This is the 3rd time we've stayed several days at this establishment. Each time the owner, Jim has been friendly, helpful and accommodating, even assisting us to find room in another motel in that town, when he was full. Just prior to 8:00 am each day he offers bread he just made and coffee cake, hot out of the oven,... More

I stayed here for a week to get away from the big city after a disappointing episode in life. What better place than a little town called Independence to clear my head? First off, Jim, the owner gave me a 7-night stay for an extremely amazing price, so I made this my home for a week. The room was clean,... More

We stayed here one night while travelling from Yosemite to Death Valley. We booked it based on the reviews and we were not disappointed! A VERY clean room with mis-matched furniture, but has everything you would need. The breakfast was awesome with fresh baked breads, coffee, juice, etc. What makes this place so amazing is that this is a one... More

I stayed at the Independence Inn for 5 days while I visited local fishing holes and enjoyed the scenery. I found the room very comfortable and the down comforter on the bed was wonderful. I had a stunning view of the beautiful Sierra mountains from the porch in front of my room. As a woman traveling alone I felt very... More

Jim is a great host and he makes a great breakfast with fresh selfmade bread and a good strong coffee, his rooms are basic and clean! As being myself a... More

We booked the Independence Inn on the basis of Tripadvisor reviews- we were not disappointed!! An ideal place to stopover between Death Valley and Yosemite. Jim, the Innkeeper, is enthusiastic and helpful and gave us several useful tips. One was to visit the small local museum which is an incredible resource in a small town and well worth a visit....

My favorite place to stay when hiking along US 395. Clean, convenient and friendly! Jim is very helpful, providing suggestions, maps and a nice breakfast. Great gateway for hikes to Whitney Portal, Kearsarge Pass and Bishop Lakes.

In a town with less than 600 residents, this is definitely your best bet. Jim the owner, was very accommodating. He is slowly doing the place up and clearly takes pride in his work. The room was really well equipped, with a flat screen TV, WiFi, microwave, fridge, coffee maker, nightlight in the bathroom, hair dryer and extra towels -... More

The fresh cheerful yellow paint and roses made a wonderful first impression which was confirmed by our room. The room was spotless and cheerful and the bathroom sparkled with white tile. The homemade bread and coffeecake made a tasty breakfast and Jim, the owner, was friendly and fun to talk to. It was a great place to stay at a... More
