What guests think

Reviews of Best Western Salisbury Plaza are mixed, with many praising friendly staff, a gated lot, and decent value, while frequent complaints cite inconsistent cleanliness, maintenance problems, noise, and service delays during check‑in or requests.

Rooms vary from updated and comfortable to dated and noisy, with outside-corridor access and reports of AC or TV issues. Breakfast feedback ranges from delicious and well stocked to cold or poorly maintained. The location is convenient to highways, schools, and restaurants, though several guests felt the surrounding area and late-night activity were uncomfortable. Expect a budget stay with notable trade-offs.

Property parking lot was within a gated area which reassured our safety. Assessable to stores was a convenience. Staffing (Alex) when asked made sure we had what was needed. Checkin and Out was simple. I will Continue to stay here when traveling in this area. I appreciate the service..Cannot comment on the breakfast for both days we chose to go to Dennys which was nearby. Room was clean.

The property is old with updated rooms. The air conditioning worked and the room was clean. There was no trash can. The stairs to the second floor are narrow and steep and the outside areas are messy. There was construction occurring on parts of true building but I heard no noise due to the white noise of the air conditioning unit. The hotel was fully booked and busy.

Walked in and left within 10 minutes. Room smelled like cigarettes, had to walk upstairs with our bags to get to our room, toilet was unstable and shifting severely in use, other lodgers with their doors wide open when walking to room. Told front kiosk about this briefly before making a quick exit, will not be staying ever again.

Upon check in, our room was disgusting! There was hair on the ground, pennies, confetti, the chair looked like a bird pooped all over it. Front desk lady was far from friendly. The first night, we were brushing our teeth and the sink leaked all over the floor. Management did get it fixed but overall was a terrible experience! It took two days for them to actually come clean our room. Beds are springy and not comfortable.

We had a roach crawl across our bathroom counter. The mattresses were so uncomfortable and the bedsheets were stained with blood and the top dressings had stains on their white bed linens. The bed frame is old and the furniture are all falling apart and the ceiling in the bathroom is meant for someone no taller then, 5’6”! The best part of it was the front entrance and breakfast was a bit of a miss. The street is o busy with traffic and the phone nextdoor to us rang nonstop all night long and I told them this. Would never stay there again.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The ceiling above our shower was peeling off and falling into the tub. Probably because there is no exhaust fan. Our room smelled of cigarettes even though we were in a non smoking room. Property is not kept up or redone in anyway. The continental breakfast wasn’t terrible. Wouldn’t stay there again or recommend to anyone else.

The room does echo and the AC/heat unit was making noise all night even when it was off. Also you can hear every time your neighbors open and close their doors and the walls were very thin.

The walls and ceiling in the rooms are way too thin I could hear everything going on outside my room above and to the sides and outside. Made it very hard to sleep and then was waken up several times out of my sleep b/c of noise. The hotel was convenient. The staff was all very nice and talkative made me feel welcome.

This seems to be an older property that has gone through recent “freshing up”. Bed was very comfortable. Rooms open up to an outside hallway. Only down side was the early morning and late night noise. The early morning was from the Carmax trucks on the adjacent property unloading cars at 6:00 a.m. and the late night was from groups of young people (one group of younger kids and one group of high schoolers) running up and down the hallway yelling at the top of their lungs all three nights until after 11:00 p.m.

I had a great experience during my stay at Best Western Salisbury Plaza. The hotel was clean, quiet, and comfortable exactly what I needed for a relaxing visit. What truly stood out, however, was the excellent service at the front desk. The staff member went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable throughout my stay. He was courteous, professional, and genuinely cared about making my experience a positive one. From check-in to check-out, his attention to detail and willingness to help made a big difference. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again

I called the front desk and she said she would look into it. 15 min later still very loud. I call the front desk again and she was very rude and said she walked the hallway znd didn't hear anything. 30 min later their tv is still on 11 but no more yelling

Checked in around 3pm and was told the room may not be ready. I said ok, I'll be back this evening. I was there for a baseball tournament with 3 kids staying in my room, and had to get back to the fields for a game. I came back and got my key around 8:30-9pm. In the room there were no sheets on the bed, no pillowcases, and later I learned no towels, soap, or shower curtain. I made 4 visits to the front desk, and only one person was working, who said they would be down shortly to get things set up. Well every trip there were more angry people waiting in the lobby. Long story short it took almost 2 hours to get sheets, which I put on the beds myself. Never got towels, soap, or shower curtain. Asked again in the morning, and was told housekeeping would be right down. They never showed, and I had to leave before we got anything. The worst service I've ever had. The woman at the desk in the evening was very apologetic, but she was the only one at the entire hotel working that night. And this was for a room I paid about $180-$190. I'll never stay here again, and I will let everyone know coming for baseball from my area to avoid it like the plague.

We requested a room on the ground floor and didn't get it. Every day we requested to be moved and were rudely told nothing was available. The last two nights we were there the place was almost empty of other guests. Access to the pool was limited because you couldn't get in and had to request a staff member to open it. The free breakfast was terrible and staff didn't keep it stocked with food and drink. The room was not clean. Furniture in room was broken/not working properly. Staff was not friendly and when checking out was told my receipt was only available to be emailed to me. I never received an email and even asked for it to be sent again. They charged a $205 charge to my card 2 days after leaving. No reason given when I called and no call back happened as requested. Still no receipt sent to me. I feel like I was scammed by this property.

The check in process and the customer service was horrible. It stood in line over 30mins just to check in. The front desk rep was trying to train a new employee when there was a line of other guests waiting to be checked in. Not to mention we were never told what the hold up was and there was no urgency at all.

Definitely felt like a very outdated motel. Long lines and inefficient check-in and check-out. External door entry. Creaky beds. No exhaust fan in bathroom. Then our bathroom door got jammed and wouldn’t open, and we had to call for assistance so the occupant could exit. The person who answered at the front desk initially said “we don’t have anyone here who can help” - which is like a master class in what not to say or do. We had to press to get them to call someone. Make no mistake - this was not a great stay. Go somewhere else.

This place is right off the highway, of you go too fast you'll miss it. Also, the Expedia location, map, is wrong, ot stops you 2 blocks before the actual hotel entrance, so put it into your gps manually. The place was pretty good, very clean, easy to get around.

The breakfast was not hot, despite arriving right at 7A. The personnel are a plus for this hotel with the overall experience rated low due to general items a venue of this price range put forth.
