Independence Courthouse Motel | Hotel in Independence

Didn't know we would have to travel 20 iles in either direction for food, you should plan on eating before you stop. New owners and they are trying real hard to provied a good service. Good Place for Very limited options in Independance CA.

Great experience and comfortable

Clean room. Basement of the AC made it a little difficult because it blew directly on the side of the bed. Staff was very nice. Unfortunately, there is no restaurant in the city of independence. I don’t mean no good restaurant I mean no restaurant at all. To eat, you have to drive to lone Pine or big Pine. If you go to lone Pine, the Grill was very good.

This place was perfect! SO CLEAN and the air conditioner was amazing, it was very hot outside, and the unit kept up perfectly. The owners are the nicest people ever, they waited so late for us to come in and made sure that we were comfortable. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! Don’t let the photos online scare you off, this place is precious, and even as two girls traveling alone, we felt very safe here.

Enjoyed the quiet, coziness of my room. Staff was superb.

The staff Not really helpful.

We felt welcomed, the bed was good, room was quiet, AC was quiet. They offered us fruits as a welcome gift. It is a family business. Very nice people. We’ll certainly stay there again.

Don’t judge this place by the outside- this little motel ended up being exactly what I needed after an intense hike. The room is small, as expected, but perfect for a solo traveler or couple looking for a clean, comfortable place to shower, cool off, and rest. The AC absolutely cranks, which was heaven after being out in the heat all day. The owners have added so many thoughtful touches: toothbrushes, single-use toothpaste, makeup remover wipes, bath gels, plus a mini fridge and microwave in the room. When I checked in, I was greeted with bottled water, fruit, and cookies, such a kind welcome after a long day. There are also cute patios with hanging lights where you can sit and eat takeout, and there’s even a homemade ice cream shop right next door with a really vibey outdoor patio. One of the owners mentioned a nearby trail just behind the motel, and I’m so glad I listened. I ended up walking through the beautiful Mary DeDecker native plant garden alongside a babbling creek with little bridges and an incredible sunset view over the mountain ridge. It turned into one of the highlights of my trip. This place may not look like much from the outside, but it has heart, kindness, and everything you actually need for a peaceful stay.

Lovely staff- loud highway noise and thin walls between rooms
