8/10 Good

"The breakfast being at the nearby Denny's was different. The voucher given was for either an egg breakfast or $10 off. I wish they had at least a pancake option since that's what many people get and Denny's features. Overall a great value and pleasant experience. Many nice amenities, including welcome cookies and bottles of water in the fridge upon arrival."

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Salem

8/10 Good

"Staff was very friendly! Made you feel welcomed right away. Room was clean bathroom was clean. Water pressure was amazing! Could have done without the bright orange paint, but it was done well. Bed was comfy and smelled clean. Was not impressed with the breakfast. Nothing looked appetizing, rotten bananas in the basket, so we skipped it. Did try the coffee, it was not good. No creme offered just milk. Nice and quiet during the night, no shady people hanging out! Would stay there again, especially for the price!"
