Best Budget Japanese Inn Independence Near Me

D Cline: I had a group of students stay here. The staff was accommodating and a pleasure to work with. Breakfast was hot and there was plenty for all. I highly recommend this location for future trips.Rooms: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Location: 5/5Hotel highlights Kid-friendly, Great value …More

nathan buck: Great staff, and good options for breakfast. Rooms clean and well kept.Some wear on the tub and tile that should be repaired. Hot tub had some brown stuff floating on the foam and along the side - assume it's probably sediment, but not normal for well kept hotel hot tubs.

Mark Smith: Solid Four Star. Highly Recommend.Pros:Staff - All show pride of ownership in working here. Management are friendly and professional.Maintenance - The facilities and property are all well-maintained.Location - Close to Truman library, restaurants in abundance, and safe neighborhood.Sleep - The bed and linens were so soft and high quality. I'd love to have those sheets at my house. Room was very quiet. Very little heard from hotel traffic or outdoors.Cons:Housekeeping - Although the bedding was fantastic. I could smell the previous occupants perfume/cologne on the comforter. Also, both the clock radio and TV remote were gross; and were ironically under a sign noting how cleanliness is their top priority. Sadly, I checked-in at night with limited staff, or I would've notified them of the issue. But, the next morning management were quick to address the issues.Yes, I would definitely recommend staying here, and would gladly be a return customer.Food & drinks: So-so. Although the eating are was well tended and cared for, the food itself was bland and fair at best. You may leave still feeling hungry.Noteworthy details: I have to stress again how great the staff is here. The maintenance, front desk, dining, and management were all exceedingly friendly and highly professional.

Chaney Connelly: Went with my 7 year old and husband. Although we live here, we just went for a week and was stayed for a change of scenery! Hotel atmosphere was nice and light. Last time I visited the decor was too heavy. Rooms were too dark and beds weren't so great. Haven't stayed in a room for a long time so I wasn't sure or the money, our suite was The pool was clean and a great distraction for bored children. Accomodations were nice. King size bed was fabulous. Clean. Staff was great.

Ted K: Clean, up to date rooms

Emily Bevelacque: Hotel staff was very friendly. There were warm cookies one night that were delicious. This hotel has clearly been remodeled, but it's still a little abused looking in the rooms. My 3rd floor room had two stink bugs in it, but overall, it was mostly clean and comfy. I'd stay here again foursure.Food & drinks: Lots chain restaurants nearby

DJ Hermen: The buzzkill fun police Bethany at the front desk screamed at us for having an “open container.” Instead of being polite and using appropriate customer service skills she decided to go the opposite direction. Claims that Independence MO has a law about having an alcoholic beverage in a lobby. If that’s the law/rule, fine, but we are likely from out of town since we’re at your hotel. Rudeness gets one star ratings and the next time we visit KC to see the Ambush play we’ll stay elsewhere. Lots of options, and Bethany lost your business.

Tony Suarez: The only reason this hotel didn't get 5 stars from me was because half the TV channels, including FOX, NBC, and CBS we're unavailable due to technical issues at the hotel with Dish Network equipment.Otherwise, the rooms were great. The service was really friendly and helpful. The location was perfect for our needs.

Lowell Miller: It looks like it was a nice facility at one time. Maintenance has been Band-Aids. The shower was a slow drizzle and a pet peeve as I like a good volume shower. I couldn't find the light switch in the shower and discovered it is an outlet light switch combo which I've never seen before. The switch itself was extremely small and obscure. The sink faucet was floppy. No microwave but you could see where one used to be. There was a fridge. I enjoyed the bran flakes and milk for breakfast. I tried the biscuits and gravy but the biscuits were still cold in the center. I use Quality Inn frequently in this one was a little below average in my opinion. Not terrible but a disappointment nonetheless. When I went to check in it was a typical scenario. I walk up to the front door and the front desk lady is sitting on the curb smoking a cigarette. I feel so welcomed...God Bless her

Vickie Cooper: Our aunt was the one who stayed there. The service and rooms were nice, except one night, something in the room made her have an allergic reaction, so she had to change rooms. Also, they change prices on you depending on the demand for the rooms. So, the price could go up or down depending on what is going on in the city.

Mona Stewart: This hotel was horribly filthy. I would not recommend anybody to stay in such filth.Rooms: The rooms and bathrooms were so filthy with mold and mildew. Oh it is so horrible people. Please always check reviews before you get a hotel room. I was overcharged overpriced. My credit card was charged twice.

Josh Chowning: Hotel smells like sewage, toilet hardly wants to flush, no microwave, the air-conditioning sounds like a villan from mad max, house keeping is non existing, front desk can't help you, the manager is only here 4 hrs a day to not fix any problems. Seriously how is this place not shut down, there are several hotels around here save yourself the hassle of moving rooms

Ronald Rieger: After being asked to pay a $100 deposit, our stay was miserable, and I still have not received my deposit back after a month. I've called every day for a week, being told a manager would call me back. Every single day they still do not call me back, as well as claiming they have no proof I paid a deposit. Expecting to take the issue to small claims court if I have to.Room was musty, lightbulbs we're missing, our room key stopped working twice, mold in the bathroom.

