Description: In Salem, Oregon we wanted to visit some friends. We went looking for a hotel. The Best Western is good, said our friends, so we decided to stay there. It is a hotel on the outskirts of Salem, but with shopping malls nearby. It is a medium sized hotel with 100 rooms and about .. with only two floors. So no high-rise hotel.

Parking

For the hotel is a large car park. At the entrance are three handicapped parking spaces reserved. Parking is free, as in most hotels. Of these parking spaces are also for guests of Denny's restaurant. But there is plenty of space.

Arrival

You walk trough a wide door, which is also suitable for wheelchair users. The first thing you notice is the sort of waterfall in the corner with stuffed animals. It’s probably needs to present Mill's Creek. And probably, the hotel management also thought, for there is a cozy seating area made of.

Left is a large reception desk. I ask if they still have a room. Oh yes there is space. And even still on the ground floor. I fill in a paper in my address and number of the car. We get the key to our room. Well key, the famous electronic card. We get a voucher for breakfast in addition also a gift of the house a bag with a chocolate biscuit.

The room

Of course first the inspection of the room. We walked with our suitcases through a hallway to the right and pass several meeting facilities. Executive room, board room and meeting rooms. Then we went to our room and we open the door. What a room! It looks like a ballroom. Left is the bathroom and a kitchenette with a bar. Microwave and coffee maker and sink is available. Well I'm really not going to be here cooking. In the bedroom is a large bed. Air conditioning is available. On one desk is a LCD TV. With the ability to buy movies.

In one corner is a table with a reclining chair. If you get to sit, lie well uh, you do not have to go to bed! On the bed I can say one thing, that is you are tiny, you might have trouble getting into bed, for it is quite thick mattress. But I slept great.

The bathroom

A large bath with a built-in shower. You need to find out how the mechanism works to turn the shower on. In the basin are the nice bottles of shampoo and conditioner. There is even mouthwash. On the wall hangs a hairdryer. And on the wall is even an ironing board confirmed. Not that I tend to go here ironing. Everything shines and is clean and tidy.

Breakfast

There is no restaurant in the hotel. We need to go at the Denny's restaurant. Here they know that we are guests of the hotel. We have a breakfast of egg and bacon, toast and hash browns. I must say a good breakfast. Coffee or tea there and we can start the day well.

Facilities

The entire hotel is smoke, so are the ashtrays in rear doors. They have one of the few hotels with a seat made. And we have here is used extensively.

At the reception are the racks of information materials about the area. There is plenty to see for tourists, but we have no time, because we defend our friends.

In each course is an ice machine and a soda machine.
The whole hotel looks neatly groomed. Clean and shiny.
The staff is friendly. But you just expect in a hotel.

Price

Yes, when I learned never to a room directly at the hotel to ask. The price of the room was $ 120 and is often combined with tax. For the amount of room, I lost $ 138.85. However, with the breakfast there. You can use cash or credit card.

My opinion


It's a good hotel, but walking to a restaurant for breakfast I find a downside. The hotel is pretty expensive. I suggest you to book hotels via the Internet, you are always cheaper. The room of the hotel is really big and with very good facilities. Delicious Colombian coffee for example.
But I think the price just too high. Certainly compared to other hotels that we have been in the U.S..
