It was great for a group of four friends attending a wedding! The room was very spacious. Loved complimentary breakfast at Denny’s and the sauna! I also utilized the business center on site which was a great workspace.

The customer service at front desk, super nice. Gym is nice, but the smell from the pool chlorine is bit much while working out, free breakfast good at the dennys. For the room, the tub was not draining, so that was kind of gross, the some faucet was loose and it smelt moldy or dusty in the room. We stayed in room 238. Our stay was June 19- thru Sunday.

The hotel was decorated, warm and inviting. The staff were cheerful, helpful and welcoming! The amenities were awesome! Coffee, water and tea all day. Breakfast at Denny’s, cookies in the evening and a clean pool and hot tub! The rooms were very clean and the beds comfortable. It was close to everything but quiet and away from the main downtown area. I would totally stay here again!

Our family always books Best Western. They are reliable and consistent. This stay, however, turned out to be mediocre at best. The room was clean, with a weird stale smell. The pool (indoor) was freezing. My kids who will swim in anything, did not make it very long due to the cold temperature of the water. For breakfast, I look forward to their tried and true offerings at most BW. This hotel, though advertised as complimentary breakfast, was actually coupons for Dennys. So I had to drag my family out to eat (they didn’t allow take out!) which added time, inconvenience, and more cost to our trip. I will not stay here again. There are so many more hotels in the area. Also, advertising is very deceiving. The breakfast should be stated as such before booking. I would have chosen a different hotel had I known I would have to take my family to Dennys.

I stayed there 3/10-3/17 the second night I found a bedbug took it to receptionist and she said her stag said it was a “harmless beetle that eats at your clothes”? So they moved me to another room where I found another bedbug, then in that room while I was brushing my teeth water start running all over the bathroom floor from up underneath the sink, she said she will get someone to fix it while i was at work, it was the most horrible experience I have ever had at a hotel and I spent over a thousand dollars to stay they I filled a complaint and no one has followed up yet!!! Do not waste your money!!!

Room was clean and large. Like the bathroom set up with sink in bathroom and another separate sink/mirror so someone else could get ready. Nice option with teenagers who take long showers. Coffee bar was great! Breakfast at Dennys was actually really excellent but not super convenient …. I️ should Have figured out if I️ could have ordered ahead and picked up bc sometimes the wait was a little longer than I️ would Have preferred. But that’s on me. Overall great stay and great staff!

I've enjoyed staying at this motel several times this time. However, the front desk woman and they misty. I think was so busy flirting when I walked in. With someone over the phone named Shane, I waited for a good 15 minutes. Until she finally decided to stop cooing at him. And then when my husband walked up, she change your tune again when we were leaving and acted all sad that we were leaving and I completely ignored that attention.Ben said, we're checking out.When will we get our deposit. 10 days later, we are still waiting for the deposit. That's supposedly is g I put through, and we have yet to receive it. I have stayed at other best westerns. And within a couple days it hasn't showed up. I would give a call for and they would push it through. And I would have my deposit either the same day or the next day.I'm not sure what is different about this motel, but something is a bit off

We have stayed here before, so when we needed to stay in Salem again, this was our first choice. Staff was excellent. Friendly, respectful, and professional from check in to check out. The room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. As an added bonus, breakfast is a voucher for the Denny’s across the parking lot!

This property was great! I am however upset with Expedia and probably will not be booking with them again due to I had a reservation and it did not show in the computer for the hotel. This was a very booked hotel for a cheer competition we were at in town and Misty at the front desk was able to find us a room and get us all checked in. She very friendly and efficient and if it wasn’t for her we would not have had a room! Definitely recommend this hotel.

Convenient just off the freeway and generally quiet, with easy access to Salem sights like the hospital and Willamette University. The immediate area feels industrial with limited dining, and a few reviews note safety concerns around the parking lot.

The hotel was beautiful and the staff were amazing and friendly. Loved the coffee machine - dark espresso with a chocolate shot was my go-to every morning. The location is good for getting in and out of Salem and surrounding areas. It is just an industrial area, so not the most beautiful and there is an airport so we get air traffic. But, overall, it's pretty relaxed and grocery stores are dotted around nearby, which is handy.

This hotel was very nice, the staff were friendly, the property its self was clean and quiet even given its location near the airport and less than 5 minutes from the freeway. The room was very clean and a nice size. We were even able to check in 2 hours prior to the scheduled check in time which was a bonus and gave us time to relax before going to the state fair. There is also a meal voucher for Denny’s that is given at check in where you can pick between 2 options of either the complementary meal that is listed on the voucher or $10 off a menu priced meal. All and all I was very impressed with my experience at this hotel and give it an overall 10/10. I will definitely stay here again.

Nice place off the beaten path enough to be quiet. A little bit of a trek to get food. Salem is a big town, with big town issues (industrialization, food deserts, homelessness, etc). Property was really nice inside, just weird to have it across the street from a car dealership. Not mad we stayed here, but would probably look elsewhere next time. Worth it for easy trip to Silver Falls, our whole reason for staying in Salem.

This property said it had free breakfast but they did not have a cafeteria on property. You had to go to the Dennys next door with a voucher. We had to wait one day an hour to get a table and the other day they had a computer system shutdown so no service at all. Very bad as we needed to eat before a funeral service. They also had a coffee machine in the lobby that only worked for the first 2 days then out of service. No maid service during our stay even though we asked for it. Not a very good experience… won’t be staying here again.
