Top Central Area Hotel Reviews

Oregon Garden Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing breakfast, comfortable bed, clean room! Will come back and stay again for another staycation!"

Bridgeway Inn & Suites Sublimity

2/10 Terrible

"Room 107 god aweful smell.. like animals . Bathroom was not clean .breakfast was waffles and bread and sausage you could not eat. We che checked in late so it was just a place to sleep but thank God im a woman cause I had perfume I sprayed. It made it bearable.. but no I would not recommend."

The Independence

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great view overlooking the River. Made good use of Hot tub and gym. Breakfast was great. Always Fresh fruit well stocked with a variety of the standard breakfast choices. Only one thing was odd, we had a room with a decent kitchen with full size fridge and freezer but no table to eat at? There was a desk with a single chair. Great if you are solo, not so great if a couple. We had take out one night on arrival since restaurant was closed for private party. A small round table with 2 chairs would’ve been more logical."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Salem North - Keizer by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"While it's not intuitive how to get there directly off the freeway, once you get there, many services are close by (In & Out Burger, Panera Bread, Target, and many other retail stores and restaurants). Breakfast was nice, and there was plenty of room to sit - even with a few travelling sports teams staying there. It was quiet too - I would have expected to hear more noise from all families staying there, but it was very peaceful."

HomeTowne Studios by Red Roof Salem, OR

4/10 Poor

"Crack in the door seal wide enough to see the outdoors, no TV remote provided, dirty floors and unkempt grounds. When I asked for a 'quieter room in the back' not knowing the geography the check-in clerk accomodated my request without telling me a major freeway in back made the noise there worse than the street-facing side. It was very close to the fairgrounds which is why I chose it, but I'll drive a little further next time for better lodging."
