    No signs to find it. Needs to let people know where they are located on the side of the building where the wells fargo is. Price isn’t worth $300/nt. $200 is more like it.

    Loved it.

    They need blinds for the bedroom window. There is a string light on all night from the Wells Fargo bank next door and blinds did not block the light so I had to sleep facing away. Having a black out shade would be great there. Not a slotted blind.

    Very clean

    My dog was eating snacks on the floor left from the person before us, there was toothpaste caked in multiple places in one of the bathroom drawers, and a dirty napkin folded under the beside table to keep it from wobbling, the pillows had significant pilling on the cases which felt like inferior quality

    Very cool place to stay, loved the exposed brick and beams, soaring ceilings and natural light, and overall design, appreciated that it was dog friendly and didn't charge a fee for it, loved that they had bikes, good water pressure, walkable and safe area, comfortable mattress

    We were there on a cold winter weekend. The thermostat was set at 75, which was entirely too high for us. We could not adjust it to our liking.

    The place was clean and pleasant. The location was perfect.

    This time, there were no kitchen towels or hairdryer. Would have really appreciated hooks in the bathroom and in the living room. Would absolutely love a luggage rack as well. I felt the floors weren’t as clean this time as well.

    This was my third time staying here and I enjoyed it as always! So comfy and a great setup.

    I wish I'd stayed longer.

    No elevator that we could find, so if that is a problem for you, stay on the 1st floor.

    When you travel with a dog it's nice to have a restaurant right there that allows you to dine on the patio with your dog. The restaurant was great. We decided to do take out because we were tired from the drive, but could have used the patio with our dog in tow. Quiet neighborhood behind to walk your dog and a poop station on property. We will stay there again the next time we visit our kids in Sterling, VA.

    I will definitely come back here and for the price it was an excellent option, get downtown Salem location with two restaurants within a 5 ft walk. Very much better than the suite at the local Hyatt Place we stayed for our first five days in town, less money. We got a one bedroom queen suite and it was like a one bedroom apartment with high ceilings of rustic wood, everything was exceptionally clean and quiet. The check in was seamless as our building and door codes with instructions were text to us. Comfy, with all updated furnishings, luxury towels and toiletries, every channel u could imagine, even a quality air mattress for an extra guest. There was local coffee, everything needed to cook a great meal in the full size kitchen and beautiful lighting that created a warm ambiance throughout. We will definitely be back at Christmas

    The only issue I had was that there was a strong food smell when I entered the room. After checking I found that the trash was not emptied in the kitchen and bathroom from what I assume were the previous guests. Going up and down stairs if you are staying on the second floor didn't bother me but some might find it inconvenient.

    I stayed here for two nights. It's a great location in downtown Salem, convenient to multiple restaurants, a brewery, a coffee shop and other shops as well. There are two grocery stores within driving distance and a mall within about 20 minutes. Nothing seemed to be too far away. The room comes with a microwave, electric range, dishwasher, washer and dryer as well as an actual refrigerator (not a mini fridge like most hotel rooms). I did not use the range but otherwise all appliances were clean and in working order. TV service is provided by Hulu. It was fine and had the local and basic cable channels you'd expect. Internet speeds were great. I got over 100 Mbps when running a speed test and had no issues using my laptop while watching something on the TV at the same time. I did not have any issues with noisy neighbors as some others have noted but I also sleep with earplugs so your mileage may vary in that regard. I did check for bedbugs upon arrival and found no signs of any. I had no bites or other issues after sleeping in the bed too. I also liked the touch pads for building and room entry instead of using cards like a chain hotel.

    Sitting area was kinda dark. At my age that's a problem. Sofa was too soft. Again, at my age I need something firm.

    Bed was firm; I like that. Plenty of room. Kitchen facilities were outstanding. TV worked great. Hot shower without waiting. Quiet. Breakfast was good and quick.

    If there was WiFi in the rooms, there was no sign saying what the password was. So, I wasn't able to do some work on my computer that I needed to do and it was too late to talk to anyone about it.

    We stayed in a one bedroom apartment. The designer found a nice mixture between comfortable and stylish. We could have easily lived there for a month. There was a common space with books and bikes and cookies etc. We didn't use them since we didn't stay long, but I would have otherwise.

    It was hard to find the entry. Because the door has another name, motor lofts, or something.

    I liked the convenient location. I planned to go to the brewery and do a famous hike nearby. I like the design. Very relaxing.
