Winnedumah Hotel

I am absolutely outraged by what your hotel has done.||I planned a Christmas trip two months in advance for myself, my mother — who is flying in from Russia tomorrow — and my young son. I made the reservation early and paid in full, trusting your hotel to be professional and reliable.||And now, one day before Christmas, I receive a phone call informing me that my reservation is being canceled. The explanation? Some kind of mouse infestation inspection. Are you serious?||Canceling a paid reservation at the very last moment, on Christmas Eve, for a family with a small child and an elderly parent arriving from another country, is beyond unacceptable. This shows a complete lack of responsibility, respect, and basic human decency.||Because of your negligence, I am now left with no accommodation

This hotel is NOT open. I just flew 4.5 hours, drove another 3.5 hours to get to the porch of a locked hotel under construction. DO NOT BOOK HERE!!

Love the simplicity of this historic hotel! It definitely takes you back to a different time. You get the dated smells (nostalgic), creaky floors, and quiet hallways. The rooms have showers with plenty of hot water and a comfortable bed. The staff are very friendly. Bag breakfast is included, as the normal buffet has to be postponed at the moment. Hair dryers and shampoo/conditioner are not provided in the room, so make sure to bring some along! Can only imagine the vibe of this hotel without the presence of a pandemic. There is also a nice, peaceful courtyard to sit and relax. An old kitty will most likely, immediately greet you! He/she loves lots of petting and attention. Highly recommend if you love simplicity without all of the modern technology. A great getaway from that.

The hotel is located right off one of the main streets in Independence. While there are a few small convenience stores and places to eat, I would suggest loading up in Lone Pine. The hotel itself is a historical property that takes you back in time. With simple provisions, we found the rooms met the needs of our quick trip. Don’t come here expecting it to be the Ritz Carlton. What you WILL find is a nice clean, safe property, with caretakers who are INCREDIBLY sweet. They went out of their way to accommodate some last minute reservation modifications. They even set aside a few early morning breakfast bags for us as we were preparing to hit the trails at four in the morning. If I’m ever in the area, I’d gladly stay here again.

A very interesting hotel, architecturally and historically. The original features and furnishings are charming and she feels like a time capsule. The couple running her are very nice and informative. The bed and linens are soft and comfortable, affording a very nice sleep. I hope that as the covid restrictions loosen up some basic amenities might improve in spite of the awaiting restorations. No televisions in rooms is quite fine but to have ice available for guests would be nice.
