Top Independence Square Hotel Reviews

Hotel Magnolia Boutique

8/10 Good

"The room was clean bed comfy the front staff wad exceptional very friendly an very helpful cant say enough about the front desk staff they made the stay great I would definitely stay here again my one suggestion would be a small refrigator in the room an a lock box my friend room had lock box mine didn't had to share his other than that great spot right in the middle of everything"

American Trade Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel and beautiful room with terrace facing the square. Difficulty entering the room halfway through my one night stay which involved several trips to the reception after being told the batteries in the door needed changing. Should really have been sorted at maintenance. Communication between staff not great as despite being allowed a late checkout, cleaning staff came repeatedly banging on the door in that last hour."

Oasis Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed everything about my stay,the view was amazing and the location was perfect!! I would definitely stay here in the future!!"

Tantalo Hotel

8/10 Good

"I would stay here again. There were no chairs in my room, and the central light was burned out. So I didn’t get any work done in my room, but the AC was cold, the food was good, and the staff was friendly. The rooftop bar is noisy, but the AC helped mask the sound."

Hotel San Felipe

10/10 Excellent

"This property is set in a great location and is very cute and clean. The bed was great. The staff was very nice and efficient without being overwhelming. We didn't eat at the restaurant because we did a lot of exploring but would definitely stay again. The only thing I would say needs some improvement is the wifi strength it wasn't always reliable."

The concierge staff was such a pleasure to work with especially ‘Jerry’, who provided recommendations and information. This was such a blessing to us. I would stay here again in a heart beat. It’s a must stay!"
