Holiday Lodge Salem,OR

As you know, this is NOT a Marriott. It is very inexpensive and my 4 of 5 star review reflects that. My room was clean, as were the towels, sheets and other bedding. All of the plumbing worked well. The check-in guy was friendly and helpful. He let me see my room before I accepted it. The check-in sheet showed a price of $10 less than the price I paid on Expedia. The desk guy said that's because the hotel paid a commission. The I5 freeway adjoins the hotel and it is thus noisy, though indoors is nowhere near as bad as out on the balcony. My room was the 3rd one in from the freeway. Further away is probably better. The wall-mounted air conditioner was also noisy. Some might regard that as a plus. I didn't. I used ear plugs. The painted walls were clean, and the paint looked reasonably fresh, though the painters' workmanship was a bit sloppy. One side of the window curtain hung largely loose, making the curtain fail to fully obscure the window. I was able to cure that by reattaching two curtain hanger hooks. There was a microwave and a mini-fridge. No coffee maker. The office was locked when I left at 6am. I don't know whether there might otherwise have been coffee in the office.

I respect and appreciate your staff. They are so incredibly understanding and professional and they are work is polite and unseen, but it’s all around you. They are amazing.!

The gentleman who assisted me in my check-in, for my adult daughter was spectacular. He was professional. He was polite. He was understanding he assisted in every way possible, and he created a wonderful stay for my family. You are greatly appreciated. You will be highly recommended and I am looking forward to my next trip into town so I can stay with you again.

Base on the price, everything was good
