This was an amazing property. The room was very spacious and comfortable. We appreciated the comfortable armchair and the desk. The area was quiet. The soundproofing was very good. We only heard minimal music from the restaurant downstairs, but never anything else.

Outside of the rooms, there was a nice common room. Drinks such as hot tea bags and cocoa packets were available. We like to drink hot tea, so we greatly appreciated these amenities.

We also ate in the restaurant and the food was excellent.

Ophelia's was a fantastic place! A comfortable and unique B & B that we found was mere blocks from the place & purpose of our visit to Independence. The room was very nicely decorated and had the usual TV, free internet & coffee as well as refrigerated beverages ($$) and fine liquors ($$). One big plus is that you can also purchase the Turkish cotton bathrobes that are provided to the guests (my wife liked them).

There is elevator service to the rooms, which set directly above the restaurant. The restaurant itself is what I call fine dining. Our food was well prepared and excellent with a friendly and attentive staff. There was even some quiet instrumental music provided by a single guitarist on Saturday evening! There are plenty of shops to visit as you walk around the Square after supper.

All-in-all, a great find, a pleasant stay and certainly a place to go back to!

Overall, disappointed with our stay. Definitely not worth what we paid for. There is not a front desk person so its hard to ask any questions or get any issues resolved unless the restaurant is open (we called the manager phone number that we found in the community room and they didn't answer). Also, the email listed on their website does not work. We were not provided any information about Wi Fi access or check out times when we checked in and that information was no where in our room. We had conflicting check out times on our reservation confirmation email and with no one to ask, we decided to wake up early to make sure we didn't incur a late check out fee. We didn't have the chance to dine at Ophelias but there are a few cafes and restaurants withing walking distance. Depending on the purpose of your trip, this may or may not be the right place for you. There's potential with this place but I would not recommend at this time especially for the price (must mention we visited during the World Cup).

Unclean room when arrived, asked for towels and I had to go find a housekeeper because the front desk manager never brought us any after I called. I had to go find a sweet housekeeper to come and clean our room. Upon arrival the staff didnt even know that the room wasnt cleaned and that it wasnt actually ready but checked us in anyways. Then no staff at check out or on site after hours. And the manager told us there was free breakfast and there actually was no breakfast in site at all so we left hungry and frustrated. Very disappointed considering we were there for the world cup game. And the amount of money we paid for this room we expected more. I do not recommend this place.

Ophelia's was a lovely place to meet up with an old friend. We enjoyed the kind and welcoming staff, who function both as hosts in the restaurant AND front desk/concierge for the Inn. Free street parking nearby was also a plus. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed. The bar cart was especially pretty and fun and added to the unique atmosphere. I felt fancy the whole time I was there. Food in the restaurant was delicious too.

A little unusual that guests stay at the inn with no front desk staff. Would've appreciated a little more insights on security of the building, emergency contact in case any help was needed. Apart from that, my stay was absolutely lovely. Staff was incredibly friendly and I even got an upgraded room since I was the only one staying at the inn that night. I look forward to coming back in the future!

Could not speak to anyone before arrival. Called several times as instructed. Arrived on a monday which the restaurant was closed so could not eat at location. Finally someone contacted us from a strange number. We would of never stayed but had no time to make other arrangements. Room was dusty you could see that no one had been in the room for a while. The TV did not work but there was no one to contact to have that resolved.

I will have to compliment the area it is beautiful lots to see and do. We enjoyed the local pub The Court House Exchange and the local Coffee Shop THE MAIN STREET COFFEE HOUSE. Both amazing establishments.

Such a refreshing change from the normal chain hotels. The staff were wonderful and rooms were very comfortable. Not to mention the restaurant downstairs is probably the best in Independence. The location on the square makes it very convenient for a relaxing stroll in the morning or to visit any of the numerous shops or restraurants. We will make a point to stay here anytime we are in the area.

Lovely area, walkable. Lot of things nearby. Fabulous restaurant for dinner. Enjoyed our stay in King suite.

Minor inconveniences: Jetted tub was really loud, and could probably use maintenence. Older building has squeaky floors. Walls are thin and didn't block much noise from room next door.

The room was fine. The staff was nowhere to be found. I arrived and no one was at the property. Found a contact to text and 15 minutes later the housekeeper shows up to let me and another couple in. Then she wasn't sure who was supposed to be in which room. Finally got it straightened out and settled in. Then this morning, no one to check out with.

I reserved 2 single rooms at Ophelia’s Restaurant and Inn for a Fri-night stay, on Expedia, per directions on Ophelia’s website. When I made the reservation, Expedia showed 3 single rooms available; after I had completed (and prepaid) my reservation, there was 1 room left.

I called Ophelia’s on the Mon of my arrival week to confirm; there was no answer so I left a message. I called again Tue and spoke with the Inn contact, who acknowledged my message of the day before, confirmed 2 rooms, a late arrival time, entry directions, parking, and dinner plans.

2 hours before Fri arrival, the Inn manager called to cancel me out of my prepaid and confirmed reservation. She said she did not have 2 rooms, and that Expedia had over-booked. I said I had confirmed with Inn staff 3 days prior, and she repeated the rooms were not available. She recommended Woodstock Inn. She offered to comp dinner, but given how they had managed my room reservation, I didn’t trust them to manage dinner, and we didn’t go.

Woodstock Inn was amazing. So glad we stayed (even tho it was more expensive). Beautiful, comfortable, so friendly, great breakfast, and so well-managed (in stark contrast to Ophelia’s, which obviously is quite poorly managed).

Cannot rate Ophelia’s cleanliness, condition, area, given they canceled me.

Am concerned will not get my $ back.

I do not recommend Ophelia’s at all. I highly recommend Woodstock Inn and Cafe Verona, where we had a great dinner after our arrival.

This is not a B&B. No breakfast provided despite being the second story of a restaurant. Food at restaurant was excellent (had an appetizer and wine when we arrived). The room was lovely and large (we paid for a superior room) but there was no hand soap and no shower curtain (we had to point that out and one was put in while we were at dinner). Too expensive for not serving breakfast. If they served breakfast it would be appropriate for the cost.
