The Independence was very clean, the room was very nice. It was convenient and the staff was very pleasant. Even though they did not have a restaurant nor continental breakfast, they did give us a coupon for the restaurant /bar/arcade next door. We will stay there again. Near to Michigan Tech, but not walking distance.

Stayed here for just one night and it was great. Our room was right off the entrance and it was still very quiet. Room was spotless. Bed was firm yet very comfortable. We used the iron and it was much better than mine at home. Both employees I came into contact with at the desk were very kind and helpful. I highly recommend staying here.
