Top South Central Hotel Reviews

Everhome Suites Salem

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect for an extended stay with big closet, full size fridge, stovetop, dishes, even a washer and dryer in the room. Very friendly staff available 24 hours."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Salem OR

8/10 Good

"During our visit to Salem, we spent 3 nights at this hotel located beside the airport. In the parking lot, we could hear some noise from the neighboring airport, but not from inside our room. Our room on the 3rd floor was spacious, clean and easily reachable from the two elevators. Breakfast is included at this hotel, and it had a good variety of items (waffles, eggs, sausage, yogurt, cereal, muffins, bagels, biscuits and oatmeal) that filled us up in the mornings. During the weekend mornings, we sometimes would get the last available table but during the weekdays there were less people at breakfast and there was plenty of seating."

The Independence

10/10 Excellent

"The property was very clean, and the staff were kind and helpful. Especially the employees working the continental breakfast bar and the restaurant in the evening. The weather was beautiful while we were there but the rooftop didn't stay open for drinks. I picked this hotel because the room had a refrigerator and there was laundry on site. I recommend this hotel and I would definitely stay there again."
