Front desk staff was amazing!! Very accommodating. Rooms are clean. Nice size. Complimentary water. Pool area is clean. My only complaint is having to walk to Denny's for breakfast. The staff there is rude their prices are ridiculous. The voucher you get doesn't even begin to cover anything.
My husband and I stayed at this hotel on our way home from San Francisco on December 29, 2024. We were road weary and tired so we were ready for a place to land for a good nights rest. Checking in, we were greeted with a very friendly smile and reception. We were informed that 2 bottles of water were in the fridge for us, he handed us a couple cookies plus he also let us know that breakfast was served at Denny's restaurant right next door all inclusive! I just have to say that after the discourse with this young man, my hubby and I were very happy that we chose BW Plus Mill Creek Inn in Salem Oregon yesterday. I would 100% recommend this hotel.
Early December stay for family emergency. Staff was very accommodating for extending additional days. Rooms are very clean and mechanically well maintained. Steven and Dorian provided pleasant and efficient check in service and greeted us each night on our return to the hotel.
From the moment we walked in and were greeted by Misty our stay was great. She was so sweet and accommodating. Traveling with kiddos can be stressful. She greeted my kids and went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable and fun experience. She recommended other BW accommodations in other cities we mentioned we travel too. The room was comfortable and the pool was great.
The hotel is decorated beautifully for Christmas! The staff is very friendly and the hotel is super nice, spacious, and well cleaned. They treat all guest kindly and I have no complaints, you even get a Dennys food voucher to use and free cookies!
As soon as we walked in we were greeted by Misty, who had the best customer series I have ever experienced. Not only did she welcome us into this beautiful hotel but she made my daughter feel more like a princess than anyone did at Disney land that we are just coming from! This was just supposed to be somewhere we stopped on the way home but the amenities of this hotel make my whole family want to make this a regular place to visit! Misty has gone above and beyond making us feel at home during our stay ensuring we have anything we need. This spectacular woman has restored my faith that the hospitality business is still alive and well.
First off the customer service from Misty far exceeds any past experience's with other hotels. She is amazing! The room is so clean, love the amenities, indoor pool, microwave and fridge, free parking and right off the highway!! Misty deserves my gratitude for being so accommodating and the cookies were delicious!! Couldn't have asked for more after driving 16 hours and wanting a safe place to rest :)
The front desk is the friendliest ever, especially Misty, who remembers us every time we stay. Clean, inviting, comfortable rooms, great holiday decorations. Who could ask for more? Not us, that's for sure! Did I mention their location? It's so handy to get back to Interstate 5, yet close to state offices and restaurants.
Shout out to Misty at the front desk. I found myself in a pickle having made reservations for later in the week for a work trip. Unfortunate events came about, and I needed to cancel. Online, my reservation stated it was non-refundable, and I had missed my cancellation window. To be courteous, I wanted to let the hotel know that I would not be there at all. Misty was able to cancel it for me! I have stayed at Mill Creek Inn several times for work. The location is great for those that need to get to downtown state offices, and it is SOOO easy to find. My rooms have always been clean and comfortable. I can speak for myself and my work peers, this is our go-to hotel. Thank you, Mill Creek Inn employees!
This was neither a business nor pleasure trip having arrived in town to pick up our car that had been in an accident 9 weeks earlier on the Oregon Coast but turned out to be a fantastic experience (the one night, not the accident)!!! The facilities were new, clean, and quiet with great amenities. The staff was friendly, helpful, and professional.
Excellent customer service by Steven, he went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Bedding was very soft and comforting. We were very happy that the hot tub was open until 11pm since we arrived so late. Rooms very clean. I would definitely stay here again!
I stay at this motel approximately 1 week a month for work. I stay here because it's a great motel with very friendly staff. The location is centrally located and it's in a very safe area. I have a work vehicle with work equipment in my vehicle and I have never had any problems with theft or damage at this location. The rooms are clean, roomy and it's pet friendly in specially reserved rooms. It's hard to find a hotel that services your room every day but this one does without asking. There is a clean pool area for families, hot tub, exercise room and a 24 hour coffee bar.
Beautiful hotel and rooms were very nice. With supplied vouchers, paid less than $10 for breakfast for 3. Can't beat that. Manager was extremely polite and gave us advice on surroundings. Situated in a very easily accessible area and close to things to do
Friendly, helpful staff. All the staff were great! Clean rooms and great pillows. Had a wonderful stay. They also have a restaurant (Denny's) in the same parking lot which was convenient. Enjoyed the princess stairwell. Staff even took a picture for us.
Our last trip to this hotel was in 2019 so it had been 5 years. We were not disappointed. Still excellent service with friendly professional and accommodating staff. This Best Western offers so many extra little things that makes you want to not only come back but also refer it to friends. i.e. cookies when you arrive, complimentary bottles of water in your room, make up mirror. They also have a handout of recommended restaurants close by.
Nice property. Great ADA room—large and comfortable. Super staff. The not-working bathroom power plugs were discovered at an inopportune time for getting them fixed in a timely manner, but we managed using other plugs for hair drying, charging devices, etc. great coffee making machine in the office area makes mochas, lattes, etc. breakfast chit for Dennys across the way is only good until 10, and since we are late sleepers, that perk was worthless to us.
Sandy was the most amazing front desk host! She was very welcoming, positive, funny, and all around amazing! She deserves to be employee of the month! And a big raise on top of that. If we ever come back we will ask for Sandy. Also they have a moss wall that is real. Really cool.
It was a great room, real clean and modern. Amenities were good - great coffee drinks in the lobby, including but not limited to latte s and espresso- a surprise after getting off the road. I would refer this place to anyone. The distance from a pleasant restaurant was an added bonus
Professional and pleasant staff. Dennys breakfast included. Large room.Comfortable, modern, clean rooms with comfortable beds. Premium toiletries included. Premium coffee in lobby. Located close to downtown Salem. We will stay here again!
Female evening check in staff were friendly and helpful. They recommended places close to where I was seeing the concert to eat. Upon arriving back they asked about my dinner and the concert. Would love to have this kind of experience at every hotel I visit.
The hospitality here is top notch! Not to mention super comfortable beds, water in fridge waiting for u, great pillows, free Dennys breakfast, great pool, sauna, hot tub, gym…. The list goes on! This management team has thought of everything. I can see why when we arrived the parking lot was packed! Loved our stay.
Top notch service! The gal at the front desk that I unfortunately did not get her name was so kind! To the gal with dark hair and glasses, thank you for the hospitality and the explanation of all the wonderful amenities. The room was clean and well stocked, the espresso coffee machine was incredible, big pool and great fitness area! Loved the fall decorations as well.
Warmly greeted by staff when we arrived, the rooms were clean, and the beds were comfortable, the pool was clean and tons of fun for the group. Was a great stay for a soccer weekend with family and teammates. Breakfast at Denny's was a nice change up from continental breakfast.
Misty was awesome. Greeted me with a smile and a cookie. great service, taking care of veterans and weary travelers. Best Western for life!xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Staff was very helpful and friendly. There was a mix up with my reservation and the front desk manager, made the changes I needed with a smile. Property was clean and cozy. Nice pool for our soccer players. The Dennys breakfast was a nice treat.
First I want to Thank Jamarius for all his help . He was very informative and helpful . The best customer service I have had in a long time . I had accidentally booked in another best western and it was almost midnight he was kind . Helped us . Thank you so much for being so kind and helpful . He made this the most pleasant experience we have had in along time …. Hes work ethic is by far the best ….
Very clean and the staff was very nice and quick to help when I had questions. I also liked the Denny's breakfast that is included! Instead of a standard hotel breakfast, you get a voucher for Denny's plus 10% off any thing else. Great job Best Western!
The front desk staff is extremely helpful, welcoming and friendly. The rooms are spacious, well thought out and clean. Beds are comfortable and they give you two different types of pillows. I prefer a softer pillow vs a firmer one, and they had one of each.
Misty is phenomenal and so is all of the staff. We stay here quite a bit for work. This Best Western is a great spot to stay! Plus instead of regular continental breakfast they hook you up with a Denny's Voucher for the Dennys in the parking lot!! 10/10
The staff was very friendly, professional, and generally helpful. The room was clean and quiet. I really appreciated the voucher at the restaurant next door for breakfast. I look forward to my next stay at this hotel, highly recommended. Jamarius was especially helpful during my stay.
My top three areas of criteria for a great hotel are: 1. Must have a comfortable bed. 2. Must have a shower head that gets you clean and you have a strong water flow. 3. Must be quiet! and dark. 4. I bring my own pillow but the pillows at this hotel were super comfy!
The Staff of Misty, Sandy, Dylan, Dorian, Holland and James were fantastic, and the amenities were perfect for our stay. The complimentary breakfasts at Denny's was a great solution and the location was very convenient. We will certainly recommend this location to Family and Friends.
What a lovely surprise! We usually stay at hyatts but based on previous reviews stayed here with our dogs. We had an enormous spacious room and were very comfortable during our stay. The free cookies are delicious and the breakfast at Dennys was perfect. Can't say enough good things about this hotel. Highly recommend it!
This place hit all of my checkpoints: great customer service from Missy, clean spacious king room, great lighting, comfortable chair and ottoman, great shower, easy parking, very comfortable bed, even the tv and a/c were better than most (an actual easy tv guide). Having the voucher for Denny's was as added plus. We would definitely stay again when in the area!
We enjoy this hotel when staying in Salem. They offer fresh baked cookies, bottles water and they have a cappuccino machine that makes several kinds of coffee drinks. Always excellent customer service. Bed are super comfortable. They also offer a free breakfast at the Dennys right there in the same parking lot.
After a harrowing and traffic-filled 9 hours of driving, I was so cheered up by Misty at the front desk and her funny and kind manner. While I did not have a reservation, and they are close to full up, Misty found me a lovely and spacious room, along with a great chocolate chip cookie! I would stay here again, very happily. The service was superb and the room was just great.
Great hotel and great staff! Will stay here again! They've got a pool and Dennys is on the lot where you can get a meal and a drink too! Nice and clean hotel with comfy beds. Pet friendly so don't be surprised if you see a pet walking their owner! Great experience!
The room was very comfortable, especially the mattress; not too hard and not too soft. Temperature was easy to control and all was clean. Best of all was the staff, especially Misty who made sure we had a sack breakfast the morning we had to leave early to catch a flight. She was willing to help with anything we needed. We'll be back!
The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The hotel was clearly recently renovated and well taken care of. The staff was also very open to room requests and requests for a room service nightly during my tenure there. I'm glad to recommend this hotel and will plan on staying here again during my next visit.
Misty the front desk lady have an amazing personality. Great Customer service she always has a smile on her face and knows how to make people laugh. She answers all our questions. She also gave us complimentary breakfast coupon at Dennys. Housekeepers did an amazing job in keeping the rooms clean even the lobby and coffee area. Staff here are very friendly. Definitely will be coming back!
Well kept motel & guest room. Free breakfast at nearby Denny's Restaurant, $10.00 value. I like to power walk every morning. Local walking area was safe & convenient for my 2 1/2 mile exercise experience. I will go back there again if in Salem, Oregon.
The hotel is very nice and very clean! We had just had a very bad experience with a Best Western in Seaside and were a little worried about this one. But it turned out to be a very pleasant experience. The only thing I would change, if I could, would be for them to have a on site breakfast bar instead of sending us to Denny's with a voucher. The breakfast there was not very good.
Friendly, smiling staff are not easy to come by, but every single person we interacted with was stellar! It's a rarity these days and I was impressed. Every call I made prior, every in person conversation with the front desk and housekeeping you were made to feel welcomed and appreciated. Were here for the Ironman competition and this was only 3 miles from the venue. Very much appreciated that breakfasts were included at the Denny's in the same parking lot. Also, this BW has 2 private saunas with showers - an unexpected treat for relaxing. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Also, the room size was large which was helpful given all the extra travel gear we needed. They even offered rags to wipe down the bikes!! Amazing!!!
Everything about this Best Western was tops. The location was great, the rooms were fantastic, the staff was wonderful, and the amenities were first rate. The breakfast deal that the hotel has with the Denny's that shares the parking lot is awesome and should be the model for how hotels do breakfast. The front desk staff was incredible, with Holland going above and beyond to take care of guests. I will absolutely stay at this property again the next time I'm in town.
Booked a room last minute while on a road trip. Stayed a Thursday night in July. From check in to check out staff was excellent. Decor is new. Place is clean. Our room #326 was very spacious. Toiletries and towels were generous. Cookies were given at check in. I really appreciated cold complimentary waters in the room. Usually we are handed warm ones at reception. It's these little easy conveniences that make a difference. This BW should be an example for all others. Recommend.
I would recommend staying at this BW hotel. Staff are caring and very hospitable. We had the best experience.
Loved the meal voucher for Denny's, updated room decor, complimentary water bottles in refrigerator, and cookies upon check-in early! Appreciated the front desk manager looking out for her employees, says a lot as she was genuinely positive and inviting. Great first impression.
We stayed here at your lovely hotel for 3 nights June 24,25,&26. The staff, each & everyone of them were super nice, very accommodating & helpful. We loved being here. A special “great big” thank you to MISTY at the front desk. She went above & beyond. Dave & Linda Jackson. BTW, cleanliness exceptional
I love the Best Western Plus Mill Creek Inn. I've stayed many times. The rooms, the entry, and the stairs and its upstairs entry are beautiful and the service is always excellent. Misty goes out of her way to help with anything we need. Highly recommended!
Best Western Plus Mill Creek Inn staff is friendly and courteous. The hotel is clean and the lobby is beautiful. The beds are comfortable and pillows are fluffy. It's nice to receive a getting from all the staff. Front desk staff greet you on entrance and exit. We will be back
The property is really quiet and in an easy-to-access location, which in Salem, Oregon is not easy to achieve. The hotel is quiet and the pool/sauna facility is outstanding.
Very comfortable, good location. Nearby restaurants and shopping, but quiet enough for a good night's rest.
My family had a very nice time at this Best Western. We will be staying here again. Very clean and comfortable. Hotel looked nice when we pulled in. The Lobby was very pretty and clean. The staff was very helpful and nice.
Clean and comfortable - which are my two most important 'must-haves' in a hotel. Misty at the front desk was amazing. She was a wonderfully lively and fun host and a great ambassador for your hotel, FYI. I often travel through Oregon and would definitely stay here again!
This hotel was super clean and I love that infividual toiletries were still available. The arrangement for breakfast at denny's was super and the cookies to die for. Every single staff member was extra kind and personable. I will definitely return on my next trip to Oregon.
Facility was very clean with professional attitude I would come back and stay any time to whom it concerned I think a management position would complement the facility at mill creek with Misty on the job thanks, Perry Dodson I would hire Misty as her professionalism would complement any business!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Salem Mills location. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We were concerned at checkin because we were so close to elevators. However we could not even hear them next store to us. Over all a great , clean, enjoyable stay.
We definitely recommend this Best Western. It's right at the top of the Best Western chain!! And they offered a treat for our dog.
Was the nicest and most comfortable hotel during my trip to Oregon. Super comfy and clean room and shower. Ample parking with breakfast ticket for dennys next door. Staff was super friendly. I slept so well here after a rough stay elsewhere beforehand. Very close to Silver Falls. Would stay again if near the area. Close to downtown as well (less than 10 min drive).
Beautiful hotel very nice room the service was just marvelous the stuff was so nice and kindly. Good parking the room was big and comfortable. We get all what we need and in a good price but the service of the stuff was above of all others think. Very enjoy
This Best Western is different from the ones I had stayed at before. They do not have an on-site breakfast; instead, they provide vouchers to eat at the nearby Denny's, which didn't bother me. The location is conveniently situated off Interstate 5 and near a quiet area with car dealerships. I chose this Best Western not only for its convenience but also because my son had an appointment at the Salem Hospital, which is literally down the street. The double queen bedroom was clean and really nice. I don't know if this Best Western recently opened or remodeled, but it was a pleasant experience overall. Great hostess, quiet area, conveniently located near Interstate 5 - what more could you ask for?
It was an absolute pleasure staying here. The room, and the hotel as a whole, were clean and the employees were genuinely nice and friendly. We really appreciated the 24/7 coffee bar in the lobby. Misty at the front desk was delightful and made us feel very welcome.
Misty was amazing at check in, all the staff were very friendly and helpful. It's clean. The only negative was our experience at Denny's where a free breakfast was provided. The food was poorly prepared and the restaurant was dirty. Other than that, we recommend staying here.
All staff were very friendly and accommodating. Many extra's added (2 bottles of water in room, cookies, fancy coffee in lobby). Nice continental breakfast at Denny's restaurant just across the parking lot. All around clean and beautiful. We will definitely stay here for all future events.
Went for a family event near by, used points that had and got the suite which was very . Even my teenagers were impressed. The pool and hot tub were great.
Clean rooms and friendly staff I would definitely stay here again. Pool and spa was great. Easy location to find. Go check it out even a free cookie. AaaaaaaaaaaaaaAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
We try to stay at Best Westerns when we can but this was our favorite one so far! I would highly recommend the BW Plus Mill Creek Inn!
This is our favorite hotel in Salem. Over the last 8 months, we have stayed at this Best Western every month. Most of the time, we are greeted by Misty. All of the staff are friendly and the rooms are clean. We have always been placed on the top floor at our request. Unlike many other hotels, this Best Western offers you breakfast vouchers at the Denny's located across the hotel parking lot which provides you with more food choices. The hotel is run efficiently and, yes, they do have cookies!
We travel from Northern WA to CA at least once a year. We usually stay here because it's easy to reach and we can't everything done and get back on the road easily in the morning. We have always been greeted by friendly staff and have been satisfied with our rooms.
Very friendly staff - especially Misty. Clean room. Great complimentary cookies at the front desk. AND a super coffee bar in the lobby that makes good latte's quickly and for no extra charge. The breakfast provided was at the Denny's restaurant across the parking lot. Vouchers worked very easily.
This hotel exceeded our expectations. The young lady checking us in (Holland) was very professional, friendly and helpful covering everything we needed to know about amenities, pool, coffee bar, breakfast at the next door Denny's (included). The room was very spacious with a separate counter for coffee that included a sink and two high chairs to sit at the counter. The room also had a comfortable chair to sit in near the window.
The Mill Creek Inn has been our go to property in the Salem area for the last 14 years. It is conveniently located just off I-5 and offers easy access to the Salem area and the rural areas surrounding Salem. It has consistently provided and excellent place to stay, having professional, proficient and very personable staff. Located just next door to Denny's the breakfast voucher gives full access to the menu with your choice of menu items, with a $10.00 discount. If by chance you are an aficionado of true British style food and beer the Santiam Brewery is just a 10 minuet drive away, featuring a wonderful full bodied Extra Special Bitter on cask, and great steak and kidney pie with mushy peas and chips, Oh yeah the fish and chips are as well super. So again when in the Salen area, give the Mill Creek Inn a try, you won't regret it.
This is the 2nd time I have stayed at this Best Western and it is hands down the best one I have very stayed at. Clean facilities and BEST staff. The staff is friendly and super helpful. Misty and Kassi were especially helpful when we needed assistance.
I stayed in the 2 bedroom suite. The furniture is outdated but It was clean and spacious. The bathroom is large and the shower water was hot. It has a small kitchen with two mini fridges. The staff is super friendly. We enjoyed the indoor pool, jacuzzi, and gym.
Very clean and comfortable and quiet.Little extras like bottled water and good coffee and complimentary cookies made the stay even more pleasant. We didnt have time to use the pool, but others seemed to enjoy it. Wish I could have stayed more than one night.
Very responsive and helpful front desk people when I had to get off a train and find a place to stay due to a problem after day surgery on my eye. I looked frightful, had no luggage, but they were very accommodating…even had a comb and toothbrush. I was exhausted and really appreciated the clean comfortable room and fluffy pillow as I sank into the bed.I hadn't eaten for 24 hrs and was grateful the next morning for the breakfast coupon for Dennys next door. If you're in love with your pillow they will even let you buy it. I did.
This is the BEST Best Western I've ever stayed at and that's a lot of BW stays. The hotel itself is impressively clean and cared for. The front desk staff polite, welcoming, friendlyh, attentive to my requests (all fulfilled), and the rooms spotless, large, quiet. Plus the pool and hot tub (I don't usually use these at hotels). The whole feeling here is way above and beyond other very good Best Westerns. The management and staff should be told and rewarded.
We enjoyed the spacious room, very clean, very comfortable, and very nice to have access to fresh lemon-spruced water and Denny's breakfast. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. For a future stay in Salem, this is a sure bet.
