Plan B on the way to Death Valley
We booked fairly late for our night before visiting Death Valley and had limited choice. Old motel with renovated rooms that provide the basics.

Small Jem in Independence
This small but comfortable room had everything I needed for a quick vacation - TV, wifi, coffee and a hot shower. The room was clean and quiet and the staff was very nice and helpful. The price for the room was very reasonable, especially compared to nearby Lone Pine. I look forward to staying here again.

Clean and comfortable
Slept well. Tiny room, but they gave us a free upgrade from the smallest because they weren't very busy mid-week. Had a microwave and fridge, which is good because the town has only two restaurants, and one is a Subway. Good place for a mid-trip overnighter.

perfect little motel - friendly staff
friendly check in, clean room, the shower could get a new shower head (minor issue) but again all in all, good room, the checkout was also really friendly there was also some confusion the hotel.com app showed the price incl. tax the hotel excl. the tax from his rates and applied them when you check in, but they even offered a refund which I declined (it's not worth the hassle) and I slept so well. If I'm around again I would consider to stay here again. I was really pleasant surprised how clean the place was.

Basic motel with large clean rooms
Checked in late after a long drive through Death Valley, and nowhere to eat in town except Subway. There is a restaurant within walking distance, but it was closed when we tried it (apparently it has no specific opening times!). Nearest towns with restaurants at least 15 miles away. Suggest you be prepared to travel this distance or eat before you arrive. Rooms above average size I would say for this type of strip motel. Also travelled some way to get breakfast in the morning.

Smalll But Clean
It's an older Mom & Pop style hotel. The rooms are tiny; maybe 12'x12'. The owners were very friendly. The cost was excessive for what you get, but there was a film festival going on in the area, so that is probably why it was higher than what it should normally have been.

cute & cozy
The room was small but well kept and owners were very nice and helpful.if you have alot of stuff or are taller it might be too cozy but it was perfect for a one night stay.

Independence Courthouse Motel
This motel should not be on your recommend list. The room smelled of mildew, the room was very small, the bathroom was so small my husband had difficulty moving around, cars are parked two feet from the room window. There was a non stop motor noise through out the night. In addition, we arrived at 7 PM and found no place to eat in the town

As a one night stop was fine. the room although not big had all we needed. the welcome was friendly and we had no issues. There is no where really to eat in Independence so drove back to Lone Pine where there are a selection of restaurants

Fantastic motel on the way to Death Valley
Stopped over here on the way from Yosemite to Death Valley. The room was lovely and clean and the owners Ed and Julie were so nice. I would definitely recommend this motel to stay at. Davy Dunwoody

Very friendly owners.
We only stayed one night but it was a perfect stop for our road trip. The owners were really nice showed us to our rooms and explained a little about the area. We knew before staying there that Independence was really small and there wasn't anything to do but that was fine. Hotel rooms were standard. Had fridge & microwave TV and AC. Very quiet and perfect for a quick stop over.
