Top Salem Hotel Reviews

Baymont by Wyndham Salem Roanoke Area

8/10 Good

"Hotel staff were helpful and friendly. Room had a cracked sink, dirty/moldy caulking. Hallways reeked of pot. Large party going on that lasted past 1am. People talking loudly in hallway. Breakfast is sparse . Not worth the $. Would not return."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Roanoke, VA

8/10 Good

"It was a good experience for us overall. We stayed there for two nights and enjoyed our stay. Having more breakfast choices would be a great addition, especially for travelers like us. One suggestion would be to keep the coffee at the front area warm/hot by replacing it more frequently, as it was cold for most of the time during our stay. I really liked the overall cleanliness of the place and appreciated the comfortable experience."

Howard Johnson Hotel & Conference Center by Wyndham Salem

10/10 Excellent

"Property was as described. Room was clean and had all noted appointments. Staff was friendly. The gym had equipment but was not functional due to paint and related hardware supplies in storage (or perhaps part of a renovation)."

Motel 6 Salem, VA

8/10 Good

"Ty"
