Holiday Lodge isn't the newest and it may not be the best looking hotel in Salem. But, my room was clean and the staff I dealt with were amazing. You also can't beat the price. I'll definitely be staying again.

I arrived at the motel after a long weekend trip on Amtrak. The office staff greeted me and made me feel very welcome. They were very helpful which made the end of my trip a good one. I highly recommend this hotel. Unfortunately people have given this hotel bad reviews in bad faith. I highly recommend you come check this hotel out for yourself!

You are paying cheap so expect cheap. But overall, clean, and NO bedbugs. A bit run down, but very kind owner. Our rooms firealarm even ran out of battery and was chirping 2 am and there was a kind desk assistant who quietly helped us without waking sleeping baby. Good AC. But run the sink water before using as a bit or dirt came out.
