Americas Best Value Inn Fredonia

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and comfortable room. We would stay again if going through that part of Kansas."

3-bedroom house in peaceful Independence. Enjoy your stay

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed the space this home gave us for our family of seven. It was an extra bonus to be able to park in the garage as this is generally not offered in many "home away from home" situations. There were plenty of towels and also a nice laundry facility. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen contained everything we needed to cook family meals each evening. This home definitely made our stay easy."

"Nice and quiet stay 😁 room was clean bed was clean and comfortable"

K's House

8/10 Good

"Cute little house. Beds were comfortable with plenty of bedding. Bathroom was very clean and well stocked! The negative I have, which iscompletely understandable for a house in the summer, is when I messaged the owner asking if they had something I could use to get rid of the ants in the kitchen I never got a response. Otherwise, great stay in a quiet neighborhood and close to the college!"
