Red Lion Hotel Salem

Great if you need a bed

Pros: -Free breakfast -comfy bed -medium small bathroom -Hangers

Cons: -I can hear every neighbor -Front desk staff worried more about the telephone guests, than the large line I stood in for 30+ minutes just to check in -Parking lot has a ton of potholes, small parking, mostly always full

A Roof over your head

Pros: Voucher system was nice.

Cons: TV remote didn't work. Limited channel choices. Acoustics both in and out were not the best; laminant at entry carries hallway noise inside and the walls aren't sound walls. There were soft spots in the floor assembly.

Pros: Staff wasn't forthcoming with information. We found out from other guests the shuttle wasn't working. We were placed on the fourth floor when we had a dog (pets are supposed to be on the second floor) then were questioned by multiple staff about being put on the top floor.

Cons: There was some type of alarm going off while we were trying to sleep for over an hour before we got moved to another room on the other side of the hotel. Wel all decided we probably wouldn't stay here again.

Freezing cold shower

Pros: Proximity to work

Cons: Freezing cold shower Overpriced food/beverage Smelly

Disappointed. ...

Pros: Jim the bartender!

Cons: I have a long list of things I didn't like! It was old and not well kept. It smelled like cigarettes although it was non-smoking. the headboard nailed to the wall was made of old, worn table legs turned upside down! I should've taken a pic! The room was shockingly small. My husband's bagel was moldy the next morning! We still might go back and visit Jim!

Pros: the staff

Cons: just old, dirty, tired, ugly
