Residence Inn Salem

Very easy online booking for a last minute weekend trip. Check in staff were friendly, helpful and courteous. Room was clean and fresh. I find nothing to complain about with the accommodations and treatment I have received.

While the room has a kitchenette which is nice, the furniture is groady, see my pic.
Relentless whirr from the freeway was accentuated by a window that would not fully close (room 312)
The tiny bed not too comfortable. It’s overpriced based on the Marriott name and so I feel suckered… which is unacceptable. You should live up to the brand, not off the brand.

The Residence Inn is really keeping their place up. The carpet is new and they were painting the lobby when we checked in. Don’t overlook this place when you’re looking for a place to stay. Jonathan at the front desk was very helpful and friendly when we checked in. We really appreciated the spacious two bedroom suite and additional living area. We were ready for a comfortable and relaxing evening and found one here.

I had to write a review about this hotel because of what I’ve read (mostly on Trip Advisor) about the highway noise. On my way to Seattle, I decided to stay here because it was late and the moment I got out of my car, I didn’t notice the interstate traffic. It’s not like the traffic in Time Square where the cab drivers are honking their horn at everyone! Really, it’s not that bad! I can’t believe people are that sensitive when it comes to noise during sleep!
Anyhow, I found this Residence Inn to be adequate, spacious, clean and affordable. There are tons of places to eat around the area. The free breakfast was decent but overall, I’d stay here again!

TIMOTHY at the front desk provided me with A+ service. He was friendly, funny and very helpful while I was visiting from out of state during a family emergency. He placed us in a nice 2 bedroom room in a quiet location. He offered helpful tips and I greatly appreciated him. The hotel is located right off I-​5, near costco and many food choices within a quick driving distance. The hotel has a nice breakfast and friendly staff. I highly recommend. Thank you Timothy for making my stay a pleasant one.

Just okay. It’s old and the rooms are only partially renovated. I feel that it’s very overpriced. Should be $ 89 or less a night. Pros: Conveniently located off 101, friendly staff and located next to Costco. Cons: I could hear 101, old mattress and my sheets barely covered the mattress, nasty germ infested looking sofa, toliet seat wouldn’t stay up, breakfast was nice if you had no tastebuds. If I had paid $ 79 a night I would give it a better review.

So, I have no idea what this hotel cost (company paid for it). But I’m pretty sure it was totally worth every penny.
The room was nicer than an apartment I lived in with my now wife. There was a small kitchen with a full-​sized fridge and a little breakfast table. The living room area had a couch and a chair, and the TV could be made visible to that area. The bed was a queen-​sized (I think) bed, and also could be made to be visible to the TV. The bathroom was split — tub/​shower and toilet in one room, with the sink across from the closet in another area. Really nice set up.
Everything was clean and functional, too. I had no reservations about anything at the hotel, and settled in easily. Not only that, but there were enough plug-​ins for my obsessive electronics needs, which I really appreciated.
In addition to all that, they have a breakfast in the mornings, as well as social events a few nights each week. Awesome.
The folks at the front desk were really friendly as well. Very welcoming and great at their jobs. A welcome change from so many other hotels.
If I’m ever in Salem again, I would VERY happily stay at this hotel again.

I love my room. It has a kitchenette and a sitting area. The breakfast is very good. They also serve food on Monday to Wednesday. When there was a storm they served chicken wings, salad, cheese and crackers, etc. for guess who wants to stay in because of the snow storm.

My Husband has been staying here on and off for work for months and we have been coming up to occasionally join him. We all agree that the service here has really been excellent. We already love staying at Marriott chains so we knew we would like the rooms but the service from the staff especially the Manager and Reilly has been so awesome. They have gone above and beyond to make our stays here pleasurable. Thank you!

My wife and I stayed here for one night. Room was exceptionally clean, everything in the suite felt new or in great condition. We had a first floor room and it was VERY quiet; never heard any of the guests staying in rooms around ours. The breakfast was great; bananas yogurts oatmeal cereals/​granola, muffins, bagels, scrambled eggs, French toast, make your own waffle bar (which had walnuts chocolate and berries). I would absolutely stay here again got an awesome night of restful sleep!

