Walls were paper thin. Could hear everything from hallway and room next door. Would not stay here again.

Pros (+) The check in staff was friendly and helpful. Free breakfast had waffles. Walking distance to a local brewery. Cheap.
Cons (-) Plumbing was an issue. The toilet in the fitness room was clogged. So was the sink in our room. Gross. They only had one person on staff at any time, so the evening clerk and the morning clerk just seemed busy/overworked. No protein at breakfast. Peanut butter would have been amazing on the waffle.
Pros (+) The staff were friendly.
Cons (-) The hotel room was filthy. My bedskirt had feces on it, cigarette hole in the bed spread (non smoking room), walls were paper thin, I could hear everything my neighbors did. :( There was actually a washcloth placed behind the headboard, I assume for soundproofing? Believe me, it didn't work with my neighbors. You heard the entire thing. I checked out and found another hotel in the area.
Pros (+) The bed was very comfortable and it was acceptably clean.
Cons (-) The overall experience was tolerable but the facility is very aged. The experience seemed unorganized when we were checking in with our dog.
Pros (+) Breakfast every morning
Cons (-) Breakfast was very early
Pros (+) Staff was very friendly. The bed itself was comfortable. Pretty cheap so I wasn't expecting much. Free breakfast was a plus.
Cons (-) Pillows were very uncomfortable. They were so fluffy that my neck was tweaked. Couldn't sleep well because of that. The walls were thin so I could hear everybody who walked by, every door slam, and the loud garbage truck come through at 5 in the morning. Was hoping to get a good nights sleep but couldn't do that with all of the noise and the terrible pillows.
Pros (+) Need I say more. Prison like atmosphere blended with rancid grease odors. Happy to escape.
Pros (+) Loved the location--close to downtown and the 5. I have stayed here every time that I have come to Salem.
Cons (-) I would suggest booking online via Kayak or Expedia rather than go by the rates that are told you upon arrival. The rates tend to be a few dollars higher if you go in person.
Pros (+) Not too much I liked, bad service
Cons (-) I requested two additional pillows, was told: We don't have any pillows!! This answer is not acceptable, especial if you have a disabled wife. And a very noise hotel. You hear all footsteps upstairs and next door. Please stay away from this place! A few blocks dows the street are enough and better hotels. Whit a NAME Windham after the hotel name, what a disappointment!! Never visit this place agai...
