Everything was super.clean from the lobby to the room! Staff was polite and efficient. We go up to the UP every year for vacation and we will stay at the Independence from now on everytime. Super impressed with that hotel!
While this establishment was clean and quiet it did not have breakfast and the design of the room sometimes didn’t make sense. Outlets not in convenient places for charging phones, etc. I would stay again, we had no issues.
