Property was clean and staff were friendly. The free breakfast met the expectations for a free continental-hotel breakfast. Pool was small but well-kept. Convenient access to 81.

Front desk staff at check in was very friendly (check-out as well), breakfast was one of the best weve had in our many travels, hotel was up to date, clean and comfortable - dog area defintely lacking space and pool was pretty chilly - all in all, would stay again

Bathroom door was hard to use. Hard to get at either bathroom or closet. Bathroom did not have enough hooks for towels. Our room was right above the doorway. Window blocked by awning, parking lot light shining through the whole night. Not enough parking! Every single space was taken.

The hotel is at the end of their renovation and the room was not completed. The hotel room did not have proper curtains as they did not cover the entire window. The make shift curtain was held up by a shower curtain rod. The lights from the parking lot at night and sun streamed into the room. In addition to this, the smell of new paint, glue from new carpets was very evident and could irritate those that are sensitive to these odors. They should have shut down the room.

What a fantastic hotel, and the staff was superb! This is one of the cleanest hotels I have ever stayed in. And the heated pool was wonderful after 10 hours on the road. Will absolutely stay in again!

We had a nice stay. The reason for the "poor" rating on the property conditions is that significant renovations were taking place on the main floor, including the lobby, front desk, etc.

We were disappointed in our stay based on the amount we paid for our room. Our toilet was broken, our sheets had dirt in them and had multiple brown stains in them, the bed was extremely uncomfortable, and the lady that checked us in was rude to us.

The room we booked on Expedia was not available the day of check in so they gave us two adjoining rooms. Once we made our way to our new rooms, a lady was changing the locks on all of the doors in the hallway; no one at the check in staff mentioned that at all. Had to wait 10 minutes for her to change our locks. After driving for 7 hours, it was not a great start to the stay. Once we were in our room, our kids discovered dirty clothes, including men’s underwear, hanging up in the closet. How did housekeeping miss that? The tv didn’t work in the kids room, so they just used their devices. All in all, it was a poor experience and I would never stay there again.

Hot water was barely warm, room had a funky smell without a/c on. Locked out of our room with a bad key & had to wait for 10 min for one of 2 attendants to wait on us. Was suppose to be in a online meeting making it worse. Seems clean, updated nicely, but the smell is right off the elevator.

Excellent stay for a night traveling through Salem Va. Free breakfast had excellent selection of items. My only problem was our room was right next to elevator which wasn't a problem until the elevator started dinging at 6 am. It didn't wake up my wife but I'm a light sleeper. So, if you're easily woken try not to get a room next to the elevator.

Very nice location, great staff, lovely breakfast. Some minor critique of the room, 407, that we stayed. The barn door that closes on either the bathroom or the closet was a little diffficult (heavy), and potentially dangerous. I was leaning into the closet to retrive a shirt when my wife came out of the bathroom, pushing the barn door into my space, almost clocking me in the head. Also, the bathroom is missing a towel hanger and the main light switch next to the door is flaky and possibly a fire hazard. That said, we plan to stay here again for our next visit to Salem.

Staff was friendly and courteous and hotel was clean, but...the hotel is nearly finished with a renovation and there were a number of issues we found with the room. The room is large sized and had two queen beds in it with a lot of room left over. Rather than use that space, it was just left empty. Which wouldn't have been bad if it had some better amenities. The wardrobe closet was small and we couldn't hang a dress or pair of pants in there because it was too short. There were no drawers to put clothes in. The bathroom did not have a vent fan, so it became very steamy when showering. The common breakfast area is not set up for families, almost all of the tables were two-person seating. Because it was Virginia Tech grad weekend, the rates were jacked up nearly 300%. The room cost us $381, and the same room a month later is $138.

Do not get a king size bed room at this hotel, I was told at checkout that all of these rooms are right on the other side of the wall to the elevators. I checked out at night because the bed in my room shared a wall with the nosiest elevator I’ve ever heard. Unless you have the tv volume on 50 (if you can sleep through that) you won’t be getting any sleep in those rooms. Instead of staying the night that I paid for already, I left because of how loud it was in my room all hours of the night and drove the 3 hours home.

We were an extremely late check-in due to traffic. We were traveling with our 9 month old. We called to let them know we would not be in until after 1am. The staff had the pack ‘n play all set up in our room so we could bring our little guy right up to the room and put him back to sleep! Thank you so much!

I was in NOLA in the hospital with my mom who was fighting for her life throwing up blood for 7 hours finally ending up intubated for 5 days and requiring a stomach tube on the day I was supposed to check in. As soon as I realized I had forgotten to cancel, I contacted Expedia and the hotel asking for compassion and a refund. I offered to send the hospital papers or whatever they needed. They refused to refund even one of the two nights. I pray no-one making this decision ever has to go through what I was going through and try to remember something as trivial as canceling a hotel room.
