Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, Utah hotel rooms at the Independent

"It was convenient having breakfast provided, since we were staying several days. (We stayed long enough that the menu repeated - they have 3 variations.). It wasn’t great, but it was sufficient. (There were two crowded times - workers and vacationers. We tried to hit between them.) They were having trouble with the water heat - every other day we could not get hot water in the bathroom. (It wasn’t totally cold, just not all the way hot.) The road is rather busy, which is a challenge to get out. If you go out one side, you can only turn R; we wanted to go L, so went out the other way."

"Where do I begin! I’ll start with the good: The outside of the building was nice and parking was easy. The sheets were soft The towels were soft(but very small) Now for the real. -The towel I used had hair still on it. -There was trash under the bed that was visible when walking in the room, so not sure how housekeeping missed it. -The bed was SOOOO small. It was actually more like a metal cot. It was by far the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept in in my life. It also squeaked when you move just the slightest. -The shower head needed to have some of the calcium cleaned off, because the water was barely coming out of the little holes. -This is the first time I have been to an Extended Stay type property and there was not a dish, pot, pan or silverware, so I suppose if you want to use their stove, bring your own pots when you travel. I wouldn’t want to use it anyway, because there was hair on the stove too. -The fridge was dirty on the front and the handle. -When we arrived for check in at 11:00ish p.m. there was no one at the front desk. We had to use a courtesy phone to get someone down stairs. That was a first for me. Honestly the place was just dirty. I didn’t feel safe hygienically. Just the basics were not tended to. The sad thing is that these are all things that can be tended to with normal care which was obviously lacking. I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone."

"Staff was friendly, convenient location. Building is looking a bit worn"

"Very quiet, quaint little cabins nestled between beautiful mountains. Everyone there was wonderful."

"Room was clean. They ran a huge fan across the hall all night the first night. Second night someone was smoking pot and the hall way wreaked of it. But the rest of the time was great. Easy access to parking. "

"All the staff and amenities during our stay was excellent. Absolutely no complaints. "

"Room had weird smell, shower didn't get warm"

"Room fairly clean. Parking was almost full. Air conditioning was fine"

"The breakfast was not very good this time. The parking is off site and costs 10$. The hotel lobby is clean and nice but the room was just okay. The bathroom had a bunch of broken tiles and the shower head was broken. The lighting was terrible. There were a bunch of clothing items and dirty shoes under the bed. The elevator is terrifying and we were on the top floor. The temp in the room wouldn’t stay consistent and the AC was super loud and woke me up all night. The staff was very sweet and the location is great though."
