California Desert, California hotel rooms at the Independent

"It was a quick stay just to have a place to sleep overnight. It was fair enough for the price of the room. Although, the occupants next room has their door open and I can hear the baby crying in the hallway for quite some time but I was too tired, I just want to have a place to lay on."

"The rooms were clean, the staff were friendly, and the overall decor was super cute. The tiki bar being attached to the pool is a cool feature as well. I would stay here again for sure! "

"Nice room, decent restaurant and great staff"

"The lobby and bar area are terrific. The pool area is large and spacious, and they have pool staff to provide you drinks and food. The pool deck needs to be re-done. And, the inside of the pool floor is starting to peel. The rooms are large and comfortable, however they need freshening and are a bit dated. Our air conditioner in the room ran fine, but it was very loud. You can tell this was a five star property - - but now it needs refreshening."

"Hotel was in good location, but seemed dated, worn, especially room, a/c in room was wall type and when running was very loud, had to turn off at night even though temps were 107 day, 90’s at night. TV took a while to figure out how to operate. At check out breakfast charges had been added, disputed this, never ate there but was told that I had in a manner like yes you did, over there. After waiting to check all the receipts, one for my room number was found but not my name or signature, so charge was removed. Don’t they check this before adding? I was there for an off site wedding so didn’t spend any time at pool plus it was very hot at the time. Had planned on staying one extra night but honestly with that a/c being so loud and so hot there changed my mind. Overall my stay was average, room was quiet, except a/c, staff was nice, location great, seemed to have lots of people around and price was fair. "

"It's a wonderful place to enjoy every moment and area from the hotel. Is like enchanted place all the decorations, gardens, structure, restaurants everything is great. "

"Pool area great with music and games for an enjoyable day"

"We stayed exactly 15 hours, did not venture beyond the lobby and room so really can’t evaluate. Bed was comfortable, room was clean. "

"Older but very clean"
