Stretch Island, Grapeview hotel rooms at the Independent

"Great getaway."

"We are actually still here. We have enjoyed it so much that we extended our stay. The beds are extremely comfortable, the free breakfast is great. They change the menu each day. One day it is biscuits and gravy with link sausages and hash browns. Next day it’s scrambled eggs, link sausages and hash browns. There is a waffle maker, instant oatmeal, danish, yogurt, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, milk, orange juice, apple juice, water, bananas and oranges. There is a nice pool and hot tub which are open 24 hrs per day. Quiet time is from 10 pm to 7 am. There is a form you are required to sign regarding quiet time. They are pet friendly. We sometimes have difficulty finding a hotel where cats are welcome and they are quite welcome here. The cat fee is quite steep but worth it to have your whole family travel with you. The room is a nice size and has accommodated our family of 4 adults and 2 cats. We have a microwave and mini fridge. The room was clean except the bathroom so I just scrubbed the tub, and sink and we were ready to go. The staff are very nice and friendly. We will definitely stay here again in the future."

"Nice room and price"

"Very kind staff, very clean , good location, quiet "

"We loved the view from our room. While the hotel is somewhat dated, it's not sterile like so many chain hotels. The staff was very friendly, and like others have said, the water pressure is outstanding. We'll probably stay there again next year."

"The toilet whistled when you flushed it, and the tune wasn' t Dixe. 😆 other than that the toilet itself was too low to the ground for comfort. "

"Large room, good bed. Great breakfast! No elevator."

"A standard hotel in a quiet area, but close enough to dining options. Clean rooms, friendly staff, good continental breakfast with variety of options. Rooms had a fridge with freezer and a microwave. The pool and hot tub were nice to have for the kids."

"Everything was great, the help was very nice, I loved the front porch with the chairs and the Starbucks across the lot was the best "