Geovanni Padlla: Great location & great customer service by late nights lady who attended me. 😀 even the custodian lady was nice." The sad part is the hotel manager, it's creating political rules charging deposits to customers who actually paid online, that it's a bad business.""Sometimes a good customer service person save their reputation.As the room was great 👍 comfortable, clean, many food locations..

Michael Murphy: I booked and paid for my room through PricelineWhen I checked in, I was told there was a $100 depositI was charged 77 more dollars for the room plus the $100 depositWhen I checked out, I got a receipt for the return of my $100 deposit made out to a different person with the same name as me the manager is only there from noon till 3 PM and not there at all on Sunday and no one else can help me It’s hard to believe that this is a quality inn, seeing as they’re a nationwide franchise, but they’re run like a mom and pop candy store

Tom: The hotel it's self is very nice. The first night we stayed, I'm pretty sure someone tried to break into our car because the back hatch alarm was going off when we left the next morning. The elevator sounded like a death trap. But other than that, it was a nice stay. I do have an issue with the bathroom doors. I'm not sure who thought a sliding door would be nice, but it made our stay very uncomfortable.

Hannah Corcoran: Didn't stay there. Just there for an interview but it was very clean and pretty

Cheryl Kurtz: We immediately noticed after checking in that there was only a trickle of water from the bathtub faucet when we tried to draw a bath. The water also never got warm. There was slightly more water from the showerhead, but very weak water pressure and again the water never got warm- only cool or lukewarm at best. We notified the front desk person immediately, and were told the issue would be addressed and we would be notified of a resolution. When we returned to the hotel for our next night’s stay the next evening, the issue was unresolved. We again informed the front desk clerk, also showing the clerk a video of the issue at this point. The clerk again assured us the issue would be addressed and that we would be notified of a resolution. Neither happened. We spent our entire 3 night stay without the ability to take an adequate or warm bath or shower ( a very basic expectation when paying to stay in a hotel.) We notified the clerk again when we checked out and requested to be informed what compensation would be offered to us. I contacted the manager on the following day. He informed me that he checked the room, and the water pressure was fine in the shower and with hot water, which was a blatant lie. I requested to be credited for 1 night of our 3 night stay, which I feel would have been a fair resolution. The manager refused, stating that all he could offer me was a 10% discount. There was absolutely not even a hint of an apology, and he seemed very unconcerned when I informed him I would be contacting the corporate office for Best Western and that we would not be returning to this hotel, despite our frequent visits to family in this area. Unbelievable! Don’t book a stay at this hotel. There are plenty of others in the area where I’m sure you can at least take a warm shower!

Erika Jakich: NEVER STAY HERE!!! THEY STOLE MONEY FROM ME. I called to book a room for 2 nights. My card was charged 308. I arrived and checked into the hotel. Got my room keys and then checked my balance on my card they had actually charged me 430.06. I had to wait till the following day to speak with management. I told management that I would be checking out and at that point the owner told me. I was not getting my money back for the night I was not staying and he was also keeping my money for incidentals. So he stole $430 from me. For a 1 night stay!!! NEVER STAY AT THIS HOTEL!!!!! THEY WILL STEAL MY MONEY THEY WILL STEAL YOURS!!

Erika Winters: I’ve stayed here twice now. Each time was for around a week long. The front desk staff are always super friendly, room service ladies are amazing at what they do and so nice as well. The pool has never been busy when I visit so it’s really nice being able to come down and relax. Breakfast tastes delicious. The rooms look gorgeous and nicely updated. Overall this is a great place to stay!

Natasha Luna: This was the worst experience I've ever had at a hotel. I chose this hotel because of all of the good reviews on google. Extremely disappointed. We were placed in a room next to the ice machine, the laundry and the pool. There was so much noise. I could hear the ice machine loud and clear every time someone used it even after I put towels at the bottom of my door and had a Hatch sound machine playing white noise. People were screaming at the pool. Plus several times throughout the night there were random car alarms going off in the parking lot. I woke up at midnight to a vehicle parked with their headlights pointed right at my window and they were blasting loud music. Came out in the morning to someone parked 5 inches from my vehicle so I had to move it just to get my children loaded. The room was not clean at all. You'd think that when you have to pay extra for a pet friendly room that it would at least be clean. There was hair all over and dead bugs in the corner of the bathroom.The beds were comfortable but I barely slept at all with all the incessant noise. Some creeper approached my husband in the hallway and tried to pay him to give him a ride to "get him out of here."

Kelly Schadeck: Overall good experience! The room was clean, breakfast was good, and the staff were all super friendly and helpful. A few things to note: The pool water appeared cloudy which can be an indication that the chlorine is not working effectively. The elevator sounded clunky and was a little nerve wracking. The bathroom door is a sliding door and does not lock, which leaves little privacy and may be problematic for some folks sharing a room. Would stay here again despite these things!Safety: Felt safe tucked away from the road behind a shopping center. Well lit parking lot.Food & drinks: Beverages, candy, snacks available for purchase. 24/7 coffee and tea station.
