The Willamette Valley Cab Company is the worst taxi company I have ever had the displeasure of…read moreencountering. I just moved to Salem, OR in early May, 2022. I scheduled a pick up at the Amtrak station far in advance. My train was delayed. WVYC was unable to accommodate the change for a new pick up time. Rick, the supervisor, was very rude and and rigid and unaccommodating. They made me wait THREE HOURS at the Amtrak station in the evening all by myself in an unsafe situation. When I called Erin, the owner, the next day to discuss she became very rude, defensive and hysterical, banning me from WVYC. It seems to me that a change in pick up time should be routine for any taxi company. These people completely fell apart at something so routine. I do NOT recommend WVYC unless you want your taxi company to abandon you after 30 weary hours of travel time and then put your safety in jeopardy. Thumbs down to WVYC!

Downsides: - Hotel temp was HOT. ALL THE TIME. The elevators were too. - Pillows lumpy, need to be replaced - Showers have rain shower heads...really just the worst when you're not a man. - Don't go here for the views. My window looked out at the top of a building lol - TV's are still on DirectTV. Yall really gotta switch to streaming services (Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, etc) Upsides: -I appreciate that the hotel cares about conservation and limiting their carbon footprint -The complimentary aluminum bottled waters were nice - They have a sound machine which is pretty neat -- haven't seen that in other hotels - Staff was nice

I'm VERY impressed with The Grand Hotel. It is big, warm, welcoming, and far more posh than I'd…read morehave expected for its "hotel star" rating. My room was far larger than expected, and was very well-equipped. In addition to all the standards (in-room refrigerator, microwave, etc.) was a white noise (and others) machine to assist with sleep (one minor gripe is that the sound isolation between rooms isn't terribly great), and a wall-mounted thermostat for the air conditioner and heat. One very thoughtful touch was two bottles of water, free of charge, already in my room upon arrival. Staff was incredibly helpful, professional, and friendly. My room was immaculate, and there were no signs of wear on anything nor neglected repairs. Complimentary breakfast was better than most. The mains also vary from day to day. There is a separate waffle station from the main hot dishes, and it features pastries that were far better than most, which was a really pleasant surprise. The covered parking garage is TIGHT, and is shared with the in-hotel restaurant (Bentley's), and the Salem Convention Center, so it can get crowded. There are two "Blink" EV charging stations, which is appreciated.

We stayed at this RV resort for three nights for our 2026 Summer trip. Initially, we only booked…read morefor 2 nights on our way to Salem, but because we liked it so much, so we called to add another night during our stay, but we didn't know we needed to get our bathhouse cards reprogrammed. Hence, the cards lost their function on our third night stay when we got back from our adventure and it was late, so the front office was closed. ( it was like almost 10 pm) When I called the emergency number, Tyler, the service gentleman on duty was very polite and helpful, he met me and my family at the bathhouse a few minutes later, with one of the maintenance cards for us to use. He truly showed us the meaning of hospitality. We loved how clean the resort was: it was the first resort we ever stayed having workers out cutting grasses and watering plants. The roses were beautiful! We loved the swimming pool & hot tub, as well the walking trails and rivers nearby. The water quality and pressure in the shower room was excellent! (This has been a problem for me in all the RV parks we had stayed in the past) Overall, the experience with Premier RV Resort has been the best we have had! ( we have done quite a few years of RV traveling!) Tonight, we are staying in their Lincoln city location, hoping it would be a great experience, too!

The sites are beautiful, and the employees are extremely helpful and kind. This last year we experienced some homophobic behavior from another guest and the employees at Salem premier RV made sure to let us know they do not condone that behavior and they helped us out of a sticky situation. If you're looking for a spot to park your trailer and have a good time down in Salem or even at Lincoln city I highly recommend this campground.!!!

The bed was comfortable and the shower hot with good pressure. It's noisy. The freeway I could hear all night, - I sleep with white noise no matter where I go & it could be heard over that. Unfortunately we weren't top floor so I could hear the people above us as well. All in all, i would stay again if needed but would ask for a top floor. Plenty of parking, Winco and Trader Joe's very close - THAT is a plus for sure.

We have been coming to Salem for the past four years because we had a student attending Willamette…read moreUniversity. We always stayed at the hotel closest to campus because we felt we were getting a good deal with the "friends and family rate". Fast forward to graduation year and the daily rate seemed rather high so I went shopping around and came across The Hotel Salem. And after staying there, we should have gone here from day 1/year 1. First off, it's a fair distance from Willamette University, however the proximity to multiple places to eat, coupled with great rates, made up for it. It's a stones throw away from Trader Joe's for Christ's sake so a lot of our shopping was done in minutes. Not to mention a Walmart and Costco is nearby as well. The rate I got off from Booking.com also included daily breakfast and it was a great breakfast to start your day. Make your own waffles, coupled with multiple bread options, coffee, juice, fresh fruits and scrambled eggs, breakfast meats and fresh biscuits and country style gravy rounded the overall menu. Just wish the dining room area was a little more bigger. Onto the washer/dryer on the 1st floor. They both take quarters ($1.00 worth) and the washer takes 35mins to complete a normal cycle, while the dryer takes 45mins. There is only one of each so set your watch to make sure you go back on time after each cycle so someone else can start their load. The room is only open from 9am thru 10pm so plan accordingly. Water pressure in the shower is great. The dial is super sensitive and a very small turn from scorching hot to bearable is about 1/8th of a turn so test the water before you start the shower-head. The main issue our two rooms had was the shower curtain not being wide enough and the curtain sliding to one side versus the other. The first night, our bathroom got a lot of water on the floor. I finally figured out a solution by putting painter's tape on the curtain rod and extended a "tail" so that the curtain can go over this "stopper" of sorts and not slide down the rod to expose the other end. They should get a wider curtain to prevent this from happening. All in all this hotel was clean, staff was friendly and the price was right. I had concerns because I saw other reviews of people stating the smell of recreational MJ proliferating the floors. That was not the case for us except one night we came back and could smell it in the elevator. None in the hallways and we stayed there a total of 4 nights. So it turned out ok. So if you plan to travel to Salem, stay here. You won't regret it
