We opted for a bigger room, but didn't expect it to be as big as it was. Only complaint is I'm 6'3" or 190cm, the shower head came up to my shoulder so I had to duck a bit. Next Salem trip we take we're going to stay here again.

clean, comfortable, and very friendly staff; the team was accommodating and made the visit easy and pleasant. The only minor downside was that the Wi‑Fi was a bit challenging at times, but it was not enough to affect the overall positive experience, and there is still strong willingness to stay here again.
