For our first visit to Salem I was ecstatic over location of this hotel, literally in the middle of downtown Salem! You walk out the front entrance and you are just walking distance from shopping, dining, museums, exhibits, you name it, it’s right there! There is no onsite parking so you have to utilize a parking garage, which again is only 2-3 minutes away from the hotel! I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend the Hotel Salem! The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable as well! We had a great time and when we go back, because we will I will be staying right at the Hotel Salem!
