This hotel seemingly has updated fixtures and elements added to a grimy and broken structure.
I was also disappointed to find that the charging port on bedside table did not work.
We experienced a loud banging noise from down the hall in middle of night (1:30am) that was pretty bothersome. Not quite a construction sound but certainly loud enough and repetitive.
It was a good location for our travel needs and I didn’t necessarily feel unsafe. Just didn’t feel very clean.
Customer service was ok. Nothing really great to note but certainly nothing bad.

We are traveling across the country with our cat. We were tired and looked for a hotel that would take us. I booked a last minute deal through IHG. When we arrived, as a platinum member, I asked for an upgrade to a view room. And what a view it was. We were too tired to go out and had food delivered from Frank's. Not that great, but we were hungry.
The front desk crew was super friendly and helpful. The breakfast was HIE usual.
We went birding and geocaching in the morning. Salem is a really nice town and worth a visit.

My family and I recently stayed at this Holiday Inn express location on vacation. It’s conveniently located just off the interstate. There are restaurants within a 3 to 5 mile radius, including some locals that are closer. The hotel is very clean. The staff is fantastic and the beds are very comfortable.

Had an amazing experience staying here. Rooms were nice and clean along with a wonderful view of the mountains from our room. Plenty of amenities were available in the hotel, except for the pool since that was closed off due to it being an outside pool. Breakfast was wonderful with plenty of options for food to choose from, along with two coffee machines in the lobby that made fresh cups of coffee on demand.
Highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a comfortable place to stay at overnight. Lots of amenities and good quality service that make it worthwhile.