For the price of this hotel it's a great deal and worth it. My mom stayed here while waiting for me and my son to land in Portland but ended up getting delayed another day so she got the room to herself lol. She enjoyed the pool and hot tub said they were nice and clean and perfect temp. The rooms were nice as well and the front counter gal named Misty was very sweet and helpful and gave her a room close to her handicap parking and the pool. In the morning she got breakfast from dennys for free and they even let her bring us some breakfast too even though they didn't have to. Overall great place to stay and highly recommend it.
I would give 2.5 stars, actually. The hotel itself isn't horrible. It was very inviting when you walk in. The lady who checked us in was pleasant. I was surprised by the breakfast offering as it isn't your typical hotel breakfast-included deal. It is Denny's located across the parking lot. They give you a voucher to use. When she was explaining it to us, she sounded very discouraging explaining how many people were staying with them and gave a "good luck" vibe as she spoke. It would have been nicer, had we had more time in the morning but we enjoyed our breakfast. It was a tad stressful having to have table service after waiting for a table, that is. We were needing to be at the event we came for but it worked out okay. The room was nice and beds comfortable. It was pretty noisy but may have been because we stayed on the first floor. What knocked off some stars was our experience with the hot tub (and surrounding area). We spent all day at an event and our bodies were tired. We were looking forward to soaking in the hot tub. When we arrived to the pool area, a young boy was having a coughing fit. It sounded as if he probably inhaled some water or something. Anyway, the boy and his family were on there way out leaving just our family there. My son and husband went in the hot tub first. My son was not in there long before he started having a coughing fit. My husband came out saying there was something wrong as his eyes were burning. They swam in the pool and I, myself, did not attempt the hot tub. I am an asthmatic and my chest was feeling tight just sitting across the way.. After a while some soccer teens came in. One went in the hot tub but the same thing happened. He started coughing and came out and left. My husband told the worker that was in there and he put up a sign closing the hot tub. To leave the pool you have to pass the hot tub. Our nose and eyes stung and burned and I began to wheeze. It was that strong! Very abnormal strong chemical smell. Almost like amonia. Anyhow, my husband mentioned it to the front desk. They shrugged and seemed disinterest. My husband told them the maintenance person closed the hot tub and asked if they received any complaints. He just said "no". He lacked concern and didn't offer a "Thank you for letting us know. I will let the management know to ensure safety to our guests" or something along those lines showing care and concern. That would have gone far with me. Anyway, my son coughed for the next 45 minutes or so. I continued to wheeze and cough for a bit, though I did not need to use my inhaler. We were hoping to end our long day feeling relaxed and restful. So needless to say, we were very disappointed. We could have stayed down the street where our teenager was staying with her team and enjoyed ourselves much more but choose BW because of their rewards program. We almost always have great service and experiences when we stay at a Best Western but this was not one of them, unfortunately.
Great breakfasts at nearby Denny's with a meal voucher they provided and discounts of our other meals there. The hotel was beautiful and the room was large. The saunas were an added bonus I wasn't expecting.
Misty was very friendly at the front desk was able to let us check in a little early.Our room is so clean! Great space, fluffy pillows, the bathroom is amazing, very nice place to stay. We will definitely come back and stay again! Thank you for the friendly service!
I booked the wrong room. It was quickly apparent that I needed an ADA room. The staff moved us to an ADA room which was perfect and easily accommodated my wheelchai. The staff was friendly and very helpful
Location close to both freeway and town center. Breakfast at Dennys next door, very nice staff. Cookies on registering were a nice touch. Ask for the lemon.Roomwith small fridge and microwave. Good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Didn't hear any noise during the night. A very pleasant stay
Great place to stay. Staff were very helpful and friendly and room was great. One of the Best BW we have stayed at this year.Would highly recommend this BW for a overnight stay or longer. Breakfast was at next door Dennys and it was fine also.
I've stayed there many times it's always a nice place to stay always great service and the clean rooms the Denny's next door is pretty cool has a sports bar and Oregon lottery games makes it nice to pass the time
Thank you Misty and Jenn for all your hospitality! We will be back! As a former hospitality worker I was more than pleased with the cleanliness of our room and the professionalism of your staff, they should be commended for their efforts.
This hotel is literally right off the main freeway .. I5 .. through Oregon. We had to check in a few hours early because of airport arrivals. No issue, and no extra charge. Breakfast was supplied by a restaurant voucher for Dennys Restaurant right next door. Clean, everything in the room available and worked. Free coffee alcove available outside the room if you share with a later sleeper.
We stayed at the Best Western Plus Mill Creek in Salem Oregon. The front desk clerk named Jen was very helpful and Courteous. Our room was super clean and comfortable we only stay Best Western. We came to visit our daughter that is going to college near by and really enjoyed our stay. This place is worth the stay.
Beautiful hotel!! Friendly staff friendly desk help! Room was the best place we've ever been. Needed some directions desk help look on computer explained the words and printed map. Big, comfortable room. Great bed . If we ever come back this way will stay again.
Our room was exceptionally clean and had great amenities the pool hot tub kiddie pool and sauna are very nicely maintained the staff was very kind of on checking in and I would definitely stay here again.
Stayed one night at this hotel while on a road trip with family. There were 3 of us so we had a suite with 2 Queen beds and a pull out. I pulled the short straw for the pull out but it was surprisingly comfortable considering the place we had stayed the night before had a horrible pull out. Liked being able to go to Denny's for the breakfast and the room was extremely spacious. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Nice hotel with pretty landscaping. Cute seasonal decor. Exceptional front desk staff--professional, efficient, and friendly. Very clean, comfortable room. Love the coffee station in the lobby. Very dog friendly. We didn't love the breakfast vouchers for Dennys, the food is not great and the restaurant is dirty. Other than that everything was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay.
For being a hotel that excepts pets, my room was very clean. Normally I wouldn't walk around with out shoes, here the carpet was so clean I felt comfortable to be bare footed. I was able to leave my dog in the room while my boyfriend and I were in the sauna, hot tub or having breakfast at Denny's on the other side of the parking lot. I will definitely stay at Best Western Plus locations.
The hotel was nice but the breakfast that was included was Danny's and had very limited option as part of the hotel service. We Waited for over an hour to be seated and another hour for cold food to be deliveredto the table. This is unacceptable service. Extremely dissatisfied.
This hotel is so nice ! This was our second visit here and we loved the room we were assigned on third floor, with a little bar and bar stools, fridge and keurig. The little fitness center is perfect for a short stay and the pool, spa and sauna looked good too. Dennys is adjacent and it was reasonable price and hotel offered free breakfast (or 10 bucks off breakfast of your choice). We sat in lounge and played keno-fun! We will definitely stay here again.
Would be nice for them to make is easier to use the gift car they promoted at the end they didn't put it on my bill so ya not going back unless they put both of the 50$ gift card on there other then that it was fine
We stopped here on our way back from Sunriver so we could spend a day at the Enchanted Forest in Salem. This hotel was great. Perfect pool for our kids - awesome that they have a baby wading pool in addition to regular pool and hot tub. We stayed in a one room suite which allowed our kids to have a separate space. The hotel staff was beyond kind and helpful. And breakfast at Dennys (vouchers of $10 per person included) was great. Way better than the usually breakfasts included at a hotel. Would definitely stay here again!
The hotel itself was really nice. But our vehicle was broken into and robbed in the parking lot on our first night. They stole cash and multiple items. It was well lit, right on the road, right out front, and our vehicle was of course locked with the windows up. We reported it to the hotel staff right away. The front desk gal was super nice and said the manager could look at the camera footage, since a camera was looking down on our vehicle. He wasn't there when it happened but he was there when we were checking out, and he didn't say anything to us about it. We thought maybe we'd get a free night or something, but they didn't do anything to try to make our hard weekend and easier. Seems like they'd do something since it happened on their property.
We love staying here while visiting the enchanted forest, the kids love to swim and it's nice getting breakfast vouchers for Dennys too! Nice clean spacious rooms ,we'll definitely be back! Even our out of town family was impressed with the hotel
I travelled for work, the room was clean, service was friendly (thank you, Misty!), and evenings were quiet. I would definitely stay here again if I were required to travel for work again. Only complaint is that location doesn't have much within walking distance, just a Denny's. It is freeway close, though.
I stayed at the Best Western Plus Mill Creek Inn for 5 days in August 2023. The room was clean and very well taken care of with everything in good working order. The hotel was also well cleaned and maintained inside and out, including the common areas. The staff were all nice, polite and helpful. The breakfast coupon for Denny's worked out well because the food and service were both great. I'd definitely recommend staying here.
Misty and Martell couldn't have been better hosts. Very friendly, helpful, professional and just good folks. From the time we booked the room to our departure our experience was more than expected. We were very surprised to see our room based on the rate we paid. The room was much larger than a normal hotel room, is very well maintained and was very clean. It is clear all of the employees take great pride in their jobs from the hosts at the front desk to the maintenance and house keeping staff. Thank you!
Wonderful staff, they made sure our stay was comfortable and that we had everything we needed. Big thank you to Misty for engaging with our 11 year old granddaughter and maybe spoiling her just a little.
Not our favorite BW, not family friendly… went w kids. Breakfast at Denny's by voucher; inadequate on-site gathering space. Staff not allowing conference room use for large parties. Older business oriented property w dark interior; could use upgrading. Good lobby coffee service area. Newer, family friendly properties are around the corner which include on site hot breakfast service.
There's a reason why they call it the best Western because they are the best. The service was outstanding. Everybody was polite. I couldn't ask for a better experience. We were served cookies when we arrived
Friendly and helpful staff, clean rooms and comfortable beds, great price, great amenities, what more can I say! Excellent place to stay! Vouchers were given for breakfast at the nearby Denny's, and the food was excellent.
The front desk shift supervisor Misty is the best! I have been traveling to Salem once every week for 8 weeks and she is always very welcoming/professional when I arrive after a long trip. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. Perfect stop for those who are traveling for business, solo or with a small family.
Stayed here for a baseball tournament for the last game of my sons team. Had a pool party going away planned for the kids. When coaches ordered pizza we were told we could not eat at the pool. Ok, fine- said we could eat them on the patio... They said no food there either. Asked if we could use a banquet room and was told no, they were being used even though they were all dark. So we decided to direct the driver to deliver food to a grassy area across the street. Pizza never even came in the building. We then found ourselves being filmed by crew and they shut the pool down for the WHOLE HOTEL. It was at this point we tried to resolve our issue and ask what the problem was. Nobody could give us a good answer and manager would not answer his phone. All we were told is we will have to call on Monday to resolve the problem. This is a big reason we all chose this hotel was because of the pool. Now we have 12 crying kids (not to mention the siblings). Was told we all need to go to our room. Well trying to sequester 20 ish kids to a couple room in my opinion caused much more distress to the rest of the hotel. It was mad chaos. It was a night in my life I can not get back and a memory they missed out on. Not to mention for a group rate this hotel was WAY overpriced, Rooms are very dated and my feet were dirty from just walking on the carpet. The one down the street is much nicer for a better rate, although next time I'll stick with other brands.
The staff is incompetent with zero problem solving skills. Was at this hotel for a group function. We told them we would need a conference room so we could have a small celebration. We were informed that all conference rooms were booked even though at our time of need they remained empty. No other option was given and we were told we couldn't eat outside food on the property in any public space. Since outside food was not permitted anywhere else, we walked across the street to eat and made due with using electric transformer box as a table. Staff came out side and took our picture from the pool porch. Upon our return to the hotel pool to finish our celebration, we were told that the pool was closed for the evening. When we asked why, staff was unable to give any answer except "the manager said so." We asked to speak to the manager but we're told the manager wasn't present or available. What was supposed to be a memorable weekend for friends and families was ruined by staff's inability to communicate or problem solve.
Terrible experience! Stay away from this hotel!! We stayed here with a group of other families from our son's baseball team. It was for their last tournament of the baseball season and we wanted to celebrate after they won two of their games. We ordered pizzas and were then told we couldn't have the food at the pool which we complied with. No food entered the pool area and our entire group went across the street to eat. Before we came back, the hotel staff were taking photos of our group as if we did something wrong Then when we came back to let the kids swim, the hotel staff kicked everyone out of the pool area which included other hotel guests that were not part of our group and closed and locked the pool for the rest of the night. They claimed we broke their rules which we did not do. They also had two security guards roaming the halls after this and their hotel employees followed people from our group back to their rooms. Completely unacceptable on their part and we had lots of upset kiddos who didn't get to swim and have fun with their teammates and who couldn't understand why they were being punished by the hotel staff for not doing anything wrong. Hotel staff were even laughing at upset kids. Very disappointed and would not recommend staying here at all. The hotel staff was rude, uncaring and made no attempt to resolve the issue. Management was unreachable and corporate was also no help. Unacceptable to treat paying hotel guests this way especially when we did exactly as they asked us to do. DO NOT STAY AT THIS BEST WESTERN HOTEL!!
Absolutely the worst hotel stay I've had in my life hands down. My kids fell asleep in tears on their team party night instead of having the pool party they imagined because the employee thought we brought in food and drinks. We didn't, we ordered pizza and got out of the pool and ate it across the street in a lot (not owned by best western)- and when we returned to swim, they were “closing down the pool because we don't respect their rules”. There is video, photo, & NUMEROUS witnesses to testify that not a bite of pizza was eaten, or even TAKEN onto the property. Had to cancel the 10 year old team party. Hope it was worth it, Kimberly at Front Desk! Sorry for … following the rules? P.S. for whatever reason, they employees thought it was funny that kids were crying and parents were upset. They also let us know we are no longer “allowed to talk to them” at the front desk. Awful awful awful!
The pool/spa/saunas are great and have amazing hours. Misty handled our reservation, check in, and check out-she was by far the friendliest, most helpful hostess. We greatly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back! Thank you Best Western Mill Creek Inn!
Located in a quiet area, but not far from I-5, is very convenient to get into town, the State Capitol, or great dining areas. Rooms are big, beds comfortable and everything is well maintained. Ample parking lo, terrific indoor swimming pool and hot tub. Great coffee 24/7.
It was a very pleasant stay. I will stay there again when the opportunity arises. Nice room, great breakfast. Overall, a nice stay. We were very pleased with the experience. Definitely will stay there again.
The room was perfect. Everything was clean and well organized. The bathroom was spotless and the beds were amazing quality, very soft and cloud-like. We were exhausted so having the AC provided the best sleep as well. The mini kitchen came with two refrigerators which was extremely convenient. The living room was cute and very cozy. When we arrived, cookies were waiting for us on the table and they were delicious! Overall, the entire experience was perfect!
We had a quiet and peaceful stay. Our clerk that checked us in was kind, and helpful. I believe she helped us with our reservation as well. We knew we would be arriving late and were worried that our room might be given away. We called and she assured us that she would keep the room in our name. Check in was less than 5 minutes, The entire staff was sweet and wonderful.
This Best Western was very clean, quiet and well maintained. Staff were friendly and efficient. No mtce issues were encountered as can happen in hotels. Beds were comfortable and clean. The windows did open if you want some fresh air. There is the usual AC and frig noise but that seems to be the norm in most hotels. A downside was that this Best Western did not offer the usual breakfast buffet. They offer a Denny's voucher that you can only use during a limited timeframe and you must dine in the restaurant. This restriction did not work for me as I did not have time to linger over a breakfast in the morning.
This is one of the nicest Best Western Plus hotels I've stayed at. The room was large and comfortable. The swimming pool looked inviting (unfortunately I didn't find time to use it). But my favorite thing about this hotel was the "make your own latte" machine in the lobby. I normally don't get to enjoy treats like this but I ended up drinking 5 lattes during my single night stay! (And they have a decaf option for most drinks.) This hotel doesn't have a dining room to serve breakfast, instead guests are given vouchers for meals at Denny's, located at the far end of the parking lot. Breakfast was adequate but I personally prefer the variety offered at their hotels with an in-house dining room.
Great hotel, and very comfortable rooms. Loved all the usb ports around the room. Beds are comfortable. Shower head could use better water pressure. Would have loved to have used the pool, but had no time in my trip. Beautiful front lobby.
Great hotel. The rooms are fully stocked with everything you need. The front desk staff is very friendly. Housekeeping did a great job cleaning my room each day. The pool and spa is great at the end of the day. I highly recommend this hotel and I will definitely stay here again next time I'm in the area.
We stay here several times a year. We are warmly greeted and given cookies and meal vouchers Denny's breakfast at check in. They ask questions and offer information to ensure all our needs are met. They have a great pool, kids pools, hot tub, steam room, and small workout gym with up-to-date equipment and we have enjoyed using all of them. Our rooms are always clean. The beds are very comfortable. Misty and the entire team provide exceptional customer service. I truly appreciate every effort they make to ensure we have a great stay every time!
This is a great place. The staff was friendly and seemed to like their job. The breakfast at Dennys is a plus and the room was clean and smelled good. I recommend for the price that this is a must stay. Also easy with pets.
This hotel was the best I have ever stayed at. The room was a big apartment like suite that was the last one they had. We had a four year old and a three hour drive ahead of us and it was eight o clock if we could not get a room. They cut us a deal and we stayed. The pool and spa were amazing. We got free cookies at check in and bottled water in the fridge in the room. We also got 15% off that night at the Denny's across the parking lot and three vouchers for free breakfast the next morning. The coffee machine in the lobby even made cappuccinos and mochas. The people were amazing from start to finish. It was just wonderful all the way around. Nothing could have made it better.
Lovely hotel, clean, great value, super friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast voucher for full breakfast at Denny's next door. We stopped in Salem to ride out an ice storm. Staff was super helpful in helping monitor road conditions. Will definitely stay here again when passing through town.
Highly impressed with this property - huge value for money and lots of amenities I didn't expect (like free breakfast, fancy hot drink machine and a sauna). Service was excellent and it was ongoing the cleanest properties I have ever stayed in.
This is a top notch Best Western. This hotel deserves it's Plus designation. When you first enter a hotel, your front desk staff have the ability to set you off on a pleasant (or not so pleasant) start. Misty is an absolute rockstar, friendly, professional, AND she made sure we had a room where we could see our pickup truck and cargo trailer. I didn't have to ask, she just made it happen for us. The room was clean, comfortable and quiet. Quiet is top on my list of requirements (after ample truck/trailer parking and dog friendly). We had a room on the back side of the hotel and it was very quiet for sleeping. Denny's is the breakfast option and we had dinner there as well. We had a chicken skillet dinner that was wonderful! I haven't been in a Denny's in a long time and my husband and I were both suprised how good it was. We were eying the omelette options for breakfast which we would have to pay for, but went for the free breakfast. It was basic but good. My only ask would be that they have fruit such as apples, bananas and oranges in the lobby. We'll be back to stay when we're driving by on I5 in the future. Well done BW!
Misty at the front desk was amazing and friendly. My Check in was seamless and stress free. I'll definitely plan on booking more often at this location. Thank you again to Misty for being so cheerful during my long tiresome day. EJ Jacoby
I stayed at the Best Western Mill Creek in Salem two times in the past months and found it to be clean, comfortable, and the staff inviting and responsive. BW has become my hotel of choice for business travel.
Greg at the front desk was hilarious and very helpful. We had a great stay. I only wish you were cat friendly not just dog. The Halloween decor looked great I bet it looks amazing in the lobby with the fireplace for the Holidays. We will be back to swim in the pool.
The check in process was quick and easy. All of the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. The free breakfast was great, not just cold cereal and muffins. We will definitely stay here again!!
The beds are very comfortable. The Christmas decor was lovely. The coffee tasty... Clearly it has been renovated nicely. It was clean and served our needs nicely. It's not a 5 star hotel but for the price it was just fine.
The staff and hotel were awesome.Friendly staff , free bottled water, cookie, and coffee bar. The beds were so comfy and a double vanity made it so easy, Breakfast was at Dennys with a coupon, will definitely recommend and stay again!
We have stayed in many BW properties and this one tops the list. Convenient location, beautiful rooms, friendly staff and many amenities from a pool to free fruit and upscale beverages in the lobby. Breakfast is better than in many such properties as guests are provided vouchers to dine in the Denny's next door. (Okay, it's a Denny's but far superior to the typical in-house hotel/motel breakfast). Highly recommended.
Our time and experience at the Mill Creek Inn by best Western was so enjoyable in every way. We like the free breakfast coupons at Denny's with a good selection of food. This is our fourth time to stay here. All rooms and entries are kept beautifully clean. We were there during the Thanksgiving holiday and left the day after and they were beginning to put up Christmas decorations. Wonderful staff to meet every need. Coffee bar, swimming pools, saunas, and Jacuzzis. Beautiful setting. We will come again for sure!