I went on a family trip and stayed in two different RIs – one in Houston and this one. After staying in the Houston RI I didn’t really expect much from the Salem RI but was pleasantly surprised. We had a two bedroom suite – each bedroom had it’s own bathroom which was a huge plus. The rooms were clean and modern feeling. The blankets didn’t feel like they’d been used before (although I’m sure they had been). The bathroom shower was lined with marble which gave it a more expensive feel. Overall, the room was great for our needs.
I didn’t have to interact too much with the staff, but from my brief interactions everyone was friendly.
I like that there was free breakfast – it was mostly continental, but they also had scrambled eggs and some sort of meat.
We had gorgeous weather, and I wish the pool had been outdoors, but from what I hear about Oregon, having an outdoor pool wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense most of the year.
If we’re ever back in Salem we’d stay here again.

Stayed here 5 nights, Oct. 5^th thru 9^th. Party of 3 Adults.
Excellent location off the I-​5 (Exit 253) and right next door to Costco. Friendly service through out, from Front Desk, Housekeeping and Breakfast Bar attendants.
1 bedroom room (#113) was perfect for (3) adults. Everything was in working order and as always, we love the full-​kitchen and the ample space, not available in your normal hotel room.
My only negative comment, not only for this RI, but most RI’s around the county, is the placement of the bathroom in the bedroom. For a family, this should not be a problem with children walking in and out of the bedroom, but for adults, not related, walking into the bedroom maybe a bit uncomfortable, especially late at night.
We would definitely recommend this property, especially for Oregon State parents visiting their children in Corvallis. Its just a short 1-​hour drive down the I-​5. Lots of shopping and food establishments nearby…

We are staying here by default. Expedia screwed up our reservation at another place and «upgraded» us to this facility. Upon arriving, we discovered that Expedia did not pay yet, despite the fact that they had collected in full two months previous. No problem, Riley at the front desk told me that Expedia does this every day and that she knew exactly what to do. The room is immaculate, seemingly recently renovated or extremely well kept. The only flaw was in the laminate flooring in the kitchen area, probably a poor choice of materials for a moisture prone area, some panels were starting to buckle, uneven due to expansion. Morning breakfast was great. It included scrambled eggs, potatoes, sausage patties, wattles, pancakes… you get the picture, not your average continental breakfast. Hot coffee is available ²⁴⁄₇. Likewise complementary newspaper every morning. Heated pool, t — mills, ellipticals, dumbbells,…Costco right down the road, Woodburn Outlets less than 30 minutes away.

Great place to call home on a long business trip. All the comforts of home. The staff is always friendly and my room was perfectly clean. Great experience will definitely be back.

We stayed here recently, on a family vacation. The two bedroom, two bathroom suite accommodated our large family (4 kids) and gave us plenty of room to move around. The kitchen was helpful, with a stove, microwave, refrigerator and misc dishes and utensils. We also enjoyed the indoor pool and hot tub in the evening. Their breakfast was ample, with eggs, sausage, potatoes, waffles… a variety of breads and muffins, plus yogurt and fruit. Great staff; very friendly and eager to please. We would stay here again, if in the area.

From the moment I walked into this hotel, and was greeted by the extremely friendly front desk clerk, I was thoroughly impressed by this establishment. The two bedroom suite we had was very nice and comfortable, with a fully stocked kitchen, and fireplace in the living room. The TVs are small and old, but besides that, everything was very clean and up to date.
The best thing about this place is the high level of customer service. The entire staff is extremely friendly, and are eager to help their customers. They always have smiles on their faces. It has been a long time since I have had customer service like this.
In this day and age of declining customer service, the Salem Residence Inn is a breath of fresh air. The Marriott chain should commend the management and staff for making their customer feel like they have been treated right. Thank you!

Room clean, quiet, and spacious.

Things that I observed that were different from other Residence Inn places that I had stayed were that the bedroom was smaller than most, the kitchen stove was VERY slow to boil some water, and the microwave didn’t work at all. After a few calls back and forth to the front desk and a service call, I asked housekeeping if I could just use a neighboring microwave for 2 minutes (because I was in a hurry) and they quickly obliged. One more thing that was different, if you book thru Priceline or a similar site, then you don’t get to reap any benefits that a Platinum member would receive. I appreciated the space that the suite affords you and RI did accommodate my request for an early check-​in. I would stay here again.

I am here on a business trip and I never get a say in where I stay. I figure all I am going to do is sleep there… correct? This place is not half bad — it is an extended stay and most rooms are equipped with a small kitchen. This day and age most can’t go out to eat every night, but I have the option to cook something here with ingredients from the local food market. Rooms are bright and cheery and the front desk help seems very nice. I was very impressed with the breakfast — it wasn’t your run of the mill powdered eggs but granola, yogurt, and strawberries. Waffles were available as well as cereal and then your normal eggs, sausage, shredded potato, etc.
