DoubleTree by Hilton Salem

Nice place Free EV charging. A nice gym, and pool. But $10park fee and $15/person "buffet" breakfast is a bit much. Was just a standard hotel contential bfast.

There was a brief reference to "our construction " AFTER I'D MADE THE RESERVATION! The hotel was very difficult to locate, as no visible signs except fronting I-5, which were impossible to see ... the main entrance (driveway) was blocked with no signs or arrows directing traffic. there was, when all the guests showed up, a distinct lack of "free parking" as advertised. The charges totaled $375 per night with a total charge of over $825... If all the construction was done, and nice, 375 peer night for this room was double what it might be worth! I had to ask for maid service, twice before it arrived, once at the desk, and once to the maid in the hallway. the room overlooked I-5 and Market Street, apparently a drag racers haven... noise at all hours... I wish i had taken pictures... the shrouding of the hotel with scaffolding and netting was foreboding, with guests parking among construction vehicles including driving under a raised "cherry picker " crane. The beds were made with all pillows exposed and featuring a raised embroidered pattern that made it impossible to sleep on without putting a ridge into one's face... so only useable on one side... I wish i'd taken photos of the exterior of the hotel, but i didn't.

My stay at the DoubleTree in Salem was generally enjoyable. Check-in was quick and easy, and the staff were warm and welcoming. The complimentary warm cookie at arrival was a delightful touch. I also appreciated the free breakfast, which was a convenient and tasty start to the day. There were a few drawbacks. The Wi-Fi was down the first night, though it was thankfully restored by the second. Parking was a bit of a hassle due to nearby construction. Additionally, the scent of the in-room toiletries—shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion—was quite strong and leaned heavily masculine. A more neutral or natural fragrance might be more universally appealing. Overall, despite a few minor issues, the friendly service and amenities made for a comfortable stay.

HOTEL IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. ROOM WAS CLEAN BUT THE BEDS WERE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. BREAKFAST MAY OR MAYNOT BE INCLUDED WITH YOUR STAY.

Clean rooms- the entire hotel was under construction. Right off the freeway, loud street racing at night. 6 cars were broken into in the parking lot over night and security cameras weren't working due to the construction. For $325 a night this place was a joke.

The property was under construction and located next to the freeway entrance. There was homeless encampments across the street. We also saw someone walking in the parking lot late at night with a large flashlight that was not security or part of the hotel.