This is a very nice hotel with clean, comfortable and well appointed rooms. The location provides easy access to the freeway and local services. However, there are issues that one might want to consider. First, the hotel's offer of a "free" breakfast uses a Denny's at the same location. The choices covered by the voucher are limited and the service and food quality at Denny's is awful! Second, if you're traveling with a pet, which they allow, be prepared to pay a pet fee for each night of your stay. I don't mind paying a pet fee, but it seems like price gouging when you pay the fee for each night, but they only clean the room after check-out, not every day. Lastly, watch your charges carefully. I was charged the pet fee multiple times during the stay. I was charged for two nights at check-in, for two more nights the next day, and for one night the day of check-out. That's a five night pet fee for a two night stay. Given all of these issues, I will choose the LaQuinta across the street next time.
This is a great property, with easy access to the surrounding area and Portland, the staff are proficient, professional and personable, making a good stay a GREAT one. This was not our first stay at the Mill Creek Inn, as best as I recall our first stay was in 2010, and since then the MCI has been our GoTo property in northern Oregon.
We had a fantastic stay at this Best Western. We had our dog with us and the gentleman who checked us in was not only super friendly with a warm smile, he gave us a couple of dog cookies for our pup and let us know where there was a park near by to take him for a walk. The woman at the front desk in the morning was full of joy, remembered our dog's name, and made us feel very welcome. The room was generously sized, very clean, and the coffee station in the lobby was also clean and had additional options to the coffee in our room. We would definitely stay in this hotel again, in fact, we already plan to stay there again on our way back home to Canada.
We always look forward to staying here when we travel. Always clean and comfortable. Very polite staff and free breakfast is at the Denny's. The breakfast should have more choices but is fresh hot. Thank you
The staff makes you feel very welcome and comfortable. They treat all guest with a great deal of respect. The staff is very helpful - 5 Stars as far as I am concerned. We had booked 6 rooms for my moms funeral - I couldn't have stayed at a better place.
Everything excellent, staff, breakfast and pet friendly, but tv's need help, was the connection , very quiet and clean, excellent coffee and hot drinks in lobby this making me type too much or won't post
We were in Salem for a OSU football game so it was quick trip. We arrived earlier than expected and were able to check in early. Misty, once you meet her will need to introduction, greeted us as if she was welcoming us into her own home. Give that girl a raise, she is awesome! The hotel is clean, spacious and very well kept. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.
Thie Best Western is convenient located very close to I-5 and you do not need a map to go there since a clear sign from i-5 exit. Friendly staff and good amenities. Breakfast is delicious as it is offered at a nearby Denny's.
It is mine and my husbands 5th wedding anniversary. We wanted to get out of the house with out the kiddos but still be close to home so we chose to stay here. Misty was working the front desk at check in and she was beyond amazing. I had called a few hours in advance to ask about early check in and she was so bubbly and a pleasure to speak to. She not only allowed us to check in early but attempted to upgrade our room to the honey moon suit for free but the people in the room had extended their stay last minute so when we arrived she had a bunch of little snacks and goodies for us to enjoy our stay a little more. She wished us a happy anniversary and was super easy to talk to. Our stay was amazing the rooms were spotless and beds & pillows were super soft. I deft will be coming back to stay here. Over all the experience was a 10/10 !!!
I came to stay originally for 9 days and extended it to 18 days due to a death in the family there. The rank and file staff were great and the room was comfortable. When I arrived, I asked and received two extra pillows being I sleep on an incline. On the 10th day of the stay, I had my g/f fly in to assist with the tasks of dealing with the estate. I asked for two more pillows for her and the manager refused stating I already had two extra ones. I informed them that a second person was now staying in the room and that was the reason for the request. It was again refused. I asked if they really wanted me to change hotels over two pillows and they were indifferent about it. So I ended my reservation the next day and went over to Phoenix Inn and Suites which was absolutely wonderful and even they were shaking their heads at the stupidity of the situation and had extra pillows waiting for me in my room when I checked in and stayed there for the remain time I was there. Two pillows and it cost them a customer that travels quite a bit and now will move Best Western to the bottom of the list as to places to book at in my future travels.
Our stay was pleasant, quiet, and easy. Very friendly staff, very clean rooms and comfy bed. Breakfast was in Dennys across the street with a choice of 5 different breakfasts. Worked out quite well to my surprise. Will stay there again.
big props to the staff! Misty was awesome at check-in very sweet and helpful! Our room was gorgeous and clean... the spa and pool wonderfully caretaken and very pleasant all around! Highly recommend this Best Western to amyone coming thru Salem.
My dad and I were very impressed by how clean and well kept the hotel was. It was beautiful, quiet and very spacious. The staff was very professional and polite. The location was spot on, right next to a Denny's. We wished we could stay longer but had to move on.
If you need a break but don't want to leave Salem this is the perfect place. Large spacious rooms, friendly helpful staff. And a great pool, spa, sauna and workout room. The free breakfast from Dennys is great and you get %15 off with your hotel key with other menu items.
Our King size room was spacious and clean. I mean no dust, really, I always check. We have stayed at many for business and leisure here in Oregon and this has been the best thus far. Misty at the front desk was very accommodating. Read other reviews about the Dennys options, yes there's only 4 but its still a lot plus you get sausage or bacon with each choice. Will definitely be back when in the area.
This hotel was super clean. The room was large and spacious with updated decor that was crisp looking. The bed and pillows were super comfortable and I had a 92%sleep efficiency. The citrus shampoo and soap were just what I needed to feel refreshed.
Welcomed our dog. Lobby was homey and decorated for Fall. Loved the idea of breakfast at the Dennys which was located next door. Could have offered a couple more selections; pancakes, french toast. If staying several days the variety would be good. Room was clean and comfortable. Would definitely plan to stay here next time we are in the area. Probably the very best of any hotel I have ever stayed in.
Convenient to Silver Falls State Park, our stay was perfect for a bit of nature time. We also enjoyed the pools and the guest laundry was very welcome and efficient. Room was comfortable and quiet. Breakfast at the Denny's across the parking lot was easy and offered enough selection from the predetermined menu. Staff was very pleasant!
I have returned to Best Western Plus Mill Creek repeatedly as a result of their consistent care of the rooms (super clean) and customer service! The staff are friendly and helpful; coffee and tea, etc available (with real half & half!) 24/7; beds are comfy and the rooms are CLEAN!
The room was extremely clean!! In fact cleaner than any Best Western we have ever visited. All employees we had an interaction with were excellent. The only negative I have to mention is that I accidently left a $25.00 Delorme Atlas of Oregon in the bed when we left and didn't miss it until we were over a 100 miles away. I called, told them our room number and they said they would call if they found it. I haven't heard from them which in my opinion means the cleaning maid or crew kept it and didn't turn it in, which if true is disappointing as any guests property should go to lost and found, not to someone's home. Other than that unfortunate incident which ultimately is my own fault, I highly recommend this hotel if you're in the Salem, Oregon area.
Hotel looked to be kept up. My room was located on the third floor. Room was clean and quiet. I didn't hear my neighbors or any road noise. I booked a room with two beds and the room was very spacious. I liked that there were two sinks. One in the shower room and one just outside. Room included a microwave and fridge. A unique feature of this hotel was that breakfast was available (with a voucher with 5 breakfast options to choose from) at Denny's across the parking lot each morning. Hotel rate was a bit higher than I would expected but seems to be comparable for the area. Overall, I was satisfied with my stay. I would recommend it to others and would stay there again.
Convenient and safe location away from downtown but close to everything. Denny's restaurant on site available for early morning and late night meals. Rooms were clean and spacious. Although the hotel had no vacancy and was full, we had a quiet and restful sleep.
My daughters and me love this hotel. Its clean and safe, front desk is very kind. I will book here for future trips to Eugene to visit my daughter at U of O. The floors are clean in our room and the bathroom is spotless.
Thank you for such a comfortable and welcoming stay. I have traveled too much this month and the Best Western Plus Mill Creek Inn made me feel like I was at home. Thankful for the choice of hotels by my department.
I had the opportunity to stay in Salem for the night and chose it to avoid staying in Portland. Best decision ever. Portland would have surely cost me my luggage being stolen or worse, my car being broken into. Thank you Salem for offering me a safe alternative location to stay.
Arrived after a 6hr drive to be greeted by one of the nicest and friendliest front desk clerks ever. Misty. Misty was knowledgeable, friendly, happy to be there. She really knows her job and loves it, you can tell... I also overheard her co- worker John with his guests and he is equally as happy and aware of all aspects of his job!.. thank you, Misty and John....
We stayed for a week at the Best Western Inn in Salem Oregon. My mother-in-iaw had a heart attack. We drove from California all night, not knowing where we were going to stay. The first night we were fortunate to find this hotel. We could only stay one night because it was booked and I can see why. This was absolutely the best hotel I have stayed in. Misty, the shift manager, was FANTASTIC!! She went out of her way to find us a room at another hotel. She even made a little care package for us because we missed breakfast. The other hotel, The Phoenix Inn was horrific. We only lasted two nights before we were back at Best Western and luckily we were able to stay there for the rest of our stay. The rooms are spacious and clean. We got vouchers for breakfast at Dennys every day of our stay. They have laundry and a business center, which came in handy since were in Oregon much longer than expected. The beds, pillows and comforter were extremely clean and comfortable. I'm talking white down comforters, not the usual gross hotel comfoter. I cannot say enough about Misty. To be in this exttemely stressful situation, far from home, not knowing if mom would make it was very difficult. Misty took a great deal of stress off of our shoulders. She really went out of her way to take care of us. We can never say thank you enough to Misty. She is a beautiful ,thoughtful and caring person. It felt like staying with family, not at a hotel. Thank you so much Misty!!
Excellent clean rooms; pool was amazing as well as extended pool hours; coffee was great; breakfast at Dennys came with room and was great! Great staff and definitely kid friendly. Also easy to find off of I-5 so we didn't have to drive through town.
Best western plus mill is centrally located, in the burbs where I like. Very clean and well kept, staff friendly and for breakfast they give you vouchers to Dennys which is right on the prompt. Enjoyed our stay.
By far one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at! I love how the front desk was attentive and super nice! Love how there is a pool, kids pool, jacuzzi and saunas. Love how check out is at noon. Most of other hotels check out is at 10. Hands down best hotel!!!!
What a great place to stay in Salem, OR! Very comfortable, roomy, and super clean compared to some of the other places we've had to stay when traveling from Phoenix, AZ with our two small dogs. Misty was super friendly, and explained everything about the meal process with the Denny's restaurant that shares the parking lot. The on-site laundry facilities are especially appreciated, since we stayed 9 nights. A special note: the cookies Misty gave us at check-in were wonderful!! And the coffee bar is something I enjoyed several times a day - I remembered it from our last visit, and was very pleased it was still here. The kitchenette is spacious, and with two refrigerators, we were able to shop for food and cut some of our dining costs. One pseudo-negative...I wish they had a Keurig machine in the room, but we bring a mini-Keurig with us when we travel so we can enjoy coffee and tea we are accustomed to in the room, without having to make a trip to the afore-mentioned and much appreciated coffee bar.
The rooms are large, and very clean. I loved that there was a makeup mirror in the bathroom. Fresh coffee in the lobby every morning. The beds are super comfortable. The front desk people are very nice, especially Misty. She went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Old fasion customer service is what she showed us, overall pleasant stay.
A very nice and quiet location. The beds are very comfortable and the staff friendly and professional. Clean outside and inside with ample easy, free parking and easy access to the I-5 as well as to get into town.
The staff provided excellent service during my stay and the room was very clean. The room was large, Wi-Fi worked fairly well, this review requires a two hundred character minimum so I'm just adding words.
Our two night stay here was excellent! The room was clean and along with the pool area and the sauna. There's a regular full size pool, hot tub and a good size kiddie pool for anyone with children! The staff was great - especially Misty!
Omg misty is AMAZING!!!!!! No other words she made my stays great friendly fun energetic i love it here but summed up AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING the coffees bar breakfast at dennys its all wonderfully amazing …… AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING MISTY made my stay pretty fricken amazing I don't know did I tell you she is great I will recommend this motel above all i travel for work and have stayed all over … this is by far my favorite
Beds were comfy staff was nice elevators a little small but other than that it was fine. Would recommend for the price was the best deal around. Breakfast was not bad either at Denny's. And our dog enjoyed the property.
This hotel offers so much. Friendly staff, large, comfortable, & clean rooms, and convenient location. The free breakfast is provided by Denny's Restaurant & is a regular meal size. A swimming pool, sauna, & workout room is also available. I highly recommend Mill Creek Inn.
Great place to stay with the family. Indoor pool, breakfast, big rooms. Lots of parking. Stores and resturaunts close by. Professional front desk staff. They should make the fitness room and business center card readers on the door.
The property and our room was clean and well kept. The staff friendly and helpful. The facility is located near but not next to a freeway so the noise level was not noticeable from the room. Breakfast provided at Denny's next door was hot and fresh.
My daughter niece and I had a wonderful stay here! The room was fantastic and we enjoyed the amenities! As well, Misty was so welcoming and worked very hard to make our stay a great one! Her customer service is top notch!
So impressed with this hotel. While Best Westerns always tend to be good and a safe bet, this particular one was a step or more above that. The employees were amazing…always welcoming us every time we entered the lobby. The lobby, the rooms, the parking lot all were clean and hospitable. The amenities were amazing. Location was perfect!
Came into town to participate in the Ironman event. Hotel is pretty central to everything, and about a 5 min drive to get into downtown. The hotel itself was clean, easy to get to as it's right off the free way. Complementary breakfasts at Denny's which was nice. The main reason I'm doing this review is because of the staff. Super friendly, and Mysty (not sure if that's how it's spelled) has so much positive energy she made us feel so welcome. I hope Best Western knows how much of a gem you are Mysty.
This hotel, on top of being exactly what I needed for my latest business trip, gets an excellent rating just for Misty at reception. I've been staying in hotels for work nearly every weekend for a decade and Misty is the best I have ever come across. She is genuine, kind, helpful, knows every feature and quirk of the hotel and her passion shines through. I knew I could come to her for anything I needed and felt genuinely taken care of. If we could all take as much joy and pride in our jobs as she does, the world would be a much better place.
We were in Salem for an Ironman event. We had booked well in advance because we knew it would be very busy. Hotel staff was friendly and professional. The rooms are very clean, large and very adequately appointed. The location is great for easy access to the freeway and to downtown Salem.
If you are going to try to use partial points, work with the BW central booking system. The staff person, Misty, was excellent in helping me in getting this done. It was nice to have a number of breakfast choices at the Denny's. The availability of free coffee and hot chocolate was great. The cookies were good too.
Great value for the price. The hotel and rooms were clean, beds and pillows comfortable, free select breakfast at Denny's in the same parking lot. This hotel is close to stores (5 mins) and the hospital (10 mins). Shower water was hot and pet friendly! The only con I can think of is that the walls are pretty thin so you can hear pretty much everything.
We are a family of four with a special needs child. We loved this spot, everything felt clean and new. There was a great pool/spa and even a kiddie pool. A nice coffee bar with hot chocolate always available. An incredible value full breakfast and vending on site. The staff was amazing, the location was safe and convenient.
Friendly staff, very clean. I use Salem hotels as a 1 night rest stop and this place was very nice for that purpose. Will stay again. Denny's with lounge in a shared parking lot is a nice, easy unwind
They understand what you need to get going on your day, and rest well at night. The complimentary breakfast and 15% meal disount at Denny's is an easy, affordable way to eat so you are not stuck in a food desert as at so many hotels. The staff was very helpful, and sensitive to our needs for privacy and quiet rest after out patient surgery.
We stayed for my daughter's soccer tournament and had a postiive experience. The hotel is very close to the 1-5 freeway and clean and well staffed. The rooms are good sized and they accept dogs. Helpful staff. The pool area is large and they have saunas.
We stayed and ended up with a suite. It was lovely and we felt worth every penny. It also is set up with a Denny's, in the parking lot, where you get 15% off your dinner and a free breakfast in the morning. The staff was professional, friendly, helpful, and the facility was spotless. We will definitely stay there again.
We were very pleased with our stay at Mill Creek. We had a King size room it was very spacious, clean and the entire hotel was well appointed. The laundry room was easy to use with the credit card machine vs coin and it was nice to get a warm breakfast with the Dennys voucher. The staff was helpful and friendly as well. Definite would return if in the area
Always love this hotel. Close to I-5 and their Continental breakfast is using Denny's next door. Friendly staff too and rooms were really clean. Cost was high but graduation weekend. Normally it is pretty affordable.
We travel to and from Washington and Arizona. Misty is by far the best! She went above and beyond welcoming us into The Best Western. She was always smiling and very helpful. She deserves an A+ from us! We would definitely stay there again because of her! I wish more people were like her. Thanks Misty!
Very accommodating! A couple of senior ladies needing a room close to the elevator and that was no problem. Everyone was so nice and helpful Everything was very clean, beds were comfortableand the internet was simple and fast. Thank you.
We enjoyed our stay at this location. We were having to stay away from our house for the weekend, so we chose this location. We enjoyed the Denny's breakfast and the hotel was very clean. Most of the staff was very friendly. The only negative thing about our stay was the $200 deposit. I have stayed in many hotels and have had deposits, but never $200. This needs to be posted on their website so customers know what is expected of them. I can afford that amount of deposit, but some customers cannot. They may show up not knowing this and have to leave because they can't afford it. $200 deposit was more than the nightly rate I paid for the room.
We picked the hotel because of the quality and location. Usually enjoy our stay at this BW, but this time was different. Room was great, but noise late at night from above was just too much. We called the front desk after 10:30PM, but they were unable to quiet the family down -- jumping and running continued until well after midnight. Would be nice if there was an adults only hour for the hot tub and pool in the late evening; we were unable to use the hot tub because so many little kids were playing in it.
The staff was very pleasant and friendly The room was fresh and clean. There were two separate sinks - one in the shower/toilet area and one outside of that, which made it very convenient. I appreciated the amenities - several soaps, 2 ea shampoo and conditioner, etc. There was a big desk in the room and the beds were very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again!
Good location with easy access to I-5 & Hwy 22. Room was clean and my request for extra pillows was fulfilled before we checked in. Pool was a bit cold, but the kids were fine with it. Has a small "kiddie" pool area that was nice for our toddler. Parking could be better. Breakfast was provided by Denny's next door. Great little coffee bar area available 24hrs for free. Kids loved the cookies and hot chocolate.
The hotel is newer so that makes it nice. Friendly staff giving good information on places to visit and local restaurants - Always apprecitated. Cookies and coffee/tea bar were a very nice addition. Thank you,
Best front desk I have ever experienced at a hotel. MISTY WAS AMAZING, VERY NICE AND PERSONABLE :) Can't wait to come back for work next time. Saw them clean the pool multiple times (very clean). Everyone was willing to help whether it was an issue or just asking for recommendations on somewhere to eat. Loved the friendliness. Made me feel like i had a home away from home during a long work trip missing my lady and dog! Thank you to all staff!
When I travel to Salem this hotel is always where I stay. Jen and her staff are always so welcoming and accommodating which makes a huge difference. The rooms are always very clean and the bed is very comfortable.
We didn't have a reservation but stopped at this BW late in the afternoon. The desk clerk was extremely polite & friendly & offered us two types of rooms on different floors. Check in was quick & easy. The room was large, clean & quiet with a super comfortable king size bed. We were given tickets for 15% off our dinners plus free breakfasts at the Denny's across the parking lot.
I have stayed here previously and had no hesitation in returning this trip. The staff make you feel welcome and the accommodations (expecially comfortable beds and bedding) are really great. Having a Denny's restaurant across the parking lot, with free breakfast, is a plus!
The personnel were friendly and welcoming. All the amenities were given and we were encouraged to make use of any and all. the hotel is easy to find and ideally located from and to freeway. While the hotel seemed to be full, it was quiet all night. Our room was on the first floor for easy entry and exit with the dog and my daughter who was on crutches.
Just last weekend my wife & spent an overnight at the BW Plus Mill Creek Inn. It is a very nice clean, well kept property. I must tell you of the desk clerk Misty, she was like a long lost friend that I had never met before, cheerful, obliging. just a delight to meet after a long road trip. My wife & I were in Salem for a surprise gathering of which Misty was forewarned, & helped us in many ways to keep the secret until the reveal time. Would love to go back there again just to talk with Misty.
Didn't receive rooms I booked . I had to sleep on pull out bed. Not good!!! My back didn't fair well. The hotel tried to fix the issues but where unable to get the rooms that I booked so had to take what they had.
This was our rest stop after attending a conference near by. Clean comfortable and good size room. Quiet and comfortable bed. We appreciated the restaurant next door. Used a voucher for breakfast at restaurant next door.
