Tucked across the Willamette River, West Salem offers a genuine slice of suburban American life away from the tourist trail. Wallace Marine Park stretches along the riverfront with scenic trails and boat launches perfect for outdoor enthusiasts.

Comfort Suites Salem
"Everything was clean. The pool/sauna/hot tub and fitness center are open 5a-midnight, which is a generous time period compared to other hotels. Breakfast was great but it would have been exciting to have something that was clearly vegan, maybe one kind of plant milk? But we enjoyed the waffle maker. And it was really nice that the coffee/tea and some fruit stayed out 24/7! The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean and I loved the scent of the shampoo. Overall I would definitely come back."
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Salem, Oregon
"My wife and I have stayed at this hotel a couple of times within a few months during a couple of trips. It's a great hotel with great staff who are very helpful. We would definitely stay there again."
The Hotel Salem
"This was a great place to stay. Our room was very large and had a refrigerator and microwave and sofa. The staff was very friendly, they had coffee, water and cookies available and the included breakfast was good with lots of choices. We would stay again."
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Salem OR
"My room was really clean and the cleaning staff I interacted with were always really friendly and helpful. Room a little on the small side, but but not terrible. Breakfast was ok... not terrible but not great. Parking was pretty limited in the evenings. Front desk staff were there.... just not friendly or very helpful past check in. Probably won't be my go to option in Salem but wouldn't be a terrible option if there was nothing else."
Rodeway Inn Salem Northgate
"Great ice machine!"
