Gibson Island, Pasadena hotel rooms at the Independent

"Great location with a lot of dining options and just a five-minute walk from Pier Six Pavillion. Safe area. Check-in took less than 30 seconds. The two men at the valet station were true professionals. I can't believe how quickly our car came this morning. Room was clean, bed and pillows were great, view was wonderful, and the shower was really nice. If we had one quibble -- and we've seen this a couple of other places, too, and it mystifies us as to what architectural teams think this is a good idea -- but having no door at all between the room and the sink is really off-putting. Even if someone is just brushing teeth or putting on makeup, we almost all like a little privacy at the bathroom sink. Anyway, we'd def stay there again. Prime hotel in a great location with great staff."

"The only thing that I had issue was that from 9 o’clock in the evening until 2 o’clock in the morning, I had noise coming from the street that kept me up"

"Easy check-in and checkout"

"Our room was clean and the beds were comfortable. We had a nice, hot breakfast (sausage, eggs, waffles,) as well as traditional cold items. Everyone was kind and considerate. We would definitely stay again!"

"Bar was friendly. "

"Charming area and loved to hotel decor!"

"I always like the Holiday Inn but this property exceeds my expectations all the customers service were great, thank you for be so nice and helpful."

"The historic factor and the architecture of this hotel makes it an unique place to stay. Would definitely stay here again. Rooms were comfortable and clean only down sides are can hear some noise from other rooms. Expedia said I would be getting a valet parking credit which we did not get but other than that Thumb up!"

"Desk staff terrific, as was server in restaurant. "
