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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The hotel overall was very nice, but it wasn't until I had slept in the bed the night before and woke up the next morning to see a condom wrapper under the bed. Which makes me a litte concerned about the overall cleanliness of the rooms and if they were just made to look clean, not really clean. Also, we did not get in until about 1 am and then we recieved 3 wake up calls at about 5 am, when we did not ask for them. On the positive side, the breakfast was much better than we expected, but did not make up for the night before.

The room was a little small but was clean. The King bed we had was slightly uncomfortable because we think it was broken in the middle. The breakfast was good. The hotel was easy to find and in a convenient location.

Stayed in this hotel on 3/14-3/17. During my stay there I was in two rooms. Both of the rooms had leaks in the bathroom from the bathrooms above. The first time the change my room. The second time I told them about the second room leaking-the just filled out a report and did not offer me anything for my trouble. The heater/ac was leaking also. (Floor was wet in front of it)Would not stay or recommend this hotel.

The 2nd floor of this 3 floor hotel is designated "non smoking" but because the ventilation fan in the bathroom is wired to be on 24/7, the smoke smell from the people smoking on the other floors came into the room quite strongly. It was even worse in the hall. It was very bothersome, but there is nothing one can do about it. I don't recommend this hotel for non-smokers.

This was a great Hotel! The staff was friendly and rooms were excellent. Newly rennovated.\nI was traveling with my family and was looking for a great location to I-485 and uptown Charlotte only approx 7 minutes. The girls and I stayed there because it was close to uptown Charlotte. The rates were great! Would reccommend this hotel to anyone.\n\n

Aside from exiting the location (required a U turn to get to Independence Bl) nice stay normally could do it w/o a long wait. The room was clean though the main chair in it had a nasty looking permanent stain. The free breakfast was pretty standard but good, had fruits, Belgian waffles, bacon or sausage and eggs. Great value for the price would stay again.

The only negative, they try to cover up the smoke smell in the non smoking rooms
