Top Salem Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Roanoke Salem

8/10 Good

"It was an overnight stay as we drive to our final destinations "

avid hotel Salem by IHG

6/10 Okay

"Not recommended if you are travelling with family and small kids. Small rooms, feels like 10 x 20 storage area when you are in the room, rectangular, everything is cutomized to suit the small area. They have spent so much money on finishes and to make it look it pretty, only drawback is the size of the room. Some thoughtfulness needs to be there from the management, when you are letting two adults book A room with 2 small kids, you dont expect them to stay in a 10 x 20 or 10 x 16 room with two queen beds and everything squeezed in there.
