Orchid Island, Florida hotel rooms at the Independent

"Not a fresh breakfast just grab and go. The room and the facilities always smells like cigarettes, for people who doesn’t smoke it’s horrible "

"Room was clean enough, but some built-up grime was visible on the textured bathroom tile. The renovations that have been completed were nice (room flooring and furniture), but there is still work to be done. Old dirty hall carpets were actively being replaced during our stay. No regular coffee on our first morning, but that was remedied for the remaining mornings. Bed was comfortable, but the jiggly-jello part made it hard to sleep if your partner moved. Ask for extra pillows. Beach and pier were clean and relaxing. Pool was clean as well. Overall, I'd stay here again - especially if the renovation improvements continue."

"Good location - comfortable bed "

"I love this place. The property is right on the beach. Feels very private since its not a huge hotel. The beach was not crowded on a Saturday, it almost felt like we had the beach to ourselves at one point. The staff was very nice & the free breakfast is very convenient. I will be back soon! "

"Didn't have a bar. A/C kept room comfortable. "

"Sadly, I didn't have time to partake of the breakfast nor take advantage of the pool."

"Nice place"

"Great little hotel right at the beach with a cool little bar and restaurant. Within walking distance of everything! "

"Nise clean place. With nice staff. My only complaint was the toilets are so small. I'm 6ft. So not that big. I joked with wife. Look at the (baby)kids toilets. But really did make my back hurt."
