“What a great place to stay!!

What a cool hotel. Located in downtown Independence right across from Harry Truman's childhood home. I was told the hotel was redone and it looked great. The room was very well sized and incredibly comfortable. The king bed was huge and I slept like a baby. I've stayed at some of the nicest hotels in the world and these beds rank as good as any. Nice flat screen tv's. I could spend a week in that room. This is a great place to stay and is very inexpensive compared to chain hotels that have no where as good as service.”