Hello, We visited Oregon with family and enjoyed our stay at Best Western in Mill Creek. It was in close proximity to the Woodburn mall. We stayed in a suite which worked great with our two teenagers. The room was clean and big. The beds were comfortable.
Convenient location, friendly staffs. Rooms are aged & smell (moldy smell. So I need to purchase Febreeze air freshener to clear up the smell in the room.) amenity isn't consistently provided. Lacking house keeping staff to clean all the room.
We stayed at this hotel for one night. We booked the Suite two-queen beds room. The room actually includes a two-queen bedroom with additional separate room with kitchen, sofa (bed), dining table, TV, few chairs and couches. Both rooms are very spacious and well equiped. The furniture looked like relatively new. The shower was very clean, equiped, with excellent water stream and really hot water. The check-in was smooth, with very kind receptionist (gave us cookies :-) and extra towels). Breakfast is served at the nearby Denny's using vouchers, which is really an upgrade as compared to standard hotel breakfast.
The entire staff is so kind and welcoming, but Misty really went above and beyond to make us (and everyone she interacted with) feel at home. The room was clean and comfortable. The pool and hot tub were lovely. The internet/wifi worked well. The collaboration with the Denny's next door for complimentary breakfast was far better than most complimentary hotel breakfasts that I have experienced in the past. The location is a safe and is an easy off/on from the main roads. My daughter and I felt completely comfortable traveling together in the area. We will be back!
The staff is very welcoming. The rooms are always clean & comfortable. Guests are given a breakfast voucher for the Dennys across the parking lot. It is a very convenient place to stay. Close to Interstate 5, but away from road noise. Quiet.
The room was clean and pleasant. There is a restaurant (Denny's) next to the hotel. We arrived early (noonish) and asked if there were any rooms available. The front desk person said check in was not until 3 pm. We asked if she might have a room ready sooner and she shortly answered, "After 3 pm." We asked if we could leave our luggage and she took us to an open room with no security. We politely declined. After that our stay was pleasant.
This hotel is awesome! With every hotel, there are normally a few minor things like the bathroom door not closing the whole way. But the customer service outshined the entire trip! We stayed twice, once on the way there and once on the way back, and our person, Misty, was there both times. Bless her soul omg!!! She was the sweetest hotel employee I have ever met. This was my first road trip without immediate family and she made me and my friend feel right at home. We even hoped to see her when we checked in the second time and both us and Misty were so happy to see each other again! She told us all the ins and outs and even gave us extra cookies (shh i didnt say anything!) With how loved and at home she made us feel, she deserves a raise !! Other than Misty, the check-out employees were amazing too and sweet. This was an amazing stay and I will definitely stay here again.
The hotel is clean, updated and has an amazing staff. Misty at the front desk is the best! It was quiet at night and we had a good sleep. The breakfast at Danny's and wifi were great. We absolutely enjoyed our short stay.
Checkout is noon. Housekeeping slightly tapped on door and simultaneously opened it letting herself in while we were in the room. I had JUST finished dressing and sat down on the couch & my husband was still in his night clothes!!!
This location is easy off and on to I-5 & Hwy 22 /99. I called the direct line to make my reservation and the lady was very helpful and knowledgeable of all the promos and pricing. It was easy to book my room. All staff was very friendly and professional. The Hostess of operation was just like a family member, cheerful, helpful and friendly. The beds were very comfortable with a lot of pillows and blankets, best sleep every.
Please keep in mind I choose this hotel for my work trip. My employer wanted me to use a different hotel however i had good experiences with the chain overall and thought I was getting a good hotel. My review is split between Pros and Cons: Pros: Clean, Quick check in, toiletries, WI Fi, morning breakfast coupon, Decent TV, Pool w/towels, Drop ice no scooping to contaminate, Cons: Room maintenance: Note these items were fixed at my request but should have been done during room turnover: Loose Toilet seat, TV had no signal, only had one role of TP, inside chamber of coffee heater was dirty and lighting fixtures were at odd angles. The hotel also has you put your trash in hallway for pickup in the morning. This is a Covid Policy to protect housekeeping. But it made my floor feel trashy and smelly when you come out in the morning. I suggest a place on each floor to place trash so its not just lining the hallways. Lack of Vending. A location with limited food options means vending is needed. Location: The location has no walking destinations: food, entertainment extra. There is a Winco, Fastfood and other about 5-10 min by car. Staff. Only one of the ladies at the front desk was nice. The younger one did not seem to care and forgot part of the check in process so had to come back to desk to sign incidental form. ( I never use names protect employees) Overall still a good hotel but they need to bring back onsite breakfast and daily room cleaning.
Everyone was so friendly and warm. The room was beautiful and cozy. Everything was very clean and made me feel right at home on my extended work trip. I would have loved to stay longer. The fitness and sauna areas were a definite bonus, as well as the kitchenette space in the room.
Staff super friendly attentive and helpful. Pictures true to what you see on line, clean and lovely. All of the staff here works hard and an impressive cleanliness level. Very accommodating and super welcoming like you are family almost. I'm up here on family hospital travel which has been extremely sad and painful but the experience staying here has been lovely and uplifting even with the difficulties of the reason for my travel. The front desk gals and a hoot. Loads of personality.
This hotel is very clean, comfortable and inviting. The front desk staff (especially Misty and Cynthia) are very friendly and exceptionally helpful. They were always willing to help with whatever questions I had. The amenities are above par....a variety of complimentary coffee and creamers in the lobby 24x7, yummy cookies upon check-in, USA Today newspaper daily, fitness room, pool, sauna, laundry services, etc. The restaurant/lounge is a hop, skip and a jump across the parking lot at Denny's Restaurant and was very convenient. Parking is plentiful. Access to the freeway is simple. Rooms are very clean and modern/updated. I will definitely stay here again in the future.
I have been staying at this particular hotel for about a year now and they have always had a room for me, and in the few times that they haven't they have always found other accommodations for me. Friendly staff, clean rooms, and great amenities. I always enjoy my stays thank you Misty for your hard work.
Misty was awesome!! She had excellent customer service skills, made booking our reservation a breeze! She was even able to get us a discount by signing up with them. They have great pool hours and were able to accommodate our whole family, we had a large crowd
They were very awesome! Friendly staff, clean rooms decent pool and check out hrs. Front desk (Misty) was great! Very friendly and outgoing, efficient and knew her job. Made my birthday awesome! I don't have one bad word to say about them. (so far).
The best hotel in Oregon! Clean and spacious rooms, friendly front desk staff. Breakfast Vouchers for Denny's a few steps away, and a small but maintained dog area, with room around the property for dogs to walk. Maintained coin laundry, coffee available all day, good amenities. Convenient to many food choices and across from Costco. We will definitely be back!
I travel a lot and have stayed at many Best Western hotels. Most are good and some really good. But overall, this is the best of all the Best Western hotels that I've seen. The lobby is impressive starting with the large and roofed outside loading and unloading area. Although I didn't use any of these, I did look and walk past the really nice pool, hot tub, workout room and sauna.
I wanted to share this because we stayed in a motel across the street (a little more expensive) a couple of weeks ago which was adequate, but our stay here far exceeded that stay in every way. If you are looking for a room in this area, look no further! Our double room was very clean, great decor, super comfortable beds with great night reading lights. There was a nice table by the window with 2 comfortable chairs, a fridge and microwave and coffee pot. The TV was large for hotel, as was the double sink bathroom. The room itself was much roomier that the other place. The lobby is really nice, and the staff was great! The pool and hot tub were much nicer. Free breakfast at Denny's was great - similar friendly staff and really really good cooks. You won't be disappointed here.
Have been to many Best Western Plus motels but this one is special. Very well-maintained facility. Friendly and helpful staff who go out of their way to accommodate you. We enjoyed a very restful, quiet evening and highly recommend this motel.
The little touches, complimentary bottles of water, bathroom toiletries extras, clean, attractive room. Dog friendly and just one charge of $20 for both dogs. Definitely would stay here when in Salem again.
I was blown away at the entire experience with this property. This hotel is one of the best mid-range hotels I've ever stayed in. The lobby is beautifully decorated with a nice seating area and faux fireplace. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Due to COVID, they were not serving breakfasts, so they gave me a voucher for a full breakfast at the Denny's next door. They provided some chocolate chip cookies with the room keycards and offered self serve coffee, tea, hot chocolate and fruit juices in the lobby. The room was large, spotless and full of unexpected amenities. Multiple bottles of quality shampoo, conditioner, mouthwash, makeup remover towelettes, etc. The room was very quiet and the digitally controlled heater was nearly silent. The decorations in the room were very nice and it was obvious that they intended to provide a high end experience by using quality materials and fixtures. There were a great many convenient 110 VAC and USB outlets around the room. The refrigerator had two bottle of complementary water and the the TV remote had been sanitized and was in a sealed bag. Upon checkout, there were sealed individual paper bags with apples, oranges, etc. for you to take on the road. Exceptional is the only word that comes to mind when thinking about this hotel.
When you book make sure to confirm they booked the type of room you want. I confirmed with them I needed a delux room bringing 6 guests. Upon arrival they had me in a regular room, not enough beds. We were only allowed one roll away meaning we had to sleep 3 to a bed. Needless to say that didn't work out well.
this was one of the best best western I've been in wonderful stay. staff more than helpful, break fest was wonderful at the Denny's right in the parking lot . the rooms where very clean didn't smell of chemicals will stay there again no problem
I travel often and this hotel is by far my favorite hotel to stay the people who work there go over and beyond for there guests. Misty, John and Jen are three of my favorite people! Very welcoming and outgoing. They serve breakfast free at dennys you pick of a little menu that has great options and filling ones. They have a huge pool area with a great size jacuzzi as well as a sauna, and gym. They have complimentary coffee and hot coco as well as free cookies they give you during check in. The rooms are always up to parr and if you forgot something you needed they got it! The parking lots ig huge from front to back so lots of parking for trucks and cars of all sizes. I highly recommend this hotel if your in the area.
Every time we visit Salem, we stay at Mill Creek Beat Western. Misty was over the top helpful calling to make reservations and then also changing them. Lobby was festive and decorated for Christmas. We felt welcomed.
I have stayed at the hotel since the 1990's and it is always excellent. Misty provided a warm welcome and mentioned my room preference. The decor is always great and well maintained. This is one of the best Best Western's that I have ever stayed at. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel and kudos to the staff.
Misty at the front desk was great! She answered any questions I had and was very friendly and understanding. Me and a friend just wanted to rest for a bit on our way to our families from college, the hours we were there everything was prefect, nice and quiet. The bed was super comfortable!
The hotel was very clean, the front desk people were extremely kind and helpful. It was decorated very well for Christmas which I thought was a great thing. The pool and hot tub were very clean. The WiFi worked great. Rooms were very clean and well stocked.
Best overall experience ever! I have stayed in many hotels for travel or pleasure or business but I must say the overall combination of room size and cleanliness and comfort and the amazing encounters with staff members during needs on this visit exceeded any prior hotel experience I have had. Although there have been a couple hotels I have stayed in that were fancier with more amenities the price for those motels was much more exuberant as planned and they did not compare with the helpfulness and friendliness of the staff had this location. There is nothing I could recommend to be improved and I will use this hotel any opportunity I have when traveling through this location in the future.
Upon walking into the lobby, I knew this was going to be a nice Best Western. The lobby was clean, updated and welcoming. The Gentleman that checked us in was very friendly and helpful. We were traveling with our dog and he gave our dog treats and asked what her name was, showed interest. The room was clean and updated. We will definitely remember this Best Western!
Great experience. clean, friendly and nice room. The top Best Western I've stay in so far. Check in went smoothly, they gave us complimentary cookies. Room was very clean and spacious. Everything worked in the room. Complimentary breakfast at Dennys was very nice. Overall I give a 10 out of 10!!
I was shocked at how nice this hotel was. If this is how all the Best Western PLUS's are they should convert the whole chain to them. It was Best Western prices but the hotel lobby, upstairs sitting room decor and the room itself was outstanding. I was not expecting this from the traditional "Best Western". The free Denny's breakfast at this location was an added plus. Well worth the value.
We've been here before - and will continue to use this place. (Father-in-law will be staying there for Thanksgiving week.) A conveniently located hotel, with clean large rooms, a very friendly team, and free breakfast at Denny's is what makes this place hard to beat. And because we needed to stay for a couple of weeks while the contractor tried to finish up the renovation at the house, I can vouch that this place is also less expensive than all the extended stay competition. Yes, we didn't have the kitchenette, but since we wanted to explore Salem, getting out to restaurants and around town was a benefit, not a problem. Breakfast of your choice (limits) every day at Denny's bets the heck out of the little bags most place offer. And the free Otis Spunkmayer cookie in the evening is a nice treat. Getting out to restaurants was also made easier by the super knowledgeable team at the front desk. John, Jen , and Misty all deserve praise for their great attitude and willingness to be helpful. Highly recommend this place. ( I've spent 50+ nights in hotels this year).
Lovely entrance with huge spiral staircase, friendly staff, grand light fixture and organic grass art. We loved the 24 hour cappuccino bar, spacious room and double vanities in our bath and dressing room. Coupon to Denny's next door for breakfast with 5 choices where gluten-free toast is available! More than adequate for traveling on I-5. About a 12 minute drive from adorable downtown and waterfront features,
Overall, it's an older building, but the rooms were clean. The front desk was friendly. The complementary breakfast is at Dennys across the parking lot and they are very attentive. The staff there made sure we enjoyed our meals and if we wanted any of our drinks for the road. The beds were comfortable. I really liked the pillows. Does anyone know what pillows they use?
The front desk person, Misty, was excellent, friendly and helpful. Cookies and Coffee if you wanted it. Discount at the Denny's across the parking lot where you also get your free morning breakfast. Room was very clean, two sinks were helpful in the morning. Beds were very comfortable. If you want somewhere to stay in Salem this is it.
We spent one night at this hotel after driving from Seattle to Salem to attend an event. The staff cheerfully checked us in, and out the following day. The room was large, the Queen size beds comfortable, and the bathroom furnished with better amenities than many other motels at which we have stayed. The room was also well lighted, making reading at night easy. The third floor room was very quiet. We also took advantage of the Costco located across the street to buy gasoline. Breakfast consisted of vouchers for a limited, but adequate selection, at Dennys. Dennys is just across the parking lot. On leaving we were offered "go bags" that offered a nice snack or light lunch, and fresh cookies. Cookies were also given to us on check in. The staff is friendly, cheerful, and helpful. I recommend this hotel.
I am in Salem approximately once per week. I've stayed in other hotels, AirBNB, and with friends. This hotel is so clean and the staff are so friendly that it is now my go-to place to stay. Missy and John know me by name and greet me as though I were an old friend each time I'm there. I love the fact I get a free breakfast at Denny's across the parking lot as well as the fact it is one of the quietest hotels I've ever stayed in. Which, is surprising considering it's so close to the freeway. Definitely recommend.
We enjoyed staying in a hotel. They are helpful and kind. My kids loved the pool alot and we wanna go back again in the future. I believe the lady's name at the reception is Misty. She's very kind and helful.
Front desk staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The room was very clean and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable with plenty of cozy pillows. The bathroom had plenty of towels wash clothes and supplies.
Though not always the cheapest in the same class, the rates are fair, the rooms are always clean, the staff is helpful and friendly. Having a hot tub along with a pool (the nearby Holiday inn has a pool but no hot tub) is always an added bonus. The COVID era breakfast is a limited specified menu voucher for the Denny's in the shared parking lot. Underwhelming but adequate and predictably consistent. Across the street from Costco and easy commute to campus, downtown, waterfront or anything else within 10 minutes. About 20' to nearby Silver Falls.
Loved making the reservation with misty! We where given clear directions. And she made sure I understood the pool/sauna rules and times. I felt safe. Dennys was mostly frustration free and cost effective. Thanks again misty see all of you soon!
Nice clean room. We stayed with our dogs and the property and room were well set up to accommodate them. We were on the ground floor and were able to enter and exit without taking the dogs through the main lobby. The staff ( the 2 M's - Misty and Myra (I think that's right, sorry if not) were lovely and helpful.
We were very pleased with the large room, and amenities such as refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker. We were also extremely impressed by how soundproof the room was! We never heard a sound from other rooms or the hallway. There was no external noise factor either. We also loved the free breakfast at Denny's every day! Definitely a great experience!
My wife and I cant thank the BW Plus staff enough for a warm, friendly, red carpet stay. Misty and Mya were the fun crew when we stepped in to the lobby. So happy we stayed here. Lots of laughs. Super nice, and funny hosts. It doesn't get better than a stay here. You really get treated well. Rooms were really clean. Hotel was spotless. Beautiful lobby, very comfy. Breakfast was great. My wife and I have stayed in BW Plus hotels a lot. We will put this one at the top of our list. Highly recommend! Thanks BW Plus Staff for a great stay! Mike & Michele.
The staff was incomparable and so friendly. Not a fan of Covid restrictions to certain areas but it is what it is. The only drawback is the rooms are mostly bed so no relaxing in a comgfortable chair to watch television.
It has been a while since we have stayed anywhere because of COVID. This was a really good welcome back to travelling. The staff was most welcoming, everything was very clean, the room was inviting and super clean. Free water in the fridge, cookies presented at check-in what more could one ask for?
My room was lovely and clean with a choice of pillows. AC worked great, disturbances were kept to a minimum. The staff is VERY friendly and personable. I am in hotels alone sometimes for months at a time so a friendly, outgoing staff willing to chat for a few minutes on occasion is nice. The hotel is across the street from a Costco and there is a Denny's and small lounge in the same parking lot. Minutes to grocery stores and other restaurants.
The entire staff was friendly and professional from the front desk ladies to the maids. My bed was comfortable and clean and the sheets were soft. It was an excellent value for the money. I will definitely stay there again. Such a convenient location.
From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed and the guys in the lobby were fantastic. The room was more than I expected for the price we paid. It was super clean and the bed was very comfortable. Location was very centrally located. The continental breakfast was at the Denny's across the parking lot. Cant say enough about our stay. We will be booking future dates with them.
This hotel was beautiful! Everyone was so nice, willing to answer questions, help any guests. The staff remembered people's names and did a great job with customer service. Room was very clean and loved all the amenities.
Excellent experience. Although this is not a fancy hotel, we had everything we needed. The room was very clean, quiet, and well-stocked. The beds were very comfortable. I appreciated the enthusiasm of the staff and their willingness to make sure we felt welcome and had everything we needed. We were within close proximity to our daughter's school and downtown Salem.
I was utterly impressed with this Best western plus. First of all the service was outstanding and Misty greeted us very quickly at the front desk and got us situated. The lobby is very nice and clean which is a great first impression. The rooms looked like they had been updated which I really appreciated because it makes it seem like the hotel actually cares about their business and its guests. They were very clean and probably one of the most comfortable beds I had ever slept on. The rooms have a small fridge, microwave, and coffee station so that was nice. The room smelled clean and fresh and it had a great working A/C and heater. This location is in a very quiet area so if that's important I would choose this location. Costco is nearby and several restaurants within a 1 to 2 mile range and of course Dennys in the parking lot. During my visit the pool and sauna as well as the fitness room were all open. Complimentary coffee and cookies are a nice touch in the lobby too. Enjoy your stay, it will be worth it!
Enjoyed our stay at Best Western. Comfortable room, coupons to Denny's on the property for breakfast, no complaints. Would recommend this facility to others. Met our expectations. Easy check in and check out.
The internet where I was staying wasn't viable for working so I called a few other properties and they all seemed to have recommended yours in their list of 3 to check out. That's usually a good sign. I called and talked to a very nice lady named Cynthia who made my 2 night reservation for me. The lasted all of 3 minutes and it was done. Very efficient. When I got there she even offered a comp upgrade to a really nice suite with a full kitchen. She was very nice and personable. Audit, in my experience, is usually a thankless job so thank you Cynthia! I hope you and your husband can go to the beach. Thanks for a wonderful stay.
This hotel suprised me! From the outside, it seemed like a "normal" hotel by the interstate, but once inside my opinion changed. The inside was nicely decorated and had a cool fireplace at the entrance. The room we were given was near the stairs and the elevator, but I didn't hear either! They still have bathroom fans, which are hard to find and the room was spacious!
Nice and clean hotel, great friendly staff!! It's close to local restaurants like Denny's across the way and others a short drive away. There is a Costco across the street for needed items and food. The Costco gas station attendants gets you fueled up in no time and on your way!!
