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.

We arrived 25 minutes before check in and asked if there was a room available, because we had a private call we needed to take ant 3pm and it was hot out in the car. There were a couple rooms available, but they were going to charge us $20. We begrudgingly agreed. By the time we got checked in, it was 2:45. We paid $20 for 15 minutes. I have driven across the country several times and never had that happen. We didn’t ask they make up a room that wasn’t ready, we didn’t call ahead and request it. We just asked for our already available room a bit early. I am not staying at any Best Western again.

I booked this hotel for my husband during his road trip, and unfortunately, he became very sick after eating the breakfast, especially the gravy. He had vomiting and nausea for several hours while driving that day. I reached out to the hotel. They were polite and offered a 15% discount for a future stay, but we won’t be coming back. I feel it’s important to share this experience so others can be cautious, especially with the breakfast.
