205 Commerce Center

The hotel is conveniently located just off the highway in a quiet area, away from the busy downtown core. For a hotel that is over 100 years old, it has been well maintained and is in good condition. The bathroom does not have an exhaust fan, and the bathtub drains slowly while showering. There are also some signs of wear in the room, but nothing that would prevent me from staying here again. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would consider returning in the future.

It's a nice hotel but nowhere near luxury class and was overpriced. Paid almost 30 for a tiny piece of fish. Was told it came with peas when we asked what it came with. There were literally 12 peas. So I guess technically it came with peas. After eating the 4 bites of fish, we went out for dinner after dinner. Luxury prices but not a luxury experience.

When we checked in and the next day when we changed rooms the woman at the front desk was efficient and made the transition smooth. This is our 5th or 6th stay here in the last few months. We always enjoy our stay. This time had a few glitches, from 12pm to 4am the room next to ours was noisy and even after talking to the night clerk nothing was done to have them be quiet. The main amenity at a hotel is a good nights sleep and that was a fail on the staff's part, The chairs in both rooms should be replaced as they are worn and the legs are coming off. We did not use either chair. Our stay at the Independence is usually faultless and this was not the case this time.
