Front desk staff were very friendly but that’s about the only positive. The location was a bit dicey, the exterior was depressing, the upstairs hallway couldn’t have been worse, old filthy damp smelly carpet. The room had new laminate floors and the linens/towels smelled fresh but there were also Christmas window clings on the window (in October) and the curtains were stained.

Everything about this place was awful. The room was disgusting. Dirty sheets, dirts tub, horribly uncomfortable beds and bugs crawling around in the bathroom and the main part of the room as well. The one vending machine was broken as well as the ice machine but even if they worked I would have used them as everything in that place looks dirty and disgusting. It’s also not a hotel even though it’s advertised as one. It’s a motel / Econolodge.

Nothing special about this hotel, except the free coffee and fluffy pillows. Bathroom smelled like cigarettes, maybe coming through the vent. Aluminum steps, which I was worried about hearing people climbing since my room was near them, surprisingly I didn’t. Early morning was not quiet, hear all noise in hall. Only one front desk person. Nothing to brag about, I just needed somewhere to sleep a short distance from Salem. Many food options in the area. Hotel was affordable though.

The room was fairly clean but the cloth chair was stained and dirty. The bathroom sink vanity was broken, hot water turn knob didn't work ie only cold water. Water leaked into the bottom of the vanity. The direction of the only working sink handle (on/off) worked backwards. The curtains were shredded, huge holes. The ice maker was out of service. I have pictures. Over all, I would not recommend this hotel.

The room itself is nice, for the most part. Sheets were clean and appliances/furniture in good condition, but the curtains were stained and musty from smoke. The smell of smoke is very overwhelming - t’s quite clear that people have smoked inside the room which gave both my partner and I a headache. The ice machine was broken and the lobby looked poorly kept. The front desk lady was friendly and prompt.

The room was fairly clean, floors could have used being mopped, bottom of white socks were black from walking on the floor!!! The mattress was hard as a rock, cheap spring mattress or possibly a box springs!!! Took 2 days to get a remote for the TV and extra pillows, and on the second day the key card would not work! Overall, on a scale from 1 to 10, I would give it a 3!!! This was the first time we stayed there & I Would never stay there again! They staff seemed friendly!,

Roach hotel, extremely dirty

I booked this in hopes of an easy & cheap accommodation before an early morning flight. It was neither and the experience was truly rough beyond low set expectations. The general hotel is NOT a Howard Johnson and is independently owned - please note this namesake of some level of quality is no longer there, despite the Google provided assurance. Originally not as many scathing reviews when I booked. The entire room was in poor and unhygienic condition. The linens were dirty (hairs in bed) and mysterious stains on most surfaces. Evidence of pests and roaches left much to be desired. I was not expecting a great experience but nothing this traumatic. The entire building feels unmarked and unsafe in condition. Large debris and trash in poorly lit hallway zones. I would never stay here again, and not recommend it to anyone under any circumstance.

There was no blanket to be found (for the bed) by the office staff. Just had a sheet and a sheet-like bedspread. The mattress was super saggy and had metal springs in it that hurt to sleep on. The bathroom sink was cracked. The doors to the rooms had to be slammed a few times to stay closed (even by the neighbors). The walls are thin, so every noise comes through. The office guy was very nice. The curtains looked as if they've never been washed... White stains on the brown curtains and dirty sheers with cigarette burns.

you have to keep in mind what you are paying .... public areas are looking pretty tiered - but the room itself was great - large with comfy beds, clean and recently decorated . No view - Window onto the corridor but again remember what you are paying! No food on site so come equipped. We arrived in the middle of the night and checkin was 24 hour and easy ..... great onenighter!