I called to change how many days we would be staying and Misty at the front desk changed it right away. When we arrived she welcomed us and thanked us for calling ahead about the change. We were very happy with the clean rooms and all the staff was very polite. Thank you
Soccer trip. 5 teams from Washington East Soccer Club in Spokane. Accommodations were amazing. Costco right across the street. Plenty of food choices. The hotel is a nice blend of very clean facilities and updated rooms. A nice business office. Pool, hot tub and workout room are all clean and very usable. Front office staff customer service was exceptional!! 5 plus stars for Misty and Jen who really made us feel welcomed and like a top priority. Mya and Dylan also made our teams feel very comfortable. I would recommend this hotel for any type of travel to Salem, OR. We will be back for sure.
The room was clean and very quiet. Theres no noise in the room from I-5, or from other rooms. We got the last room. So the building was full. I didnt check in by way of the internet. I simply showed up and inquired about a room and the desk clerk made it a simple process and explained everything. You will also receive a complimentary breakfast from Dennys for each guest, which is located across the parking lot. I recommend this Best Western to anyone. Our room was 314 which had a bedroom, livingroom, and microwave, fridge and sink. We were very satisfied. Also the complimentary soap, shampoo and conditioner was awesome.
We were in town for an Ironman event. Despite the fact that the hotel was fully-booked, we had very professional and friendly service. Misty helped us at checkin and couldn't have been more friendly. Our rooms were clean and well-appointed. We would definitely stay here again.
I have stayed at the Best Western-Mill Creek for both business and leisure for at least ten years. It is my go-to place in Salem. Friendly staff, free breakfast at Denny's next door, close to places I have needed or wanted to go, clean and pleasant rooms, and dog friendly! Always worth my money.
The young gentleman, John checked me in..He was knowledgeable, funny and charming. He made the check in process very easy for me. Our room was absolutely spotless as well. Across the parking lot is a lovely Denny's where we recieved our complementary breakfast as well as 50% off our dinner. I highly recommend this as a wonderful place to stay.
I was just in town for one day and what an awesome experience! Friendly and welcoming. The receptionist at night and in the morning were so kind. I didn't get to enjoy the complimentary breakfast at Denny's because of an early morning hike, but I was thankful for the the “Grab & Go” bag that the hotel offers, with fruit and water, which fit my needs perfectly. I also loved the fresh coffee that I could take with me. The hotel was very clean as well as my room. The price was reasonable. I wish all my hotel experiences were this top notch! Thank you for making me feel welcomed in a place I've never been before.
We had a wonderful stay at the Best Western Plus Mill Creek Inn! The staff was amazing and welcoming ~ thank you Misty and Jen for making our stay memorable. We were traveling with our autistic daughter and they could not have been more accommodating and professional. I don't think during our three night stay the smile ever left Misty's face! You ladies are such an asset to this establishment!
My family has been displaced since February due to an ice storm that damaged our house. We came to Best Western Mill Creek the night after the storm & were blown away (to say the least)! Since then, this hotel has become a 2nd home to us. Everyday the employees have gone the ‘extra mile' to help my family with whatever it is that we need. Just an example... last night I told Misty from the front desk that I was bummed out bc the soda machine wasn't working. Well she went to the store on her break & got me my diet soda!! I am not even kidding about this!! Misty has given us the most top-notch customer service, making us feel at-home even at the most stressful times. Seriously everyone has been fabulous to us... the management clearly does a phenomenal job training their staff, we can't say enough good things! This is all on top of having the cleanest rooms, comfiest beds, and nicest pool that you can find. We've stayed everywhere & I can honestly say that you cannot do better than this hotel!!!
We stayed at this BW in the south end of Salem, OR. Have never stayed there before. Upgraded to a Suite but had only one sink in bathroom, & "Living Room" furniture was very low. Hard for an old guy like me to even get up when I sat down. This motel uses a nearby Dennys Restaurant for breakfast, either "eat in" with waitress, or carry out to our room. My breakfast was the best motel breakfast I have had in the last almost two years & no charge of course. Tells me I want to stay there again, & so will you.
Misty at check-in (and check-out) had the bubbliest personality and took care of us quickly while making sure we understood all of the hotel details/amenities. The breakfast served at Dennys was solid and we received great service there as well. There is a limited hotel-only menu you can choose from and a $2 pancake add-on option. I am picky about pillows and during my recent trip which included stays at several hotels, the Mill Creek Inn pillows were my favorite.
Clean, comfortable, quality hotel with excellent service staff and great amenities and very Pet Friendly! Staff noticed us and greeted us promptly at check-in, gave us complimentary fresh baked cookies and treats for our dog. They gave us a main floor room by the exit for convenient access to the designated dog walk grassy area. Misty at the front desk was amazingly friendly and helpful! Our room was very clean and comfortable. Fridge stocked with water. Quality comfortable bed (no noisy springs). Hotel has a nice pool for adults and kids, and a sauna and good workout room. Complementary vouchers for breakfast at Denny's in the hotel lot. Hotel is right across the road from Costco, and located close to Downtown Capital park and Riverfront park. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
We stayed during a major heat wave and needed to escape our broken AC. The staff were great! Free breakfast at Denny's and discounted dinner was such a nice perk. And the kids loved the pool! The workout room had 2 treadmills, elliptical, and a recumbent bike. The motel was very clean, rooms and beds comfortable. We didn't hear our neighbors even though the hotel was sold out. We would definitely recommend!
Super hotel. Large room, comfortable bed, amenities. Breakfast next door at Denny's; so much better than typical “grab ‘n go” at most places since COVID-19. Pool open with a reservation. Laundry facilities available.
Misty greeted us when we arrived, and she was so nice to my daughters (5 and 7). Multiple staff throughout our visit were friendly, and we felt very welcome. Room was clean. Bathroom, bed, TV, etc. more than adequate. Pool was great temp. I'd definitely stay here again.
My family and I went on a business trip and stayed in this hotel for 2 weeks. We had zero problems. Misty along with John were extremely nice and welcoming. I would recommend this place and I would definitely stay there again. Thanks for a clean, friendly and wonderful stay.
We stayed in a very nice, clean room with 2 queen beds. Modern furniture with refrigerator and microwave. Due to Covid, the hotel offers a free breakfast at the Denny's that is across the parking lot. My family of 4 each had a 2 eggs, sausage or bacon, hash browns, 2 pieces of toast, and drink with the free vouchers given to us by the hotel. A nice change from other places we have stayed that offer little to no breakfast options due to Covid. They also had a very clean indoor pool and jacuzzi that you can use with reservations (easy to make at the front desk). Customer service was great! Everyone was helpful.
We stayed at this Best Western Plus Mill Creek Inn while we attended a wedding. The suite was huge and elegant. The staff was professional and friendly. In my experience in staying in motels, this motel was the absolute best. Plus we loved getting a full breakfast at Denny's included in the cost of the motel.
The room was bigger than most hotel rooms, beds were comfortable- two pillows, nice sheets. Two sinks, one in the bathroom with a full countertop, one outside in dressing area. The pool was a very nice area, clean, with a nice whirlpool and a smaller wading pool. You had to reserve time to swim due to COVID restrictions limiting use. Nice that they gave a voucher to Denny's next door, for breakfast. The location was nice- a little away from some of the riffraff, but not too far off the main roads.
I've written a review for this property before, and have stayed with them now probably six more times. They continue to shine with service, value, location, and more. You probably know how hard it is to get back stuff you might have left in a room, or on an airplane? On a recent trip I put my water bottle down to complete the checkout. A couple of hours down the road I realized what I had done, and called. They found the bottle, and I asked them to hold it until I returned again (we are buying a home in Salem, and so are making trips there from No. Cal). I didn't get back for a couple of weeks. Imagine how much "stuff" they had found in that time frame. Day 1 of the return they couldn't find the bright red, aluminum American Conifer Society water bottle. But the woman at the front desk didn't stop looking. The next morning the bottle was waiting for me. It had been saved, wrapped in paper with all my information, and held for my return. It is this constant effort that sets the team apart here. The front desk crew is always working - helping with information, giving tips on where to go and how to get there; sanitizing the public area; checking on the pool and sauna area. It's a dedicated team. And while due to Covid protocols housekeeping doesn't service your room every day, they are always willing to help with new towels, soap, etc. And a hello every time you pass them. There are lots of options in Salem, but I'm not straying from this gem of a property. And the great breakfast deal you get at the Denny's next door.
This was a great place to stay. Easy access from the highway. Rooms were big and clean, beds were comfortable, staff was friendly and helpful. Free breakfast was nice too! We would stay here again when in the area.
Check in was great and quick. All the front desk ladies are so sweet and friendly. I had to travel for my grandmother's funeral by self myself with my two boys. I felt safe and it felt like a home away from home because of the lovely ladies at the front desk. We loved the Denny's vouchers for breakfast! Costco is across the street and Walmart down the street for any forgotten items. We will be booking this place again July when we come back for our family reunion.
Went to Salem for one night. Sourced a hotel with an indoor swimming pool and lucked out when selecting this property. We had such a wonderful stay. The front desk personnel was friendly and helpful. The room was large and the beds comfortable. The liked that pool time was by reservation only - i.e. one family at a time. Our children were in heaven. We will definitely be back.
One of the nicer hotels in the Salem area. CLEAN, offers affordable rates, and tremendous customer service that is always on par. I own a small business and travel quite frequently. If you sign up for their rewards program, it makes it even more of a bargain.. I always check their availability first when I book for business, or pleasure. .
Very friendly and helpful staff, always happy to answer any questions or help you in any way they can. Room was clean and the bed comfortable. I was visiting family so the location was very convenient because I would be traveling to the north, south and east of Salem. Will be using this hotel again.
I was a member at La Quinta Inn have been fir years until I booked in Salem Oregon. They treated me so bad I want them demonized. But Best Western was there to save the day Or night if you will. They got us a room on short notice. It was super clean smelled nice and had a wonderfully soft bed. I asked for extra pillows and they were on it in seconds. I was so grateful for their honesty and sincere respect.
Our room was great, perfect for us and the kids. Staff was busy but were friendly and took care of us and our requests. The foyer is fantastic and our room was spacious and well laid out. Room temperature was perfect. The blinds allowed too much light in from the parking lot lights outside (shades should be darker to block out more light). We don't travel a lot, but this was definitely one of our more enjoyable places we've stayed.
Hotel was very clean with good COVID protocols in place. Breakfast was decent as well. Staff was very helpful and parking was great as well. Safety was a priority to us and hotel was secure. All in all, the hotel was worth the stay and the rooms were very clean.
We had a long drive from California and we were able to check in early. Staff was very nice and the room was large and very clean. It was nice that we were able to get a comped breakfast from the Denny's next door. They also had grab and go available. I did miss the coffee in the lobby though!!!
I stayed here while on call for the hospital and I brought my family the staff here is better then any hotel I've even been too and the man at the front desk had the best customer service I've ever seen! My stay was so amazing and such a breath of fresh air it was actually relaxing to be on call! I am incredibly impressed
Warm welcome at door and not in a Sarcastic way. Rooms clean and when needed extra pillows and blankets they where brought up fast. Breakfast was provided at Dennys. Only issue was I was given 1 coupon and to get Breakfast you needed 1 each so I had to go back and grab 4 more for family. Should be a box with how many in the room or a scanner for the room key.
Always clean. Very friendly staff. Allows pets. One of my favorite BW hotels. Reserved online. Fast check in. Easy check out. Pool and fitness room always available for use. Give Dennys breakfast coupon for breakfast. Always stay at this hotel when need a hotel in Salem.
Staff gave me directions since I did not know the area, and do not have a smart phone. They have a great partnership with Denny's for breakfast also. Staff at all levels said hello, and ask me if there was anything I needed. Suite was spotlessly clean, and well set-up for my rest. Thank you!!
I had been out of power due to an ice storm and I really wanted to get clean, watch TV and relax. Great place to stay. Desk Clerk was very attentive and helpful. I would stay there again and will suggest to others as a good place to stay.
Our stay was due to the power outages and ice storm. And, I have to say the staff and service was impeccable. The caring and courtesy they showed not only to us but all of the guests who were trying to find a warm place for their families was overwhelming! They went above and beyond to accommodate all of our needs. We would highly recommend a stay at this wonderful hote.!
was the better half's comment on Sunday morning. We stayed Friday and Sat nights here, and we are really pleased. It is tough to run a hotel in these Covid times, but this place is really doing it right. The check-in with John S was easy , fun and welcoming. And then he was a fountain of information about local sights, parks and restaurants. Minto Brown Park, Busch Park - both fabulous for an out of state birder. And later when we asked about a pizza place, John knew which places had the best specialties - thin crust, local beers, toppings. He was a delight and helpful all weekend. Breakfast while traveling has been reduced to "Grab and Go' little baggies. Not here, They've partnered with the Denny's next door to provide YOUR CHOICE of hot (or cold) breakfasts, prepared to order. This place is convenient to I-5, the Salem airport, and the Salem area. As we continue to look for a home in Oregon, this will be our home base for the search. Well done Best Western Plus and the team at Mill Creek Inn.
Recently stayed at this motel. The front desk person was a delight. Helpful, pleasant and thoughtful. Hands down nicest front desk staff I have encountered in quite a while. The room was large and very clean. Beds comfy with thick pillows. I would stay here again.
I felt pampered all weekend. The conference room was well lit, maintained a comfortable temperature and included refrigerator, microwave and sink. It was a large space so we could maintain social distancing. Safety protocols were in place. The room was well designed, comfortable and clean. The Denny's voucher for breakfast was convenient, speedy. Friendly and accomodating staff.
We walked in and we were greeted generously by the front desk attendant. The check-in was quick as we already had the reservations made. We stayed in a King Suite room and it was nicely decorated and very clean. My girlfriend and I had a great stay and would definitely return to Best Western Mills Creek Inn Salem, Oregon!
The staff was very outgoing and friendly. From check in to check out, we were always greeted and asked if we needed anything. The room was spacious and clean. This was oyr 2nd time staying here. We are looking forward to our third next month!
I frequently stay in Best Western hotels because I travel with my dogs and they are my go-to for pet friendly stays. Some of them are so-so, some are okay and some are so grim that the best I can say is okay, we have a place to stay for the night. The Mill Creek Best Western Plus was a total surprise to me - the pleasant decor and cheerful service were spot on! The way the lobby was decorated for Christmas made it look like a much more expensive hotel and was so pleasant to come back to at the end of the day! Hot breakfasts were a really nice way to kick off each morning and even the to-go grab bag I snagged on the day we left, while nothing exciting, was decent, with a breakfast bar, a fresh piece of fruit and a full-sized bottle of water. This will be my go-to from now on when visiting in the Salem area.
Super awesome ! Lobby had a Christmas Tree and lights and was very festive. Great friendly service. Comfy beds and clean rooms. Located a couple minutes off 5 easy to find. Free breakfast at Denny's . Highly recommend . Also great for my little puppy travelling with me.
This property does a great job taking Covid-19 precautions. They had Plexi-glass and sanitizing at check-in and all staff were wearing masks. For extra safety, we requested a room that hadn't been occupied for a few days - they even told us how long it had been since someone last stayed in the room. Lots of safety measures - remote controls were in disposable plastic sleeves. . We used DoorDash to deliver dinner to our room. Easy and Safe stay!
Great, can't say enough about our stay. Manager super friendly as well as the additional staff. TV remote was sanitized and in a baggie. Very clean room. Breakfast at Denny's where you can choose 5 different entrees. Checked in before check in time and was offered a later check out if needed. We spent 13 days total due to Wildfire damage to our home at 4 different hotels in the area. By far, this was the best one.
Check-in and check-out were super quick and easy, lobby was decorated beautifully for Christmas, room was quiet and cozy. I felt safe and secure and the room was sanitized well for COVID precautions. I truly enjoyed my stay here. I would highly recommend to anyone.
The beds were so comfy! We asked for and received extra pillows and there are extra blankets in case you get chilly. The shower works great. You know how sometimes the tub won't drain at a hotel? Not here! It actually drained, haha. The shower head had three settings, which all worked correctly. No lime buildup preventing it from working right. The TV was easy to use, in other words, not so complicated to figure out the remote. Appreciated the emphasis on cleanliness and mask-wearing.
This Best Western Plus was the best we've ever stayed in. Crew were friendly and the room was nicely appointed and comfortable. It was very clean. The manager was able to access our Rewards account easily.
My stay was wonderful. The staff is amazing. The front desk experience was refreshing. All the staff was wearing masks and i got takeout food and the staff made sure everything went smooth. The cleaning crew was very nice aswell, i could tell they were smiling even though thet had masks on.
Great price for a high-quality hotel stay. Friendly professional service at the front desk. Clean, spacious, well lighted room. Great shower with plenty of hot water and pressure. Voucher for full breakfast at the next-door Denny's. Quiet and peaceful for a convenient location near I5. Would definitely recommend to other travelers and hope to stay there again soon.
After heavily researching the other hotels in this area, this hotel had the best and most ratings. It was obvious as to why upon arrival. This place was BUSY! Room options were limited. The room was a bit outdated and was in need of a refresh. Toilet did not work properly. Hotel was clean and staff was friendly. No issues during stay.
Front desk manager, John Schleufer, and his staff created the most welcoming and friendly atmosphere I have ever encountered at a hotel. They went above and beyond to help us with whatever we needed, be it restaurant recommendations or laundry detergent. This is where I always want to stay in Salem. Jane S.
This was not a brand new property but it was kept clean and beautifully decorated with Halloween theme. The room had a good size and everything functioned well. We had a great time even though it was only one night. They include breakfast at Denny's (next to hotel) which was very good. It could be better if the menu offerings include more choices. Regarding price and value, this was average compared to other hotels we stayed during our road trip.
It was important to us to stay in a hotel that took COVID precautions seriously. We were very happy and relieved to see how serious they took it. The front desk had a shield, the front attendant wore a mask and hand sanitized between each person that was being attended to. Breakfast was not held at the hotel, but rather a voucher for breakfast at the Denny's in the same parking lot was offered. That was a nice feature. You could call and preorder your meal or have a sit down meal. We didn't stay there long enough to require room service, but I would have felt very comfortable doing so since I saw every hotel employee wearing masks. Our rooms were clean and fully stocked.
We had to evacuate the Santiam Canyon early morning September 8th. That afternoon we arrived at the Best Western Plus Mill Creek Inn3125 Ryan Dr SE, Salem, OR 97301-9682 to welcoming individuals. One elderly, one wheelchair bound, two others greeted with hospitality and welcoming arms. Eventually we found many of our Canyon friends also housed. We were dislocated from September 8th to 18th and given privacy, warm assistance, and friendly goodbyes. In a time where so many were driven from their homes, the staff and management were pleasant and took great care of us.
Mill Creek Inn is a beautiful hotel! Reminds us of the Hilton. Reasonably priced and in a great location! Your 1 minute away from the hwy yet cant hear traffic. During these covid times this is the ONLY hotel that hasn't stopped providing everything your paying for. You get a complementary breakfast at denny's or a sack breakfast it's your choice. The pool is avalible by appointment with cleaning between each user, as well as there work out room. We can't rave about the staff enough. Housekeeping does a wonderful job keeping the entire hotel clean and disinfected. Our favorite front desk clerk is JOHN, this man can make you smile in seconds even when your not having a great day! He brightens any room!!! We have yet to not enjoy a laugh with John every time we talk with him! A raise is reccomend for sure: However we have really got to know and enjoy all the staff as we have been in the hotel for an extended time. The only downfall of this hotel in our opinion is no weekly rate for those of us having to use a hotel for longer than usual stays. We want to let anyone know who reads this.. it's a great place and we know you will enjoy it just as much as we have! They are a 3 story hotel, pet friendly, and have an elevator. During covid housekeeping isn't avalible to people staying over longer, however you can ask for and/or exchange any supplies needed such as towels, etc. any time your in need. Also provided in every room is coffee pot, microwave, fridge, landline, big tv's,ac, iron with board, luggage rack. We were in awww of the room sizes!! You really got it right with this hotel we love you mill creek inn. Thank you!!!
Conveniently located, nicely landscaped, pleasant front desk personnel, clean spacious room with nice amenities including full breakfast at Denny's (on property). Would have given 5 stars ... However, lesson learned ... request top floor so you don't have to listen to kids upstairs jumping on furniture and running up & down the halls. Since “quiet hours” don't start until 9:00pm, the front desk can't really do anything before that time. Perhaps families with children should be given rooms on the ground floor. We will continue to stay at Best Western properties but request top floor rooms.
