Oregon Garden Resort
Such a beautiful setting near the Oregon Gardens. So nice to have spacious rooms in separate buildings on the grounds. Very reasonable as stay included breakfast and admission for both of us to the Oregon Gardens next door. Breakfast included eggs and sausage and all sorts of sweets.

Comfort Suites Salem
Soaking tub was very nice. Bed was very comfortable but we're glad we brought our own pillows as the room's had no support as seems to be typical for hotels nowadays. Not enough light in the bedroom. Tile floor in the main room was sticky - we think it's the cleaning products because it didn’t appear ...
