Independent Independence hotels

"Rooms are HUGE, very clean, and rates are the best in the area. We always stay here when we’re in the Sierras."

"Just stayed here to prepare for my Mt Whitney Hike. Simple, easy, clean, and a place to get ready. One solo hiker, just making his way up the mtn. "

"This was a very surprisingly wonderful visit, only one night but it was reasonably priced, very clean, updated outlets, pool area nice and clean and bed was comfortable. Thank you."

"Wonderful front desk service and the beds were so comfy "

"This is the second time I've stayed here. --"

"Easy access. Easy to check in"

"Geeta was a wonderful host. She was kind and cared about our comfort. We took our dog and there are places to walk in the back of the property where it is safe and off the highway. The room was clean and had adequate space. There were lots of special touches, including the welcome basket. We will definitely come back again. Thank you, Geeta"

"I really loved my stay at this lodge. The rooms were nice enough but not fancy but the location was great. We did see a bear from the lodge which the rangers drove off. It had a great view next to the river. "

"Comfortable and clean! Friendly staff. Gave us a space to store our extra stuff so we wouldn’t attract bears in the Whitney Portal parking lot while we were backpacking and summiting Whitney. Great, comfy bed before heading up the trail!"
