Central Virginia, Virginia hotel rooms at the Independent

"Short stay wasn't there long. "

"The folks who checked me in were very kind and helpful."

"The bathroom floor was dirty w/ black spots on the tile. Towels were not white, but a greyish color probably due to poor wash water. Plumbing fixtures were loose from the wall. No hand soap in the bathroom requested by phone to front desk but never brought. The bedroom TV did not work. Overall, the room looked dingy and needs a complete makeover. "

"Nice "

"I drove there "

"The room was comfortable and met my needs."

"We drove here from Norwalk CT, getting in after 10 PM. We received a warm welcome, including an invitation to join the group in the restaurant, which stays open to midnight. We were too tired to accept, but appreciated the opportunity. Too tired to use the pool as well, alas--this is just an overnight stop on a drive to South Florida, so we will have to be off relatively early tomorrow."

"Felt comfortable there. Easy access to food, shopping, parking and driving to UVA hospital. "

"Good"