My family (and dog) were displaced in the middle of the night on 9/8 due to the wildfires east of Salem, OR. We made it out with just the clothes on our backs. I was able to get the last reservation available online for this hotel. Upon arrival, we found a lot of other people waiting to be checked in, with similar attire and exasperated/tired looks on their faces. We were all greeted by the most lovely, warm, bubbly, soothing person, Misty. She was such a bright light in what was such a grim night. Her attitude was ON POINT! Every person she spoke with, she showed oodles of empathy and courtesy. She was multitasking, answering phones, questions, and checking-in as many people as she could possibly get, all with the biggest smile. I will forever remember her spirit and how well she represented Best Western! She has made an eternal impression on my family! We did end up losing our house and once the insurance agency got involved to find us temporary housing for the next few months, we told them we must remain at the BW due to the excellent service and peace of mind we had experienced. The Manager has gone out of his way to assist us with our future stay and we will be moving to a suite tomorrow so that we have more room and can get to some sort of "normal". :-) One note is that they only accept dogs in the rooms with an additional deposit, but not cats.
We were recently evacuated from our hometown in Oregon due to wildfires in the region. As we needed a place to stay for awhile, we chose this place since it's near home and I am a rewards customer. The staff were great. Misty especially had to deal with a rush of unexpected scared and nervous customers, and did so with calm, cheerfulness, and patience. She got everyone in she could accomodate. The rest of the staff has been great, including Jen the supervisor, and everyone else has been most helpful. We are anxious to get home, as of now we have been here nine days. But till then this has brought comfort and peace.
Excellent location for business stay. Close to I-5 and down town. Quiet room. Covid-19 has closed down the breakfast area and no coffee except in room coffee maker. Very friendly staff. Overall pleasant stay.
Truly memorable stay. Convenient location minutes from downtown, Riverfront Park, restaurants and more. We will definitely return! It would be helpful to have staff wear name tags that are large enough to be read from 6 feet away.
Stayed for the beginning of August. Hotel was clean and well stocked, the staff were friendly and extremely helpful, and the room was very comfortable (nice bed and sheets!) The pool and hot tub were a nice plus. We really appreciated all of the helpful hints from those at the front desk about local places to eat and see, and every place we went to that they recommended was awesome! Would definitely recommend to anyone.
The hotel is nice. The pool & room space/amenities are great, but Misty & John are what make this place next level for your stay. Top notch customer service & with a great sense of humor! Thank you for making this a huge bright spot during our trip! Would definitely stay here again just because of them!
Hotel is newly decorated and right off I-5 and has partnered with Denny's for breakfast, so it's freshly cooked and delicious. Rooms and bathrooms are spacious. Ours even had a small kitchen area with a bar.
We needed to come to Salem for a family emergency. It was nice to find a lovely hotel to stay at since we had other things we had to deal with. Rooms were very large and clean. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was offered with a voucher for Denny's next door. Meal was very substantial. Grab and go bags were also available. They accommodated our service animal without issue. We need to be back in Salem later in August and plan on staying here again.
Beautiful inside and out. Rooms are large, clean, comfortable, and modern in decor. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I can't imagine a better value for the price. They are pet-friendly and next time we're in Salem we will definitely stay here!
Everything from check-in to check-out - top notch and enjoyable! Friendly people at the front desk - comfortable, clean, beautiful rooms and services - nice breakfast at Denny's a few steps away - I highly recommend - and they got me a good rate!!
Stayed with my grandson as we traveled 4000+ miles in a week. Friendly staff, clean room, easily accessible from Interstate. Quiet and comfortable stay. Free breakfast at Denny's is great and it was a convenient stop for dinner after 11 hours of driving, as well. Pool is open by reservation only and only one room/party at a time. We had the area to ourselves for a full hour. Would stay again.
Front desk worker John was awesome. We had a long drive from California we were tired and worn out. John flipped our mood real quick and upgraded us by signing us up. Top notch service we will be returning. He made the night. Great room.
The hotel was clean and appears to have taken proper Covid 19 safety precautions. They have installed the plexiglass at the check in desk. I saw cleaning products around. The breakfast voucher at Denny's was nice. Had a choice of 5 options for breakfast. We had a carrier on the car and most parking spaces were taken. Front desk was very accommodating and let us park near the front for the night. Definitely would stay here again.
Excellent best western ... Best service,location amenities,cleanest. Swimming pool and breakfast at denny's were fantastic.. In general I would stay in this place as many times I need... Front desk and service were fantastic.. My family enjoy our staying.
I stayed at BW mill creek and it was super clean. The folks were nice. I brought take out back for dinner and the front first gave me a fork bc she knew this particular restaurant always forgets to give plastic ware. She was right. I got up to my room and they had not given me a fork. She also brought up extra pillows so my husband and I could make a pillow fort for my son.
I was a walk in customer just hoping that there would be a room available. The front desk clerk was extremely busy but made sure to greet everyone and continue to communicate with them throughout the process. My room was beautiful and very clean. I would stay again in the future.
I have been staying at the best Western Mill Creek Inn for over 18 years. I have stayed at other hotels in Salem, but this property is well cared for with modern updates. The staff are friendly and professional.
The only keep this from being a five-star review couldn't bring my cat with me, I loved the room but I have anxiety and my cat is my comfort animal I know weird but he is the only thing that keeps me grounded when I get attacks so the fact that they only allow dogs kind of irks me the wrong way.
Room was large, comfortable and clean! Beds were comfy and linens nice as well. Loved that you could actually open the window! Staff was friendly and helpful and knowledgeable. Felt safe there and the free Dennys breakfast was a plus as well.
I was very impressed with the cleaning going on during my stay. Even the bench outside the front door was being wiped down frequently. All team members were in masks and very friendly. My check in was quick and easy.
First off, thanks to John, the manager who greeted us the afternoon of May 30, 2020. He is enthusiastic about his job and bends over backwards. The hotel is lovely for the price — you can tell it's up a level from the regular Best Westerns. Our room (207) was clean, neat, and functioning. I liked the credit card vending machines — so much easier than coin and bill-operated. We don't have pets but we noticed enough amenities to allow for traveling pets. Thank you for the complimentary Denny's breakfast vouchers. If my mother and I are to die on this trip while traveling north to our destination in northern Washington State if we get caught in the middle of some riot in Portland or Seattle, at least, we had a great night's stay and a decent free breakfast.
When ever we go down to the valley we always try and stay at the Best Western Plus Mill Creek Inn because of how easy it is to get to the Inn. There is always enough parking and the restaurant right beside the motel is so helpful.
I am so incredibly happy and impressed with our stay at this Best Western! Due to the covid-19 pandemic the pool room was closed and they are doing breakfast differently but they are handling it great! We were checked in by John, who was helpful and made us feel right at home! He was replaced by a woman named Misty and let me just say, she is the epitome of PERFECT customer service! I went to the desk to ask for more towels and it must have been at shift change time because both John and Misty were there. She quickly introduced herself to me and asked which room I was staying in for the night. I had to call the front desk a bit later and she was so incredibly helpful and remembered my name, which I felt added such a personal touch! She was so fast to help me with what I had called about and when I later went to the desk to ask if they had bottles of water she ended up giving me toothbrushes and toothpaste as well because i had forgotten ours. While I was talking to her I told her how much I appreciated her, and how absolutely incredible she is at her job. She definitely made our stay even better just by being herself. Our room was great, very clean and they have things in bags so you know they have been sanitized. Overall amazing stay!
John at the front desk went WAY out of his way to look after us. We surely appreciated it! Thank you!! These are stressful times for everyone. We are travelling with a large dog and were made to feel welcomed. A treat bag for Amelia was provided, with a spare poop bag, just in case you ran out. Always a nice touch.
I stayed at the Best Western Plus Mill Creek Inn for several days in November-December 2019 for a family emergency. I did not know day-to-day for how long my stay would continue, and the front desk staff were fabulous in working with me, patiently extending my stay at different times without a single complaint or bit of impatience. Ashley was especially helpful and supportive. Also, when I'd made the reservation, I had requested a room on the quieter side of the hotel - and the room I was given was absolutely what I wanted. Because of that, I returned to the BW Plus Mill Creek for a work visit for the night of February 17, and I found the service exactly as I remembered. I was given another very quiet room, and then after I checked out, I called to ask if someone had found an item I thought I'd left in the room. Jen answered the phone and offered to run up to the room to see if she could find it. Well, she didn't find it - and I did figure out that I actually had not left it there. (Sorry, Jen!) Both rooms were very very clean before check-in and after cleaning by staff. Everyone was friendly and polite. When I was there during the transition from November to December, it was fun to watch the staff change the decorations from fall to Christmas! The hotel entrance and lobby are beautiful and elegant, which is very nice.
The staff is apparently hand picked to be cheerful and helpful. The adjacent Denny's is owned by the same family, and surprisingly clean , and the food high quality due to close oversight by the owners.
Very fresh and modern hotel. Rooms were very clean. Staff was excellent and attentive. Breakfast at Dennys was very good and an easy walk from the hotel. The next time we are in Salem, this will be our go to hotel!
Love this place. Great customer service and relaxing environment. Swimming pool & hot tub is a great way to end the day. The breakfast at Denny's was good also. The rooms are up to date and very clean. Can't hear the neighbors, which is very nice.
My room was spotless!! Don't think I have ever has such a clean room. Plus the room was in great shape, no typical "wear and tear" noticeable. Friendly staff and quick check in and out. Quiet room too. no problems at all.
When I can, I like to stay at this hotel. Very friendly! I go between this hotel and another one but this is the one I like to stay at if the price is right. So many options of restaurants close by as well as Costco near by. Easy to get a great breakfast in the morning as well!!!
The staff or friendly and helpful, offering smiles and information at any time of day or night. Our room (a suite) was spacious enough for us and our two kids. Breakfast at Denny's and jumps in the pool were family favorites!
I stay here 2-3 nights a month and the cheerfulness of everyone working is always present. Detail to attention is obvious from bed(new and comfortable) to breakfast(good spread and cooked right). Also it's quiet! Just far enough from the freeway for NO traffic noise. Soup at 5 PM is wonderful.
Clean comfortable and updated, this is a great place to stay. Great front desk staff at check-in and check out. And I wish that they had the convenience of an onsite breakfast like other Best Western Plus hotels. Instead, you get a voucher for a nearby Denny's restaurant for a breakfast that is for very limited items on that menu and does not include breakfast breads (bagels, muffins, etc).
Always clean and comfortable rooms with outstanding staff. The staff go above and beyond in a effort to make your stay enjoyable leaving you with a desire to return. I would recommend Best Western Mill Creek Inn to anyone.
Staying for business at state rate- best value in Salem for the price, large double queen rooms, free $5 breakfast at Denny's, with top amenities like a large indoor pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and exercise room. Friendly responsive front desk and good WiFi.
From the moment I arrived to the point I left I was treated well. The room was beautiful clean and quiet. The staff was outstanding and far better than top hotels. Highly recommend this as breakfast is included and WiFi. The pool and exercise room were well maintained and provided enough variety to get a great workout. Loved my stay and will definitely stay here again. Very convenient to highway access too
Check-in was great, clerk was really helpful and offered restaurant recommendations, etc. That level of service was above and beyond what I expected for the price. Our room had a strong chemical odor of bleach or chlorine or something like that. We were on the 3rd floor above the pool so it's possible it came from the vents. We opened the window and ran the fan and it aired out in about an hour and the smell didn't come back after we closed the window. When I was opening the window, I saw the back side of the curtains were filthy, my hands were dirty after I touched them. My daughter also found two blood stains on one of her pillow cases as we were going to bed. Our room was near the stairwell so every time anyone went up or down, the fire door slammed and woke us up. In fairness, we didn't report these issues. I am confident the hotel would have changed our room if we had asked, but I didn't want to bother for a short stay after we had already settled in.
Very nice hotel. Friendly staff. Room was very nice and pool was good for kids. The location was convenient for my stay. Only complaint was that the breakfast could have been better, there was only a few choices.
We nearly always stay at a Best Western Glad we did. Room was nice , clean and quiet. the location easy to find. The Staff was very friendly and helpful, check in was smooth check out just as smooth. Overall very happy with the total experience. BTW, Denny's is within walking distance. If we visit Salem again we will stay here again.
We had one of our best hotel experiences ever last night - from check-in to check-out. The staff were friendly and helpful, our room exceeded our expectations, and the Christmas decorations were fantastic,
I have stayed here several time over the years, I've never been disappointed, the Rooms are clean, well kept, and the staff is always friendly. Highly recommended . With your stay comes a free breakfast at Denny's and a 15% discount on dinners after 4 pm
The Mill Creek Inn, a Best Western Plus property in Salem Oregon is top-notch. Whether for business or just a leisure stop on a road trip it is one of the finest properties we have stayed at during our travels. Location, Location, location. located approximately five minutes off the I-5 is the first attraction. Secondly, the property itself really exemplifies the quality and comfort that is to be found in Best Western Plus properties. If your stay necessitates a leisurely, or work side journey into Salem that is only about 10 minutes away at most. Breakfast is provided by Denny's which is located just adjacent to the property proper. The general ambiance, created by the staff, in harmony with the physical property, contributes to a great night's stay or a week's work away from home setting. Without reservation, I would recommend this property if you find yourself in the Salem area, for work or play.
My family travels a lot! We stay in a lot of Best Westerns every year, and this one is one of the best yet!!! Great service, CLEAN rooms, Family friendly pools, Great price, Restaurants and Stores close by, Quiet location, AAAAAA+++++++
I love this hotel in that it has a recliner in the King bed rooms and that Denny's is just across the parking lot for food and drinks. It is my go to place when I am in Salem. This hotel is also on the same street as the hospital which makes It convenient. I also feel that it is placed well between downtown Salem and south Salem plus being close to I-5.
Staff at the hotel was exceptional very clean comfortable made the kids feel right at home. The restaurant on the other hand was surprisingly unprofessional when it takes you over an hour just to get water to drink 2 hours to get your food which was not right or cooked properly that is a problem especially when it's not even busy. And the unprofessionalism of the manager and wait staff was just shocking. $80 bill or food that was not correct and took 2 hours to receive would you leave a tip? Well I did not and the manager copped a major attitude about it. Hotel was great staff there was great restaurant is a joke.
The Best Western at Mill Creek, Salem is located in a perfect spot for the traveler or business person. I like the proximity to I5, Hwy 20, and the downtown core is reached easily. Costco across the street, the airport about 1/4 mile away, and the health care facilities a straight shot into town. Go East, and you find all the retail and dining you could imagine.
When visiting Salem, we prefer to stay at the Best Western Mill Creek Inn. The hotel is always clean, rooms are very comfortable, the staff is welcoming and pleasant. Reasonably priced and a good location.
Great service, amenities, and rooms. Will stay again! Appreciate the little details like 24/7 coffee available and greeting our pup with a treat at check-in. Thanks for making the tail end of a business stay enjoyable.
I really liked my stay here while traveling from CA to WA. the hotel was in great shape, and my room was very luxurious. Meals were free next door at Denny's which was great! Front office was very friendly and efficient! I'ld stay again!
I was happy to see the beautiful Fall decorations, friendly staff, and we has a very nice welcome. My husband was acknowledged for his service in the military. The room was nice and clean, did not hear the outside noise, and the bed was supper comfortable. We had a very nice stay and I highly recommend it.
We always use this hotel when we have conferences in Salem. As soon as I know that we have a conference in Salem I call to reserve rooms. Having Denny's at walking distance and the Woodburn Outlet Mall not to far is a plus. Always greeted with friendly staff!
I have stayed here twice, and both times I have been impressed by the customer service, cleanliness of the rooms, and amenities. It is conveniently located off I-5 and is very safe. Also, instead of a continental breakfast, you receive a complimentary meal at Denny's (four options to choose from), located just across the parking lot. I know I will be staying here again for business, and I could not be happier!
I highly recommend staying at the Best Western Plus Mill Creek Inn. Ease of access to the motel from I-5 and downtown, plenty of parking, professional, accommodating staff and housekeeping. There is no on site breakfast at the motel, however, just across the parking lot is a Denny's with a great staff and good food. For those of us who allergic to dogs and cats, there seems to be an increasing amount of people dragging their pets into motels. We were actually confronted by a growling, barking dog at the elevator who was not under complete control by his owner. All hotels, motels and resorts, open to the public, should have a policy of muzzling animals on their property, before someone gets bits and sues the company.
We stay here whenever we come to Salem. We visit family in Portland & find this a good option. We have put up with the "breakfast situation" over the years. Denny's is directly across the parking lot & for us it seems the best idea rather than how it was. However, most often, you wait in line & can get bogged down in the morning rush. We've eaten dinner @ Denney's whenever we come to stay & it is affordable & pleasant. They do have a lounge/bar. The staff is courteous & food is good. You do end up spending more for breakfast because the voucher is minimal. One good thing, you don't have to get into your car to find a warm meal. Costco a few blocks away for food & gas. We brought our own coffee maker because the room coffee has it's limits. We did find the clean COLD & ample sized queen-bed room more than comfortable when you turn ON the wall heater to high & wait for the benefits. Noisy of coarse. Not sure why the hallways & our room were so cold that evening. We entered the room & found the wall heater/AC OFF & when turned on, the smell of warm dust mites was present.Took forever to get the room warmed. Very unpleasant but what can you do when its dark, cold & raining outside. We in turn were very grateful for the dated atmosphere which seemed comfortable in a funny way. Real glass mugs for warm drinks. Clear drinking glasses & ice bucket with a round wooden table with 2 wooden chairs to sit on while watching TV. Can't get any better because you don't have to sit on the beds Rugs were clean. Computer table & chair was nice touch. Good window coverings, dark room was good for sleep.The queens beds looked great but once you got into the bed itself you realize that they spend way too much money on the fancy looking bed accessories & not for the traveler who likes warm blankets, real pillows & decent linens with substance. I usually bring an extra blanket & pillows from home for this issue. We had to stack all the "extra bedding" onto the floor in order to access the bed.You'd wonder how clean those bed accessories are? We had trouble with noise. Pizza delivery next door at 10 PM along with music coming from room down hallway. Next door's bathroom fan ran forever along with early morning showers made our sleep disrupted. Loved the room vanity with 2 sinks, refrigerator was small & felt warm when opened initially. Microwave worked. Lots of storage for clothes (table tops-drawers). H20 pressure was less that good for rinsing shampoo out of hair. Liquid soap with little suds action & no bath mat. Adequate to good bath towels & wash clothes. Lighting in the bathroom was great. It was clean! I like to read at night. They had lots of lighting around the room, but the LOW wattage was annoying & would make staying more than one night a big disadvantage & dismal. USB shortage, need I say more. The large parking area in then front of the hotel beats the usual for accessibility. You will walk in the rain to the front door, it's Oregon. From the outside, the hotel is attractive & landscaping is kept up over the years.
Nice property, room etc, if you are hoping for a decent breakfast (hotel breakfast) you won't get that here. It's a joke. The WiFi doesn't work in the rooms. Other than that it's a nice place. Husband and son didn't like the beds.
Staff extremely friendly and helpful, the décor of the hotel is first rate! The rooms are clean, very accommodating and the beds very comfortable. The Fitness center is small but clean and has everything you need to have a good work out. The hotel is close to everything, very easy to get to (right off I5). I would high recommend this hotel.
Rooms are actually roomie enough to conduct exercises if you so desire. The bathroom is clean, beds are comfortable and clean. The Staff there generally cares about your stay, comfort level and if you are satisfied with the cleanliness of your room. John, the General Manager, is very eager to please, to make sure you are at ease there and John, knows where the best places to eat in Salem, no matter what your taste is. John and his staff are always professional, courteous and generously nice.
I stay at the Best Western Mill Creek inn in Salem Numerous times throughout the year for business. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff are the best that I have encountered locally, nationally, and internationally. Management and guess are lucky to have such a great crew to work with
From the minute 3 of us arrived we were treated with respect. Showed us a room that fit out needs, and guided us to restaurants that were beyond delicious. I'd return there in a heartbeat. It was a great price, and affordable.
We needed a last minute reservation in a suite for 6 nights due to an issue at another hotel. The hotel manager on duty went out of his way to reserve the suite and get us checked in. He and all the hotel staff were amazing. We enjoyed a clean and spacious room, great internet speeds and wonderful service. We will definitely be staying at this hotel again.
This hotel is safe, quiet, beautiful, and an amazing indoor spa, pool and workout room. I will stay here every time I come to Salem. It is beautifully decorated, and the staff goes above and beyond. Thank you !
Rooms, staff and having Dennys on property was great. Stayed here with other family members for my sisters wedding. Beds were very comfy and the rooms were quiet. There is a Denny's on the property. All of the servers were very nice and helpful. Would stay here again!
Arrived to hotel at 1.30am. easy to find, just off highway. Large spacious room, sink and counter outside of bathroom as well as long counter, sink, makeup mirror with bright light above inside bathroom. A great hotel, will stay again.
