Loved staying at the Independence. Upon entering the building everything seemed comfortable and cozy. They have wonderful front desk employees, eager to help with any needs. Our family came and had dinner in the restaurant and of course we hit the daily breakfast bar. It’s quiet but also feels vibrant. I would definitely stay again.

Unfortunately the body wash in my room was empty upon arrival and when I asked the front desk, I was told none were available. the breakfast quality did not meet expectation with the juice tasting overly diluted. I do appreciate the housekeeping team for maintaining the room very well. But to be honest for the price i paid, I have experienced better value at other hotels.
