Vacation in Independence at the Independence

My husband and I had a great experience. The independence is in a beautiful location. They are very dog friendly. There is a nice cocktail and breakfast area. Our room was comfortable and clean. I especially liked our enclosed patio area that looked over the local park and river. It was nice being just a block away from the main street and able to get local food coffee pastries. There’s also nice bookstores and antique shops.
