McAllen, Texas Hotel Rooms at the Independent

Stayed almost a week at the hotel while on business. Staff were friendly, the hotel room was clean and comfortable. It is a little bit out of the way from the hub of activities, but if you have a rental car the distance is not an issue. I would definately stay here again

Nice hotel, friendly staff. Bar inside the hotel had good drinks!

I will be back. Had a great weekend and fabulous breakfast

Everything was awesome good experience def would stay again and recomend to fam and friends:)

I was very impressed by how clean this hotel was and room service did an excellent job.

La Vista hotel staff was freindly and willing to make my stay a enjoyable one. The rooms were clean and staff serviced daily and check with customers to see if they needed anything, Area was quiet and relaxing

I needed an affordable room for a week while I looked around for places to live. I was worried after reading some of the reviews on here about how dangerous and unclean the place is and almost canceled. I was so glad I didn't because it saved me so much money and all the negative reviews on here were flat out wrong. A lot of the people on here confused old with dirtiness as the decor is very much 1970's, but I never saw a single bug nor was there a spec of dust. The hotel is located in a well lit area near the mall and airport, so the neighborhood is very much safe. The room I had also included a fridge and a microwave. The breakfast is modest, but adequate. The only complaint I had was the cleaning times varied and messed up my schedule. Sometimes they'd clean my room around noon, and other times they cleaned my room as late as 5:00 and I had to refuse service as I was arriving back to my room at that time. Other than that I was very pleased. If you're on vacation and are looking for luxury this may not be the hotel for you. If you're looking for a clean room at an affordable rate this hotel is more than adequate.

I stayed in Room No. 210, that was located on the 2nd floor.There appeared to be a problem with low inconsistent water pressure at the bathroom sink. Flow of water for facial washing and shaving was not constant. Shower/bathtub water pressure was o.k. There was no ice machine available to hotel customers. I had to ask for ice at the front desk, and then some ice was then given to me in a small plastic bag. The room was very adequate in size, and it was clean. The television set was very nice (It was a flatscreen TV). I found the surrounding areas/rooms pretty quiet. The bed was comfortable, but the three pillows were very flat (not very comfortable). Parking area in the parking lot was very limited. I parked in late afternoon, but probably would have had a problem finding space to park, if I had arrived later that day. Price for the room was fair and competitive. Overall, I must say that this hotel was much better that the one that I stayed in the previous week (that is the Motel 6 in Edinburg, which was in bad repair, loud voice conversations and had very loud televisions playing nearby, including sound coming from the Front Desk Area until 1:00 a.m,)

location good but cleanliness of bathroom less than desirable
