The staff is so welcoming, friendly and kind! They were so helpful to us with any questions we had while here. The hotel is right off the river, walking trail and in walking distance to the quaint little town with shopping and dining options. The hotel facilities are wonderful as well.

Our room had a great view of the river, and the park. It was so handy to have access to events in and around the riverfront, the park, shopping, and was walkable to everything in Independence. Such a cute town. The service was top notch and the amenities were wonderful - hot tub, room, access, parking. We loved it!

Front desk was very helpful! Fresh lemon/lime ice water and cookies was a nice treat after checking in. They were conveniently located near elevators on our way to the room. Grounds and river views are gorgeous and peaceful. Paved walking trail along the river proved to be a relaxing stroll after our evening meal.
