This was a handicap room. The chair in the shower was dirty. The room had several holes in the walls that had started to be patched. The air conditioning did not work. I had added my son as the person checking in. It was extremely difficult to get him access without being there. I would appreciate a refund

Stay anywhere but here!

Absolutely horrible! Was given a room that was not ready and was switched to room that looks like Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown stayed the weekend. The air conditioning has a distinct smell that is a cross between dirty feet and goat cheese. There was nothing “Best” about this Best Western… I should have just slept in my car in the parking lot!

The main issue we had is the room was damp and had a moldy smell. Everything else about our stay there was great. Because our stay was short, we didn't contact management about the issue, so it's not clear how they would respond or if it was the one room or if all of them are like that. We have not yet received our deposit refund either but are sure this will be resolved soon.

The room was very dirty, stinky and it was very uncomfortable to stay in the room with the smell. It was loud and didn’t feel safe. The pool was so small. Staff kind of rude. For the price I paid, I am not happy! It was expensive but bad service

Unfortunately the breakfast area is quite small. And the cook was the only one cooking and serving until a young man was called from the front desk to help It was over crowded due to several baseball teams staying and I know that help is hard to get so those were extenuating circumstances. With taxes and charges it cost over $300 for 2 nights. I don’t think we would stay there if we came back to Independence again.

Horrible Experience

I had high hopes for this place due to the overall ratings, but was extremely disappointed. We got a suite, and the room was very dirty. There was hair on the sheets, in the tub, and all over the floor in the bathroom. There were cobwebs in the corner and stains on the shower liner. We told the person at the front desk who asked if we would be fine for the night and they would have housekeeping clean in the morning. We put the doortag on the door, and the only thing house cleaning did was make the bed and take out the trash. Due to my allergies, we had to leave early and was told that the person would ask her manager about a refund and give us a call. I have called back twice and have not heard back from the manager. We will not be going back to this hotel again.

Outside is clean and quiet. However the floors, especially in the room was sticky and dirty. After walking around the room in my bare feet. I took a shower and black stuff from the bottom of my feet just washed off as soon as the water hit my feet. It was gross. After the shower I walked across the floor to the bed, and after just those few steps my feet where black again. The Air conditioning unit in our room was broke and it was hot. At first we were told there was nothing they could. Later after we complained the person at the front desk said they would get in trouble but they would switch us to another room where the air worked. We thanked them for their kindness. However this could have been a problem.
