Doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's very comfortable on the inside. Walking distance to great restaurants, and a block away from one of the cheapest gas stations in Salem. I will stay again the next time I'm in town.

it was all good except that the safety lights shone in our windows majorly. And there didn't seem to be an "auto on" function for the a/c fan. the rest was good, all as expected (we've stayed there before)
