My experience at this place was horrendous. First and foremost, I drove around for approximately 30 minutes looking for Independence Inn and could not find it. My GPS keeps taking me to Best Western. It was after midnight and I was tired so I decided to enter the Best Western building it was then I learned Western purchased it. Upon entering the room the smell of cigarette astray greeted me. I was too tired so I got in the bed. I woke up early open the blinds and to my dismay I slept in a dump. The carpet dirty, ceiling falling down and appeared to be water damaged. Paint stripping off the wall. The chair was broken, the drapes had what appeared to be dog poop or nutella rubbed on it. Believe me I've never seen a hotel room in a condition such as this. This place needs to be closed down with plenty of work done to it. With that said, the place has the potential to be good if renovation is done and old furniture replace.
