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.
