Road Trip

Was traveling through Salem on our way to Bellingham to visit friends. Needed a place to stay for the night and location and ratings looked good. Front desk staff were very nice! - gave us great recommendations on nearby bar for draft beer and wineries. See Taproot review. Room was mediocre. Decor was a bit fussy (guess that’s the “historic” part) and bed had a trough in the middle. Breakfast buffet was pretty good - coffee just okay. Had a drink and bite to eat at Bentley’s - see review - not good.

Expensive but worthwhile

My wife and I gave ourselves a treat and decided to stay upmarket. This hotel is conveniently located to the Riverfront Park, the famous Carousel, the State Capitol and the Hallie Ford Museum of Art. Yes, the Hotel has seen its glory days but the decor is well maintained. The tariff is on the up side but the rooms are spacious and the bed in our room was comfortable. The breakfast includes both hot and cold options, though limited.The pool,spa and gymroom are an attractive bonus.

Friendly Service, large room, and perfect location

We spent 3 nights at the Grand Hotel in Salem. We had made plans to visit the Willamette Valley. Salem and the Grand Hotel were the ideal location. The breakfast buffet was great. It had a wonderful variety-perfect for the big or little breakfast person. The staff at the desk were very attentive never allowing you to wait for their service. The parking under the hotel was ideal. Our room was spacious and provided all that we needed.

Needs renovation

This hotel supports an adjoining convention center. The lobby is huge, but is starting to look worn. The staff is friendly and couldn't be nicer. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable but need updating. They are getting traffic worn. I agree with another reviewer who said the mattress is too soft. Perhaps they are approaching the end of their life. The bathroom has a problem in that it is small and the shower/tub is difficult to get in and out of; no grab rails. Also, the showerhead has a gooseneck so its so high an NBA forward could stand under it. My wife had trouble reaching it. I'm surprised a convention hotel does not have in-room safes. Parking under the hotel is complimentary. The complimentary breakfast includes both hot and cold items and a good variety.

Top Notch Customer Service.

I was more than impressed with the customer service at this hotel. They went above and beyond to answer questions and to make us comfortable. The food is AMAZING, from the included breakfast buffet to the moderately priced cuisine in the attached restaurant. Room service was free and quick. The pool and fitness room were beautiful and clean. The bed was a dream, and the convention center modern and efficient. The surroundings are beautiful with a great park to view scenery and walk along the river. I’ll be back, but next time I’m bringing my family!
