Park View Inn - Salem

For a $95 room in a decent spot off the interstate, it’s overall clean and not bad for its age. Some wallpaper edges may be bubbling, and the tub might be stained like other reviews mention.

A cute little Inn, and I’d stay again. It was really nice and clean. I just wish there were sheer curtains on the windows for privacy. Without them, the regular curtains have to stay closed and the room gets very dark.

The mold and bad smells, mixed with way too much floral spray, were so awful that I couldn’t even stay the night. The front counter lady made the whole experience negative. I also saw one housekeeper drinking in her car, while another was constantly on the phone. Maybe they should focus more on cleaning. Worst hotel I’ve stayed in. Save your money and go somewhere else.

The room was clean, the maid came daily, the staff were friendly, and the rate was the lowest around. It’s also well placed near major roads, shops, and restaurants. But after four nights, the sag in the mattress and cheap pillows left my back and neck sore for days after checkout. Thin walls let me hear the neighboring rooms, and worn weatherstripping let cold winter air in. The heater ran constantly, making it hard to sleep deeply. There seemed to be about as many local long-term residents and couples renting rooms for the day as out-of-town guests. I smelled a lot of weed and saw people pull up to a couple of rooms, stay a few moments, then drive away. I won’t be back.
