night. We complained but nothing was done. We didn’t get any sleep because of this. Not to mention the mold in the shower and the beds being hard as a rock. This place is nothing but a cheap hotel disguised as a holiday inn express. 10/10 do not recommend to anyone! Oh and you have to pay $100 deposit in case anything is damaged. But the criminal activity next door didn’t. Crazy.

People all in the parking lot late at night very dirty and unsafe

Great

My experience at this place was horrendous. First and foremost, I drove around for approximately 30 minutes looking for Independence Inn and could not find it. My GPS keeps taking me to Best Western. It was after midnight and I was tired so I decided to enter the Best Western building it was then I learned Western purchased it. Upon entering the room the smell of cigarette astray greeted me. I was too tired so I got in the bed. I woke up early open the blinds and to my dismay I slept in a dump. The carpet dirty, ceiling falling down and appeared to be water damaged. Paint stripping off the wall. The chair was broken, the drapes had what appeared to be dog poop or nutella rubbed on it. Believe me I've never seen a hotel room in a condition such as this. This place needs to be closed down with plenty of work done to it. With that said, the place has the potential to be good if renovation is done and old furniture replace.

Clean room, friendly staff & nice breakfast

3.1
Good hotel for the price. Dated and could use some upgrading especially in the bathrooms
3.1
The hotel was clean, and the staff very accommodating. Breakfast was good, with both hot and cold options that were good quality.
That said, the overall stay was very uncomfortable. The bathroom fan was loud and could not be turned off. It would come on and off for no apparent reason, including running until 3-4am and not turning on for morning showers. The room came with a mini fridge, but that was also obnoxiously loud whenever it came on. Ended up turning it off at night so we could sleep.
Two of the four days of our stay, our card keys all just stopped working. Front desk staff was very helpful in resetting them, but they didn't ask for any ID and just swiped the cards. I could have given them a different room number and just walked into someone elses room.
Lastly, the king bed was very hard and uncomfortable. I have a Sleep Number bed at home and go with a 35 out of 100. This bed was probably a 90. I ended up putting the cushions from the pullout sofa bed onto the king bed and slept atop those.
While I have stayed in worse places, I recommend looking at other hotels.

The front desk young lady was pleasant & professional. Our room was semi clean, as there was French fry & straw paper under the footrest when I moved it! The hotel as a whole was fine, however the people in the room next to ours were SO loud & there “activity” had our headboard and bed pillows moving on our bed! I know you can’t control the guests LOUDNESS and doors banging all night, but we got no sleep Saturday night!
3.1
For the most part, my stay was a breeze. Staff was friendly, checked us in quickly and our room was clean. The elevator needs fixing. It was scary to ride on it due to the sounds and stuff of that nature.
3.1
customer service was good. elevator was not working and the air in the room would not turn on. the breakfast was good
3.1
Area was good for our needs. Hotel was ok. Breakfast was fine. Our first room was missing towels. Since we checked in at 11 pm i guess no one could get us towels. So they moved us to another room. But the other room had an old tv that didnt have the movie we were watching and it had a growing bubble in the ceiling that looked like the ceiling was going to give way any second. Was an average travel stay hotel. Had better and def had worse

Toilet handle was broke. It was reported to the front desk but not fixed before we left. No maid service. Just wanted to have fresh towels.
3.1
The hotel was noisey and not up to date
3.1
Kids of the workers are there playing loudly in the hallway all day. Playing football outside the door to my room, bouncing basketballs up and down the hall from 8am until 8pm. Laying in the hallway, or lobby floor. Seems like a regular thing there.
3.1
Roaches on the nightstand crawling around after I moved the lamp. The crawled down into the floor and I couldn’t find them. Super creeped out.

Clean environment, neat rooms.
3.1
The property was nice on the outside but the room smelled like cigarettes. I ask to change my room, it was changed and that smelled like cigarettes too. The staff were very nice to me, but those rooms need a good cleaning. Everything needs to be washed and shampoo those rugs.
3.1
Wasn’t bad but definitely needs some updating in rooms. Staff was great
3.1
Everywhere inside the hotel smells smoke cigarettes and something else.
3.1
Fourth time booking a room and receiving correspondence that there was no need to confirm my reservation, then upon arrival to the hotel being told that there is no vacancy. This has happened too often and with little to no action taken in reference to the many hours I've wasted and sacrificed
3.1
Nothing unique. Just a regular 2.5 rated hotel. Toilets need work. The elevators too.
3.1
It was clean and quiet The buffet breakfast was great.
3.1
Room was clean and quite. Breakfast was very good. 24 hour coffee in lobby was great for me
3.1
Dark in the hallways
3.1
The housekeeper never turned in medication she found in the room. Had to switch rooms because the the door would not auto lock. The toilet in the second room
Kept running and eventually got stopped up. The hall is very dark.
3.1
Good enough for a cheaper hotel option that included breakfast. Wasn’t a healthy one, but one less thing for me to worry about.
3.1
My stay was interrupted by an unwanted creepy crawly friend in the bathroom. Very large very upsetting.
3.1
We stayed at the property February the 23rd and the 24th and the room was clean it needs a little TLC some painting some touch up other than that the bed was really nice the bathroom was clean the carpet was clean it was dusted. The parking lot was full of trash it actually popped my back tire. The dining room was clean Carmen the lady that helped with breakfast was amazing a beautiful woman she had a beautiful spirit very very helpful the lady in the morning crew a young lady I don't remember her name she was a Mexican lady she was so helpful and so honest and such a sweet young lady the afternoon ladies were very rude and disrespectful. There was two different ladies in the afternoon they didn't even say hello or look up for any reason. Both of them were African American and I am not trying to be racist I'm just saying the truth. The third floor is where we stayed and it needs a lot of TLC the hallway is very dark people are slamming doors smoking weed and being very disrespectful we had to move rooms because the room next to us was loud and never spoke to weed and they just didn't care. So I think you need to fix the problem with the hallway and make sure you guys are really talking to people look at their face and make sure that they're being honest enough not to go in the room and smoke weed thank you what I stay there again yes
