Spent a good visit to this property, the hotel is nice and the people are the best. Breakfast is not free, but the food is good. During my stay, on my last day, my car starter died and I had to stay longer until my car was fixed. When I had to make a longer stay, the reservation, maid service, and cafe people were very caring and helpful. Even with the problems of the car the visit was good. I would definitely recommend this Hilton Garden Inn in Independence, MO.
