Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were cozy with beautiful antique furniture and comfortable bunk beds, but the eclectic furnishings added a unique touch. The service was exceptional, and the location, nestled in the historic district of Independent Mo, was simply charming. The dining, which included delicious home-made pastries, was a delightful experience. However, the facilities were a bit lacking, and the price could be considered slightly high.
I found the hotel's location to be just perfect, close to the historic Truman sites we wanted to visit. The rooms, despite the antique furniture, were clean and comfortable, with eclectic furnishings adding a unique touch. The service was top-notch, but the dining experience could be better. The hotel is ideally situated near the downtown district in Independence, making it convenient to explore the area.
The hotel is located in the Historic District, nestled in a quiet area ideal for exploring Independent Mo. The eclectic rooms, while adorned with antique furniture, lacked an ironing board and had non-functional wifi. The dining options included grilled steaks but were not included in the rate.