We have stayed at this property numerous times over the years when visiting my sister. The front desk is always friendly and helpful. Our room is spacious and very clean (we get the oversized room with couch). Breakfast is a voucher for Denny's next door which is perfect (you can get anything you want, but the voucher acts as a credit). Costco is also next door. The pool is huge and it has a nice fitness center there also. What I really like is there is a remote control for the heat/AC unit! I've never seen one anywhere else.
My wife and I stayed two nights here, in late September. It felt more like a Best Western MINUS than a Best Western Plus. The furniture in our room was outdated and dark. It dawned on me that it was like when I went over to my grandma's old apartment, and she hasn't changed her furniture in decades. It had old light bulbs too, no LED's. There were few electrical outlets, and I had to unplug the clock by the bed to plug my cell phone in. The available ones were across the room by the desk. Even then, the electrical outlets were powerful enough, but the USB connections were very underpowered. What also made it feel like grandma's place was the “guarding of the keys”. In order to use the fitness center, the sauna, or the business center you had to get the key from the reception desk. Why can't they simply be opened with your room's key card, like in all other hotels? The business center also had a one-hour limit on it's use. I have never seen that in any hotel. The guest washers and dryers are credit-card operated, and cost $1.75 per wash and $2 for drying. For the free breakfast, we had to go across the parking lot to a Denny's restaurant, where one has a limited selection of items to choose from. I am used to being in an out of a breakfast room in a hotel in 30 minutes. At the Denny's, though, it took 45 minutes before we could sit down and start in on our breakfast. The other morning, the line was so long we ended up leaving because the line was so long. There are conference rooms in the hotel. Why have these not been converted into a breakfast room and kitchen? Furthermore, expect to walk most of the year in the rain and cold to get your breakfast. This hotel needs a major renovation and in-house breakfast area. I would NOT recommend staying here again until they have done so.
Here we go on another road trip. This was our first night out, and the first time we stopped in Salem. As is normal, I check on BW hotels before I look at any others. This one is nearly perfect as far as I am concerned. The room was plenty big, and very clean. Bed was comfortable, and the a/c-heater worked fine. The place was nearly full, but we heard nothing and no one all night. My only issue was with the outlets in our room, 306. Most of them are physically weak. That is, they do not hold onto the plug tangs very well. While this is not only unsafe (I am a retired Master electrician), it pretty much doesn't allow your electronics to charge. When we got up this morning, my tablet and laptop were both all but dead, and they were plugged in. Not the end of the world of course, but bloody inconvenient. We told the desk clerk when we left this morning. Next time we stop in Salem, we'll be staying here again.
It was a great room. The staff was friendly. The beds were comfy, tons of pillows, soft fluffy comforter that was super clean and smelled nice. The room was large. I will definitely be staying there again!!
I look forward to my Best Western Mill Creek Inn stays. I recently purchased a Smartwatch which lets me know my sleep efficiency. Every time I stay at BW my sleep efficiency rate is over 90%, as compared to at home which is 85%. The comfortable pillows and bed allow me to drift off to sleep without counting sheep and stay asleep without the usual tossing and turning. Thank you.
The BW plus in Salem is on my top 10 motels of all time. The amenities are perfect. They are very well kept. The entire decor from the lobby to the rooms is exceptional. The entire mood is classy and comfortable. It make you feel like you are getting a lot more for less $$$.
Our stay at the Mill Creek Inn was excellent and would stay there again and again and would recommend this Hotel to all my friends and family, and a big thank you to John S for all your help to make our stay in the Salem area great.
When you read through the reviews for this hotel, the word that is consistently used is “service “. That's because it really is the best I've encountered in a while. My husband and I stayed on business last week. We drove in from out of town, arriving before 8:00 am. Well having left our home at 430 am to arrive on time, I was in need of a place to rest for a bit. Jen at the front desk was able to secure me an early check in at 1200. But the best part was that she did it without making us feel like we were a burden, so kind. When I returned later in the day, she remembered my name, and asked how I had spent my morning. The room was well laid out, quiet, clean, and full of the amenities. Cold water in the fridge was a big welcome. Plenty of electric ports and mirrors, two things that are underestimated and highly useful. Breakfast across the street at the Denny's was included and very nice.
A stay at the Best Western Mill Creek, Salem OR., an immediately you realized you're not only in the beautiful city of Salem, but you're about to meet one of the friendliest guy in Oregon. I'm talking about John, the Front Dest Clerk at the hotel. I thought I was being treated to the warmest, friendliest welcome I'd ever had at a hotel, until the next evening I realized that everyone knew John, and he knew every guest that walked through the Lobby. John was very informative, and provided lots of suggestions for places to visit, a true ambassador for the state. My friend who had stayed at the hotel previously, knew exactly who I was describing without much explanation on my part. The Best Western is 5 minutes to downtown, right next to Denny's, and provides a clean space with the similarities of a boutique hotel. With ample parking downtown, no need to worry about the convenience of staying downtown.
If you want a great place to stay and get good rest I recommend this hotel, it is great. The location is great, there were many shops to go to for easy access and return. I loved the hot tub and pool, Really nice pool size for exercise, and good temperature for the hot tub.
Hotel was very nice. Nice front desk gal. Room was clean. Wasn't bothered by noise. Bed was comfy. Received coupons to get a free breakfast at Denney's which was across the parking lot, super close. There was plenty of parking. Would stay here again.
I normally love best westerns. Reasonable price and good quality is normally what I find at their hotels. Not this one. It is super dated, old run down everything in the rooms. I'm pretty sure there were appliances missing from the room. I stayed at this best western plus because of the plus, you know, but there are literally Motel 6s that are better than this one.
Nice place, great location, amenities can't be beat. Denny's right across the parking lot offers discount dinner and free breakfast. Beautiful interior design, cozy and comfortable, spacious rooms with queen beds.
The location is good here, and the rooms are clean and comfortable. There are lots of dining options in the surrounding area, and we recommend checking for reviews, not asking the staff. This is a good choice for anybody, including families.
The room and facilities were adequate, and the staff was cheery and helpful, BUT the WiFi service for our iPhones was non-existent. We and the staff spent at least 30 minutes trying to logon to each of our iPhones with no success. No solution could be found. Thank goodness my iPad was able to be logged on, but it was little consolation. I understand from the staff that this was not the first time that guests were unable to logon. Please fix your system! We'll be returning for another stay soon and hope to have a better experience.
Everything was as advertised. Spacious room with two bathroom sinks-which is their standard.We got cookies at check in and the bottled water in the fridge was nice too. My teenager loved the pool. The only downfall was that the free breakfast was at the next door Denny's. We had to wait just like at a regular busy restaurant.
Overall stay was fantastic. Customer service was well above what i expected. Had a few minor issues but that appears to be common on hotel stays but management to my surprise made us feel great by reducing are fees even though it was with the restaurant that was are morning breakfast provider. this in itself made us want to come back for another stay Are thanks to Jen the Manager
In 2015 I stayed at this facility and promised myself that I would never come back, but thank goodness I did! The whole place has been beautifully remodeled. The rooms feel very luxurious. The products supplied are high end. The staff are professional and extremely helpful. I would stay here on my own dime, and not just for work!
Great 5 night stay! Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable and breakfast was terrific. Kids enjoyed the swimming in the pool and hot tub. Staff were friendly and helpful. Overall excellent place to stay!
Clean facility. Super comfortable bed. The sheets were soft and very warm blankets. Breakfast was at dennys with a voucher. Great idea. Coffee available at all hours. The pool was nice but can get loud since its all indoor. But overall a great experience
We stayed here for a week while carrying out some work in Salem. The hotel staff are friendly and approachable and the rooms clean and spacious. Breakfast is complimentary from a near by Denny's. There is a reasonably equipped Gym and a nice pool and laundry facilities are available. Overall a nice home from home
Checked in and found dirty clothes in the closet of our “clean room”. Certainly makes you wonder if the room was actually cleaned. In addition, Best Western refused to honor their “low price guarantee”. Won't stay with them again!
this was a nice place to stay. they are biker friendly. the employees made feel welcome. and was willing to help with any and all questions. i felt like it was located in a safe area. there was a couple of resturants in walking distance.
My stay here was great. I was disappointed that the complimentary breakfast was a meal at Denny's across the parking lot but the friendliness of the hotel staff more than made up for that. They were so helpful and accommodating. The in room coffee was great, the room was quiet, the bed was comfortable and all of it together made my stay comfortable and easy.
Our room was very spacious and exceedingly clean. The front desk even had go bags with an apple, cereal bar and water for us when we were leaving.. we were given coupons for a breakfast at the nearby Dennys, however, we wanted to get an early start. Our beds were very comfortable and there was even enough room for my grandsons roll away. I would highly recommend this motel to other travelers.
John greeted me like I was coming to stay in his home. I asked him for a cork screw and he made sure I had a real glass to pour my wine in. As I was coming back from dinner he was greeting a group of Japanese business visitors with cold water and a traditional Japanese bow. This guy is a great representative of your brand!
The Mill Creek Inn-Salem, OR is the second Best Western hotel I have stayed at in recent years (I don't travel much), and the overall quality of the stay was consistent with the experience I had with the BW in Woodburn, OR. I also appreciate the Military discount!
This was the best place wee stayed an enjoyed it immensely We highy reommend the suite which was roomy enough to accommodate all of our family members for a meet and greet comfortably. The pool was a joy. The breakfast options were nicely varied and the Denny staff were very professional.
The finest BW PLUS in the Pacific NW! The best service and the best rooms. large rooms with great parking and a fantastic breakfast at dENNY RESTAURANT in the same parking lot. Fantastic internet service and professional staff make this BW Plus a destination. I'll be back.
had business in Salem and have used this hotel several time in....have used this hotel in the past, and it is clean, efficient and affordable... have never had a problem with it...and always enjoyed the professional staff... on our entry, there had been a mix-up with a third party booking service and the front-desk attendant, Tara, did a remarkable job of clearing up the situation so that my colleague could get to a room after a long day of travel...thank you Tara... it passes my first test...I would gladly return to this hotel when I am working in the area...
My daughter and I were traveling up to Washington and we booked this about 30 mins before we got to Salem. Nice, clean rooms, indoor swimming pool. great location. Free breakfast at the Denny's (across the parking lot) very friendly staff. Overall wonderful stay. If we go there again, we will defiantly stay there.
We were in the area for the Great Oregon Steamup in Brooks, OR. Everyone on the staff was friendly and answered all of our questions. They have a hot chocolate machine and cookies which everyone enjoyed.
The same family that owns this hotel, also owns the Dennys that is right there. The service I received in Dennys, My servers name was Sarah, was excellent. The food was good, up to Denny's standard. The room was very nice and clean and very comfortable. I would recommend this property to anyone travelling through Salem.
From check-in to check-out, we were treated like gold by Manager, John and the staff. We were greeted warmly, educated about local flavor and given cookies on the spot. Anything I asked for was never a bother to them, and they met or exceeded all of our expectations. Rooms were COMFORTABLE, spacious and clean, with homey touches. We didn't have to pay extra to watch TV, the AC was perfect and the indoor pool was fun for my teenagers. It was nice to have a room with a fridge for our waters, but when I opened it, they had already put a couple in at no charge for us. We were given vouchers for free breakfast at Denny's next door as well. Parking lots were well lit and the hotel was pet friendly. In all, I would definitely say that this was the BEST hotel experience I have ever had and I will be back.
This was a good hotel, but not great, not really a BW PLUS. The decor in rooms seemed a bit dated. The lobby was updated. Everything else was good. Staff was happy and helpful. One night, I did see a man going through the garbage right outside the lobby. Sad
Usually, Best Westerns offer a clean place to stay with an acceptable level of wear-and-tear. This one is clean, well-maintained, and has very good furnishings (including comfy, non-lumpy pillows!!!). While you might not want to cancel your reservations at the Ritz in Vancouver for this, you should seriously think about staying here rather than some of the competitive also-rans in this price range. Let's start with the welcome. Two people welcomed me, and the check-in was quick, friendly, and fast. While Best Westerns can sometimes have desk clerks that agonize through reservations made through third parties (I book through AAA), these folks made it a breeze. I also had a nice discussion about places to eat and what to look at during my short stay. The room was well-appointed, clean, and the fixtures were clean, not rusty or corroded, and everything worked. There were USB ports, 120V outlets, and plenty of functioning internet. The beds were nicely adorned with sheets, a comforter, and another decorative half-spread. Four pillows to a bed was nice, and there was a desk, refrigerator, and coffee maker also. While the hotel doesn't offer breakfast, there is a very well-run Denny's in the parking lot. The hotel offers packages with included breakfast that gives the guest six good options, including a full, cooked-to-order breakfast from Denny's (the guest is on the hook for a tip, but that's a deal!). The Denny's is very good, and there's a bar there too if you need one. There is coffee in the lobby that's hot. :) The location is close to the highway and a short hop to downtown and the state offices. If you haven't done a Best Western in a while, try this one!
We set ourselves up in Salem as the base to travel to areas around, including the Columbia River Valley, Newport, Hot Springs, and Salem itself (keep your eyes open for the large sculptures on the walls of some of the buildings). We were there in May 2018. We also did some shopping in major centres around the area, taking advantage of the tax free status of Oregon. The room was excellent, and there were laundry services available. Staff very friendly.
I travel very frequently and this is by far my favorite hotel in Salem! It checks all the boxes: friendly and helpful staff, very clean, and gets all of those nice details in the room right. Someone put very careful thought into the rooms and they really look high end. I so appreciate the amenities as well. I don't think any hotels in Salem come close to the quality you get here. I highly recommend this hotel, and when I come to Salem this hotel will always be my definite go to! Thanks for an awesome stay!!!!
We stay here several times a year to visit family and enjoy the St Paul 4th of July Rodeo. John checked us in and helped resolve a BW points issue, He is awesome by the way. Put us in a room on the 1st floor right where we wanted to be.The hotel has great housekeepers , they are friendly and do a wonderful job cleaning the rooms. Thank you ladies! (that is all I have ever seen there). We shall return when ever we are in town.
We had a king-size Suite. It came with an electric fireplace. There was also a sofa and a desk with chair. This was a really nice place to stay overnight. The Denny's breakfast of course was good. You get several choices. The servings are not huge but I am not a big eater in the morning.
A three floor motel that has the amenities of a great hotel. The coffee bar with quick cappuccino was my first clue this place would be special. John at the front desk was amazing. I think he would do cartwheels for any guest who needed them. Fresh cookies each day, and Leticia, our maid was so sweet and such a perfectionist just making the beds! They leave buttermints and fresh bottles of water in the room each day too. This is a great place. The Denny's across the parking lot is where the free breakfasts happen. They are a well oiled machine on busy Sunday mornings. Sheryl remembered us each of the 5 days we came in for breakfast. Their steaks and burgers are great too! Wonderful people, great location in Salem; you MUST come here!
We chose this particular Best Western due to positive reviews and for their proximity to near by attractions. We came to the Willamette Valley to visit flower gardens and this hotel was just 15 minutes away from most of them. It is also only 10 minutes from downtown Salem and was very close to a great Roth's Market. Our very clean, comfy room was on the quiet third floor. I especially appreciated the extra seating, kitchen bar, and make-up mirror in the bathroom. Breakfast vouchers were provided for the adjoining Denny's.
The pool was large and enjoyable. My kids thought the hotel was fancy from the lobby w/ the spiraling staircase. Beds were comfortable, amenities plenty. Helpful and sincere front desk help. Large room.
This hotel has very high ratings and after staying there I can attest to the accuracy of these ratings. I have stayed in many newer and even more upscale hotels that could learn much from the hotel and housekeeping staff here. Cleanliness is my number one requirement and this hotel has that going for it as well as countless other small touches that made for a special stay. At check in, Brandi and John were efficient and extremely welcoming. John should be on the chamber of commerce staff, as he gave us excellent tips on the area from restaurants to sights. I wish Best Western had a special listing for well managed hotels such as this one ( and again - there are beautiful premier hotels that do not match up to this one so titles and age of hotel do not assure the level of service I am talking about). Bravo!
Big pool, big room. Clean and quiet. Denny's across the parking lot. Awesome. Very close to the freeway too. Hug hottub. Decent coffee. They give you a voucher for breakfast at the Denny. Not bad, hey it was included.
This hotel is 2 right turns off the highway in Salem. Great staff and very clean hotel. The room was spotless. Breakfast option is a voucher for use in the Denny's in the parking lot. Voucher was worth most of the items on the menu and they were more than willing to apply the voucher value to any extras you would choose. This is now my go to in Salem.
This hotel went out of its way to make me comfortable. Cookies upon arrival, mints in the very large room, which also had a table and chairs a large Samsung tv, double sinks and 'real' glasses and cups to use. The room was quiet and the beds comfortable, a great stay.
Room 323, near the elevator, but noise was not an issue. Front desk staff was very friendly and efficient. Very spacious room, 2 Queen beds. Bathroom had a double vanity, very good water pressure in the shower. Bed and pillows were comfortable, no issues there. There is a free breakfast at the Denny's across the street, you can choose from a limited menu. You also get a discount at the Denny's in the evening. The exercise room was small, but had two treadmills, an elliptical, recumbent bike, barbells and a weight machine. It is located in the pool area, so there is a strong chlorine smell, but it is well air conditioned. The hotel is located well, with easy access to the freeway, and only about 10 minutes of downtown. There' s no shortage of restaurants and shopping within a short driving distance. Only minor quibbles are: The towels in the exercise room are VERY rough. The TV seems to have a volume limit, which is nice to avoid bothering the neighbors, but with the AC running, it was hard to hear the TV. The shower has dispensers for body wash, shampoo, and conditioner, as is the current trend. Gave them a try after my workout, and found them very easy to knock off the wall while trying to get them to dispense. Also, the conditioner was near impossible to dispense. Luckily, I had brought my own toiletries.
Travel here often and the staff remembers my name. It is an awesome feeling. Only problem is with breakfast. We can only have one drink. I would like orange juice to go with my breakfast and coffee to drink before and after.
Turn your going away the staff was very helpful and friendly rooms claim best hot water I've ever had didn't run out with all the gassed Gen. The manager was amazing to care of a problem that the other manager couldn't fits but all in all a visit was wonderful would stay there again for stars
The facilities are great, checkin was easy. Had a prepaid reservation in which assigned room was given to another guest. But the staff were very apologetic and worked to get us the type of room that was paid for at the Mill Creek Inn. As a result of the mix-up, discounted my prepaid bill the next morning. Kudos to the night staff.
Location is great and the hotel is one of the best Best Western's we have stayed in. Pets are warmly welcomed at this hotel. Comfortable rooms and great service with a very good pet area for our dogs.
This hotel is undergoing some renovation displacing the front desk to a table in the lobby but that doesn't keep the staff from being very helpful. We got excellent suggestions on nearby brew pubs and restaurants that lived up to the staff's enthusiasm. The room was quiet and comfortable. The temperature was easy to regulate. The bathroom was a little dated but clean. This location was centrally located to the places we wanted and needed to go to so it worked well for us. We would return if we were making another visit to the area.
For 11 years I have stayed at this hotel when in Salem for my work. This week I stayed there for the last time as I am preparing to leave my work and move out of the country. I was sad because I have always liked staying at this hotel. I like the Denny's breakfast because it is so much more pleasant than going into a crowded Hotel breakfast buffet. I like being served breakfast and sitting there and drinking my coffee in a comfortable booth. They have great choices at the restaurant for free for people who stay at the hotel. The room was totally nice every time and the beds were always comfortable. This hotel must go to great lengths to find good staff. I was sitting in the lobby waiting for a friend to visit and I enjoyed interacting with all the staff members. I took two hot baths while I was there and I really appreciated that the water was so very hot. What a relaxing stay!
Stayed here for several days. The staff worked with us to accommodate several family members coming into town for a funeral. The young man at the desk was very friendly and helpful. The free breakfast at Denny's across the parking lot was a big bonus; definitely beats the continental breakfasts at other hotels. Service was great. The only negative comment is that they need to do something about the dispensers they use for shampoo/conditioner/lotion; they really don't work well and your thumbs/fingers get a real workout trying to get some product out.
Very nice place! Hospitable, good service, and they have little things most places don't think about like mouthwash in the room. Gym is great! I used the treadmill and loved it. The pool and hot tub are nice. Breakfast at Denny's allows good choices for breakfast and a good discount for other meals. Thank you for the great stay!
We had had such good experience with Best Western Plus before, especially with regard to having enough room and comfort, that we chose Best Western Plus Mill Creek Inn. When we told our friends in Corvallis where we were staying, they told us that Best Western Mill Creek Inn was Peggy's favorite in Salem when she worked at a job that took her to Salem regularly. I especially appreciate the seating area overlooking the lobby.
