James Island hotel rooms a the Independent

"Amazing staff. Check in was a breeze and had no issues at all. Room was very clean and comfortable. It served its purpose well as a relaxing place to sleep after a long day of exploring the area. I traveled with my son, a 2 year old who was extremely excited to go swimming in the pool. After dressing him in his swim attire and taking him down to the pool all excited, we found it was closed. I learned that despite what online said about the pool closing at 10pm, front desk staff informed me it actually closed at 8 (perhaps 9? I cannot remember). This was my only negative about the stay. I think staff should make clear to their guests upon checking in. Bar was only open for a small window of time and the drinks were priced the typical markup hotels tend to place. Ice machines available worked great and the elevators were very quick and accessible. Overhaul I would highly recommend this place to anyone! It’s a great central area, close to everything. "

"Good"

"Property was great would recommend for good budget hotel! "

"Overall it was a good experience, "

"Great place for families – we picked it not only for the location but because it had a very nice swimming pool which my kids loved. The outdoor pool amenities were great. Staff was great."

"This property is right in the heart of Old Town/French Quarter. Super close to the market, the pier, the Pineapple fountain and fun bars/restaurants 1 to 3 blocks away. Do the Valet parking, so worth it. Would stay again."

"It is an older property, but lots of history and the staff was exceptional "

"My friends and I came on a girls trip. This hotel was incredibly affordable compared to the other hotels around the area. It is right by some of the best shopping on King Street, only about a 12 to 15 minute walk to some of the best restaurants and market. It was extremely safe and very conveniently located. Would highly recommend. It was also very quaint and beautiful inside. The rooms were spacious (besides the bathroom) and it had all the amenities you could need. "

"Right on the beach. Super friendly staff. Minutes walk to restaurants and shops."
