La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Salem OR
Stay on the third floor because people walk over your head really loud. So loud that I had a call downstairs but they didn’t do anything about it. Had to wear earplugs. Staff wasn’t very welcoming that night checking in.

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Salem
Room was clean enough. Staff was friendly. The blankets and linens were clean. The channels on tv are bare minimum and the quality is bad. Good place to spend 1 night in for the price.

Home2 Suites by Hilton Salem
Good parking, bed NOT comfortable, pull out couch NOT comfortable, pillows NOT comfortable. There was a large team of noisy teenagers who were hogging all the breakfast which wasn’t very good. Safe area
