I had never been to Independence before, but after my stay here on business, I will most definitely return the next time I am in the area! The staff was friendly and accommodating, room well-equipped, and breakfast was delicious. I slept like a rock in the comfortable bedsheets and pillows and enjoyed the in-room wi-fi to get my work done.... More

I was very very upset by this experience!!! I rented the room for my daughter's 13th bday, upon arriving the desk clerk was very rude and told us if we were too loud we would be warned twice, and then fined and asked to leave. We reserved the room and dining area and thought our guests would be able to... More

I apologize if you feel you were treated in a "rude" manner. My staff strives on providing great hospitality and providing great customer service to ensure all of our guests have an enjoyable stay with us. As for our swimming policy, we can only allow REGISTERED guests in our pool area for insurance and safety policies. We hope you can... More

Overall stay at the hotel was good. I was surprised to find our room only partially cleaned when I checked in. We did not have any toiletries in our room, all trash cans were full from the previous guests & beds were not completely made. I told the front desk clerk when I left after checking in to meet my...

The hotel is a former Country Inn and Suites, so it is a nice hotel with a hardwood floor in the lobby and the trademark staircase going to the second floor. The hotel was clean and we saw the breakfast staff constantly wipe down tables, which is something I haven't seen very often at other places! The breakfast was large... More

We are often in the area visiting family and usually stay in another town at another chain hotel. We decided on this hotel because it was more upscale and we had some reward points to use. We were pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness of the hotel, a large, well appointed room, a totally NON-SMOKING Motel (in Iowa no less!) and... More

Over the years i have stayed at many hotels throughout the Midwest, and have to say this one ranks up there when it comes to cleanliness, accommodating staff and great rooms. When i checked in, the front desk gal, Briony, was very helpful with getting me into a room since i did not have a reservation made. Once i got... More

We did not realize that this hotel caters to weddings; this does not make for a peaceful sleep when you can hear the guests next door vomiting all night. The room was spotless, although I did not care for cheap air freshener that smelled like bad oranges. The hotel lobby has been tastefully decorated. We were very surprised by the... More
