Wyndham Independence
Everything about my stay was horrible. From the pool being closed without any notice even when we called to confirm our reservation, to not being placed in the room we payed for. When we got to the room, they keys didn't work and then the outside door in the room didn't lock and had to be held shut ...

My fiancé and I traveled to the area for the Zach Bryan concert that didn’t end until 1 a.m., so I was so thankful for the 2:00 late check out option for a small additional fee. Staff were also super helpful and friendly!
