Emporia, Kansas Hotel Rooms at the Independent

Great place and very clean!!

Several little things that added up to a disappointing stay. The frame of the room door was loose. One pillow was hard like a rolled up blanket, the other was a too soft feather pillow (my mistake for not bringing my own). The lid to the coffee maker where the water pours in was missing (hard telling what may have been in there). There was not body wash/shampoo in the dispenser in the shower (glad I had my own). There were only 2 tissues in the box of tissues. With the toilet seat lid down you could not open the bathroom door all the way (the door would hit the lid). The hot tub was not even body temperature warm (big disappointment after playing disc golf all day). Tried to use the exercise equipment; they had 5 pieces of equipment, one squeaked so loud it was annoying, the 2nd had a broken cable so you could not use it, the 3rd, the seat would not tighten and would move back and forth and handlebars were loose, the 4th had no working electroncis, the 5th was a seat to sit in to do sit ups, the only piece that was not broken. They have a sauna but I was afraid to use it without instructions and the way the other equipment was. Ice machines would not work properly. We stayed on the inside by the pool and the door never locked. And our view out of the window was a brick wall. Don't stay in room 122 if you want a view of anything. They are remodeling the hotel and hopefully things will get fixed, but I doubt I will ever stay here again.

A small inexpensive no frills motel. Great value for the price. Would definately stay there again. Very clean.
