After exiting vehicle to enter room I was approached by a disturbed man who appeared to be using a torch to light a pipe, shortly after offering to sell me something. I began receiving questions as to what I do for a living, where I’m coming and going, why I am here, what the “passcode is here”. I did not feel safe entering my second floor room, so stepped back into my vehicle and locked the doors. After, he began attempting to open multiple downstairs units. I went back to the check in office and stated I did not feel safe and would like my money back, that I did not enter the room. The staff refused even after explaining the dangerous situation that I was now being followed. Unfortunately I was forced to pay with cash, drawn from their ATM in the lobby. No receipt was provided to me and no funds were returned. Also unfortunate the local police in Independance, MO did not have the manpower to investigate the situation after a report, and would not assist me further or investigate the business. Save yourself from this crack motel and stay far far away. I would avoid Independance, MO in general in regards to hotel stays under $100 - there were few that were a better option than “Americas Best Value Inn”.
