Central Missouri hotel rooms a the Independent

"Excellent property, but would be nice to have more parking. Too many trucks, trailers taking up multiple parking spaces. "

"Great stay in Columbia, MO. A special thanks to the front desk staff who called me after a case with my toiletries was left behind. This allowed me to come back to the hotel and retrieve it before I was long gone. Thanks. "

"We only stayed one night but it was a good experience. The staff was very friendly. Our room was comfy and clean. The hotel is located close to the interstate so there is traffic noise but it didn’t seem to bother us."

"This place is great! It is very clean and everyone is very friendly. This is our first stay at a Drury Hotel so I don’t know if this is the norm, but they actually give you a card when you check in with your name on it, to use for alcoholic beverages during their Kick Back from 5:30-7:00 PM. Also during Kick Back, they serve a limited dinner menu. Monday was a chicken alfredo, salad,vegetable soup, hot dogs, Tuesday was soft shell tacos, taco salad,taco soup, hotdogs, Wednesday was like pulled pork sliders, baked beans, chili, hotdogs and macaroni and cheese and all is complimentary with your stay. During that time they also have complementary popcorn. Have never seen a place that fed you dinner. It was so nice. We did put tips in the containers for the alcoholic drinks. They had several cocktails, different wines and I believe 2 different beers on tap. Their food is on a long table served in chafing dishes buffet style. It works the same with breakfast, and they have a decent variety! My husband and I got a room with 2 queen beds as he has restless leg syndrome and kicks all night. We both slept good, the beds and pillows were very comfortable. I was very disappointed the first day as the pool & hot tub were closed due to being out of chemicals. The only reason I chose this place to stay was for the pool, I didn’t know about the other perks. I think that is something they should not run out of, someone messed up on keeping track. We really loved Elisa and Tara!! "
