Only hotel I have stayed where you could not split the bill. Was told I could by another staff member and I could do that at check out. Only to check out to no can’t do that except by manager who was not there??? The back door was open around the clock. When I told the desk staff the reply was yes we know reported it 2-3 days ago and don’t know when it will be fixed. Concerning that anyone could walk in Location was great. Loved the sign in elevator that yes it creaks loudly and has been inspected it acts like Patrick Mahomes in The 4th quarter

We arrived at 3:10 pm, check in after 3 . Room was not ready. We waited about 15 minutes and they gave us the keys to our room. It was not ready. The manager personally took us to another room which also wasn't ready. He then took us to another room which we stayed in. We got settled in the room about 4 pm. Staff was helpful and polite.

Road trip

Comfortable beds, friendly, helpful staff. Clean room and hallway. Quiet. The refrigerator did not work and the EV charger did not work. We did talk to front desk about EV charger, but they were unable to help at that time.

Stay anywhere but here!

Absolutely horrible! Was given a room that was not ready and was switched to room that looks like Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown stayed the weekend. The air conditioning has a distinct smell that is a cross between dirty feet and goat cheese. There was nothing “Best” about this Best Western… I should have just slept in my car in the parking lot!

The main issue we had is the room was damp and had a moldy smell. Everything else about our stay there was great. Because our stay was short, we didn't contact management about the issue, so it's not clear how they would respond or if it was the one room or if all of them are like that. We have not yet received our deposit refund either but are sure this will be resolved soon.

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.
