Top South Central Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Mill Creek Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I know it's silly but having breakfast included and discounted dinner at Denny's was fantastic. Hot tub and pool were a great way to wind down after a long day of hiking at Silver Falls SP."

Everhome Suites Salem

10/10 Excellent

"Our hotel stay was truly an incredible experience! From the moment we arrived until checkout, everything was wonderful. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The only downside was seeing some homeless encampments nearby, but honestly, it didn’t bother us or take away from our overall experience. We still had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back! ❤️"

Days Inn by Wyndham Black Bear

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at Days Inn Black Bear on 10.26.26. Check in was easy and quick. I'm an older woman that decided to go to TJ Max just after dark. I got lost. I called the front desk at the hotel. The same young woman that had checked me in answer. She gave me great directions on how to get back to the hotel. She was so helpful. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I AM VERY APPRECIATIVE!"