I was very impressed with this hotel on a recent stay while passing through. The front counter staff were very friendly and helpful, the room was clean and sizeable, and it even had an indoor pool which the kids and I had a blast in. However, when I looked up the hotel and it said breakfast included, I missed the part where is said it was a voucher to Denny's where you were given a choice of a few items you could choose from. That oversight is on me. I just wish they had a continental style breakfast instead.
I've stayed in numerous hotels across the country and this one has one of the best staff and cleaning services I've seen. During my two-week stay for work, the cleaning staff changed my sheets everyday and always made sure my room was clean and stocked. The front desk staff was also very friendly and helpful. John gave us recommendation on local diners and made us feel welcomed in Salem. If I ever return to Salem, the Best Western Plus will be my top choice!
I left a my sterling sliver ring in the room on exterior sink (outside main bath) area on soap dish. I took it off to put on lotion. Daughter and I checked out and had business in the Salem area. Around 3:ish I noticed my ring was missing from my finger, immediately called the hotel because I remember placing it on the soap dish outside the main bathroom when I put on the lotion from the wall dispenser. Spoke with Monica who had me on hold for over 15 minutes supposedly checking the room and lost/found and with the cleaning staff for the ring. After a 20 minute hold I had to hang up. I called again around 5:30pm to see if they found my ring and Monica said they did not. I returned to the hotel before heading out of town checking one last time, something told me that the staff was not being truthful with me (at the very least not being helpful at all). I went in the lobby, to the room I checked out of and knocked on the door, no one answered even though I was told guest were in the room. Pam met me in the Hallway and asked if I needed help, I said yes, I am looking for my ring left in room ____, we walked to the lobby and I spoke with Monica/Pam (again) who said there was a guest in that room and they couldn't go in to check. I said that was my reason for my first call prior to 3:00pm check-in, had they done it then maybe the ring would have still benn there. I explained that if someone left property in a room I was staying in, I would be happy to let them come and check. Monica left that front desk, I stayed in the lobby, she supposedly went to look in the room, came back and said "no, it isn't there." She informed me that the cleaning staff would have turned it in had they found it. I asked how do you know that for sure? She shrugged her shoulders and I said "Exactly, you don't know." I was treated very rudely and the staff did NOT want to help me and made no effort to recover my ring. I don't know that she checked the room or made any effort. She certainly did not make an effort when I was standing right there.
The room was spacious and clean, despite a strange (urine?) smell that I only noticed when first arriving. The bed and pillows we're comfy, the staff at the front desk we're very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was ok at the Denny's next door, but it was nice that it was included.
After 13 hours on the road, my crew and I were ready for a warm welcoming, hot showers and clean rooms. John gave us a warm friendly welcome which put smiles on all of our faces. He was so easy to talk to and very funny. The over all established was very clean, and they were able to accommodate our two pick up tricks that were pulling trailers. FYI - Some hotels would turn you away. Our room were clean, the water was hot and the remote control (and TV) work perfectly. We highly recommend the BEST WESTEN PLUS MILL CREEK INN, but most of all would like to thank John for being the reason to come back for another visit.
Cynthia, at the welcome desk made me feel happy to be here and to consider being a loyal guest when I visit Salem. Cynthia upgraded my room to a suite at no extra charge. The location is quiet and away from busy roads.
When we walked into our room it smelled like a nursing home. We asked the front desk if we could change to a different room, preferably one that didn't smell like urine and the male indicated that that was the last room on the main level so we were essentially stuck with the room as my husband needs a room on the main level for medical reasons. The male sprayed some disinfectant in the room that although masked the stench, it left us coughing for 15 minutes and made it difficult to breathe without coughing. The male said he couldn't smell urine but stated he smell talcon powder, which it was not. When we woke up the next day, the disinfectant had wore out and it smelled like a nursing home again. I let the gal at the front counter know all of this and all she did was make a face as though to say gross. I asked her to please make a note of it so other guests wouldn't have to go through the same. Will not go back and do not recommend it to others. Positive: the room was clean and the male was friendly and upbeat.
Front desk people are very efficient and friendly. They are knowledgeable about the area and customer needs. Hotel is easy to get to. Very clean and modern. I love the snack bags of granola bar and fruit.
This was the first time for me staying at the Best Western Plus in Salem, OR. The room was huge and the staff was very helpful and friendly even to my dog. I wish I was staying for an additional night, but I had to keep heading north.
We can't for a basketball tournament that weekend and the rooms were booked with these teams! You would have never known there were so many kids there!! Extremely quiet and so very nice and clean!! I'd stay again!
Saying our visit was average is not a bad thing: BW is always clean, has friendly people, and the food is good and filling. I've rarely been disappointed (once) and this wasn't the time. When asked if we had a preference on floors, we choose the top floor, in case there' a view. After noting we are Rewards members, we were offered an upgraded room. Yes, please! Oh, and the beds are SO comfortable! Plenty of space in the rooms, too.
Check in was quick and friendly, room and bed were clean and comfortable. Pool was too cold to enjoy and at 6:30 pm they decided to do maintenance on the spa, should have been done from 11-3 pm when no guests were there. When we were allowed in the spa it smelled so strong of chlorine that it bothered our eyes and nose and we had to leave.They do not serve a breakfast but give you a voucher for the local Dennys where you have a short choice of the motel's choosing. We are vegetarian and could not substitute the pig for fruit or anything else. And having to go out, order, and wait, delayed our departure by 50 minutes. Shampoo dispenser was empty in the shower. No bath mat provided so we called the desk to ask if they have them. They said yes but then brought us more bath towels instead.
1. The pool area! Big windows on three sides, high ceilings, great big pool, large hot tub, big kiddie pool. Sauna. 2. Large rooms -- microwave, fridge, sit up at bar, large lounge chair, desk with chair, plenty of floorspace for that big King bed. Largish bathroom with curved shower bar. Wide hallways. 3. Nice touches -- chocolate chip cookie at check in, bottled water in fridge, and hey! a magnifying mirror in the bathroom. Extra clean pillow and blanket in closet. Lots of mirrors. Attractive lobby with mezzanine seating. 4. Clean. Smells good. 5. Comfortable bed and linens. 6. Gracious staff. 7. Breakfast! A choice of generous hot breakfasts at the Denny's across the parking lot.
Room was clean and in good condition. Staff was very helpful. Breakfast at Denny's across the parking lot included. Easy access from I-5. Several family members all stayed at this location. We would definitely stay here again.
We got into town a bit early and by the time we got to the hotel, it was around 8:30am. We inquired about early checkin and the manager was very helpful (said to call her around 11am and gave me her card with her number). We ended up going sightseeing so didn't need to check in early after all. The fact that she was willing to see what she could do and gave me her card made a distinct, positive impact on me. She then recognized us when we did finally arrive and greeted us warmly. The room was clean and comfortable! I was quite impressed!
We got to our hotel which easy to check in and easy to get to our room. There was something brown on the wall next to the bathroom. We ended just cleaning it up. but yuck! Very disappointed in that we had to walk outside in the windy rainy to go to breakfast. We travel with a 2 year old and didnt want to bring him out in the awful weather if we didnt have to. The breakfast they offered was so small choices that it wouldnt feed our family. They only gave us 2 breakfast vouchers since they assumed 2 year olds dont eat. I wont be staying there.
Lovely hotel, beautifully decorated for the Christmas holiday. John, who checked us in was very helpful. So nice to find a dog friendly hotel that is clean with a nice area for walking them. Also the stay included a breakfast at the restaurant right next door. Will plan to stay there again next trip south.
We enjoyed our one-night stay in this hotel. The room (2 queen beds) was very clean and well appointed. TV, microwave, refrigerator – what we have come to expect so much so that it doesn't seem notable – were all new, clean and working order. There was also a single cup coffee maker and enough supplies for each of us to have two cups of coffee. Now, for the notables: each bed had four pillows (we like lots of pillows) and the housekeeping staff seemed to have taken particular care to ensure that each bed had both firm, medium and soft pillows. Nice touch! The shower had wall-mounted dispensers for shampoo, conditioner and body wash (which makes a lot of sense). The towels were plentiful and very thick – better than I expect for the price of this hotel. John was working the front desk when we checked in and he couldn't have been more friendly or helpful. He gave us vouchers for breakfast, redeemable at the Denny's about 50 feet across the parking lot from the hotel. Also told us Denny's would knock off 15% of other meals when we showed them our room key. This Denny's set up for breakfast seems like a great idea when the restaurant is so close. I'm sure it saves the hotel a lot of money that they would have to spend to set up a complimentary buffet on their own – and the breakfast their guests get is cooked to order. We like and appreciate complimentary breakfast buffets but don't particularly enjoy powdered eggs. (A word about this Denny's: I'm not a big fan of Denny's and haven't been to one in about 15 years, but we were pleasantly surprised by this location. It was clean, clean, clean. The menus were also clean – consistently dirty, sticky menus put me off of Denny's, among other things. We had dinner there after we checked in and both ordered fish. We were really impressed with what a good dinner we had and the service was very good. The wine was horribly over-priced but, oh well. Breakfast the next morning was equally good with friendly service and the waitress happy to take our vouchers. Good for you, Best Western, for this arrangement.) Now, onto the truly exceptional service from BW Mill Creek Inn: We left 16 pounds of luggage in the room when we checked out (each thinking the other had done the “final room check”). When we realized our error (300 miles away) and called John, he couldn't have been more helpful. He said, “Oh, you guys left a ton of stuff! It filled an entire plastic trash bag!” John arranged to have Mick (at A.S.A. Postal) pack it all up for us and FedEx it to us! It arrived the next day and we were surprised by how much we had left (including some hard-to-replace sentimental things and enough other stuff to make the FedEx charge worth every penny). We have stayed other places and left things (never this much) and have never had a staff member make us feel like it was no problem to send the items to us. I was ready for this “you're a real burden to us” attitude when I called Mill Creek Inn and John immediately made me feel like an old friend for whom it would be no problem to help. Thank you, John! I highly recommend this hotel.
This was the cleanest hotel room I've ever stayed in! The employees were all extremley helpful and always cheerful. The room was clean, modern and very comfortable. The pool area was well maintained and stocked plenty clean towels. Check in/out was quick. I would recommend Best Western for a comfortable, affordable stay.
On Christmas morning, the “hot breakfast” as advertised on the Best Western Plus Mill Creek website was a jug of milk on a tray of ice, dollar store packaged pastries, two loaves of bread, and boxed cereal. I chose this hotel over a different hotel because of the hot breakfast advertised, as many businesses would be closed because of the holiday. When I explained this to the manager on staff at 8am on 12/25/18, she reminded me “well it IS Christmas” 6 times, said the hot breakfast was a meal voucher for Denny's which was closed, and told me I was already told this upon arriving. I reminded her I was NOT told this, and Best Western Plus Mill Creek's website did not state the breakfast was at Denny's, they clearly state that they provide a hot breakfast and it was falsely advertised to us and made another hotel lose business for this reason alone. She then laughed at me and said nothing. I said I wanted some kind of refund on my room rate because of this false advertising and that we would now have to miss a decent breakfast as every other business was closed because of the holiday, and I did not pay $120.00 to have cereal on Christmas morning, and was mislead online. She laughed a second time, and said “no, I will not be doing anything for you about this.” And I said “you absolutely cannot do anything about this significant inconvenience? Not even a 10% discount at a future stay?” And she said “absolutely not.” And so I said “then we will not be staying here or any Best Western again.” And she smiled and said “sorry to hear that”.
My first trip to Salem and the staff at this hotel were fantastic. Very helpful and caring. The restaurant is close by and convenient. If you come to Salem I would highly recommend this place. I will be back soon.
I stay at this location frequently. The staff are superb. They are friendly, helpful and exceed the staff I've encountered at most hotels in so many ways! The rooms are comfortable, spacious and updated.
The check-in team of John and the lovely lady (can't place her name), went above and beyond in welcoming us and our family. Customer service was outstanding, as they went above and beyond all expectations. We will definitely return to this Best Western.
We've stayed here in the past,both for business and pleasure.Always a wonderful stay!Clean and great bed! Quick service at the check in desk.Walls are alittle thin,but we'll be staying there again. Thanks!
This was one of the best stays we have had. Nice rooms and a great staff. The spa and pool was perfect. The rooms where spacious and comfortable. We also got a free breakfast at Denny's, bottled water and a coffee bar.
Great service and room. Easy access off I5. Professional, helpful staff. Room was nicely appointed and clean, lots of space. A nice welcome when we checked in. Nice, full breakfast as part of the stay at Denny's next door (which also has great service). I would stay here again. It felt right from the moment we drove up.
went to Albany and Lebanon, even the Premier Best Western was not as good as this one here in Salem, mill creek. I love Josh and the coffee is the best over 10 other places I've had to stay in 30 days
Really enjoyed our stay. Friendly staff that are more than helpful. We also enjoyed that the recreation facilities, they are open early and late engough to enjoy during my business trip. they are pet freindly as well which we really enjoy they are not only our pets but considered family
This is the 2nd Best Western I've stayed at this year in the Salem area and this one is by far better. The only downside - which could also be a good thing depending on your taste - was that you had to leave the hotel, walk across the parking lot and into the nearby Denny's restaurant to have breakfast. Since we were there on a weekend, this also meant standing around in a crowded space for 10 minutes to wait for a table. If you like a quick breakfast, this wasn't too fast. Good news is the food was waaay better than the last BW we stayed at where it was available in the hotel. The Good: * The staff was really helpful and friendly * The lobby was nicely decorated for the Fall season * Rooms were clean * Beds were comfortable * HVAC was quiet * Rooms were quiet - hallway included * Great coffee/hot chocolate options with cookies upon check-in * Pool, hot tub and sauna were all nice The Not So Good * As mentioned above, breakfast isn't in the hotel so it's not too quick * Tiny elevator off the lobby - not a problem for us but might be for others * Not a fan of Direct TV - their remote controls are crap but the TV was nice. * Not within walking distance of anything except the Denny's and Costco Overall, I'd stay here again as the price was good and it was a step up from the BW Plus in Albany.
The Guy who checked us in last night was the most personable desk clerk I have ever had.(I forgot his name, he was working afternoon shift Dec 15,(sorry)) The room was great , the coffee, etc in the lobby is a very nice touch, and the complimentary breakfast at Denny's was nice .The hotel is easy to find. The 12 o'clock checkout is nice as well. I would definitely recommend the hotel, and I would stay again.
This isn't one of the best Best Westerns I've ever stayed at. First off, the staff is friendly and attentive especially Josh and Ashley. They remember you when you come back to stay another night, they are on the ball with whatever I need and making accommodations. The beds are super comfortable! Free bottles of water in the fridge every day, cookies daily and Denny's breakfast vouchers daily. Really hard to beat!
I had a great stay at Best Western Plus Mill Creek Inn. The business was clean and professional. My room was big and very clean. I had an unfortunate incident where the iron in my room malfunctioned and ruined my shirt. i went down to the front desk and was greeted with caring, professional and genuine staff who gave me a new iron right away to take to my room. I was also directed to management the next day who already knew about my shirt, and they took care of it. I know when I come back to stay here, I'm going to get nothing but comfort and quality. I would highly recommend this hotel.
This was a very, very nice hotel! We loved the room set-up. The bathroom was large, with everything you need, including a night light! There is extra room outside the bathroom with another sink, counter & mirror. This area also had the fridge & microwave, a pleasant area for making coffee. There was a solid divider between the bathroom area and the bed, making it much more conducive to sleep. (No bright bathroom light shining in your eyes every time another person gets up to use the bathroom). Brilliant! Tub had a high quality no slip mat, plus well built safety rail. We are in our sixties and beginning to appreciate the little things. The ONLY negative we could find was their choice of cable T.V. as it always automatically came on to CNN! We do not care at all for that station, and every time we turned on the T,V., there it was! Seemed like kind of a scam. We had to waste time finding another station to watch. Otherwise, a perfect stay.
Front desk is top notch, fast, friendly. I travel all over Northwest and hate getting hung up at front desk. It's the worst. But this hotel is super fast and super friendly. Best in Salem. The hotel is decent and is in a good location. Denny's is next door and hotel guest get a discount.
Again this is way worth the money. This is a very nice hotel ... especially for the price I paid for this stay approx. $94 per night for a 5 day stay. The hotel's exterior is nice and appears to be in a good area. The lobby is very nicely decorated and the rooms are done just the same. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who is needing to stay in the area.
I stayed on the third floor of this Inn. First the staff were great. Professional and friendly. They decorated for Halloween and had cookies for everyone. Also helped me find a place for dinner. The room was clean and big. There were two sinks and plenty of supplies. Lighting was abundant and plenty of channels, including HBO, to watch on the television. Plenty of outlets for my computer and mobile phone. It was very quiet, we didn't hear anyone and wondered if we were alone. We were not. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and pillows were soft. I slept soundly and I have difficulty sleeping. They have the free breakfast until 11:00 am in the Denny's at the end of the parking lot. It was yummy. We ordered two extra bowls of blueberry's at only a $1.00 each. Well worth it. Checkout was very simple, again staff was friendly. Parking was plentiful all around the whole building. I also felt this was a very safe area.
Our family was attending a sports event. The hotel lobby is being remodeled but they cleverly used holiday decorations to make it look appealing. The front office was so friendly and the little seating area on the second floor is comfortable and cute. We all enjoyed the coffee bar area and my kids liked the pool. The room was very clean, neat and spacious. I definitely would stay here again. We tend to travel a lot with sporting teams and I would actually try and get a group rate so we could all stay together. That would involve some beforehand planning :).
This is the first time we've stayed at this hotel. It won't be the last. The hotel is clean and comfortable, the location is good and every employee we met was friendly and helpful!! The $20 per night pet fee was very reasonable. We really appreciated the little kitchenette and bar area. As well as the wall-mounted ironing board that was in a mirrored cabinet on the wall, that was a nice change from the usual ironing board taking up space in the closet. The bathroom was a nice size, the towels were great, like new and pretty! The shower head could use an update, but the water pressure was great. The room had a king size bed, a very nice full size recliner and end table as well as a desk and work chair, armoire and a nice big TV. We especially appreciated the fresh remote controls in their little bags, the extra blanket and pillow also in their own bags. I liked knowing those items, especially the remotes had been cleaned between guests! The hotel was quiet and the grounds were well kept. Every morning we received a voucher for breakfast at the Denny's across the parking lot. Can't comment on the pool area, we didn't use it, but I am sure it's every bit as nice as the rest of the hotel! This will be our “home” for our future visits to Salem!
Great clean place for a stop through the state. Room was great, breakfast was at Denny's right next door. Staff was awesome. They made sure my mom had a room in the first floor. The indoor pool was perfect for morning workout.
I travel a lot for work and have stayed in all brands of hotels. Today my experience at the Best Western Plus Mill Creek Inn was outstanding. Jen at the front desk looked up my rewards card seeing how I did not know the number. She checked me in early and add my rewards points after she found my account. Once I got to my room Jen called me to make sure the room was to my liking. After checking with me Jen also let me know she found my account and added my points for me. This has been a great experience.
Really liked this motel and I've stayed in a lot of them. Classy decor, very comfy beds, good insulation, nice overall space, granite counters, frig, microwave and eat at counter. BW has really upgraded their motels. Front desk staff were helpful and personable. Everything worked from light switches to toilets which is unusual for us. So nice to be able to relax when you get into your room. This hotel is quite busy and the breakfast is a coupon for Denny's next door. The restaurant was mobbed on Saturday morning so we just ate at the counter to avoid a 20 minute wait. We'd go back again since it was readonable and a pleasant experience.
Very friendly staff, clean and comfortable room will definately stay here again has all the amenities a traveler needs the hotel grounds are beautiful and we were able to park our car in front of our room
I was in town for a convention and was put up here by the company I have not stayed here before but it was very easy to find the front desk staff were very very friendly and this hotel was very clean the rooms were very nice large good internet the room itself was very clean small amenities that make you feel like home such as mince mouthwash.... It's always nice to have just those small things and not have to ask would definitely stay here again if I was in town rooms as I said we're very nice spacious and the bathroom was bigger than normal not huge but add a little more space than a normal Hotel
Convenient location, across from Costco & next to Denny's (which is where you get the provided breakfast). Coffee service was appreciated. Very clean property. Friendly staff. Only problem was weak shower pressure.
To start Cynthia at the desk is awesome! Very nice and smiles the whole time. Been here several times and she is always great. The rooms are decent and clean. Shower/tub could use some updating but clean! Pool, hot tub, sauna all decent.. and really pretty clean. Free breakfast at Denny's next door included.. if you like Review is based on type of hotel and location.. this is a good spot
When we checked in we were asked which floor we would like to be on, which is a first for me. Usually we are told which floor. Everyone was friendly, professional and there was not an issue that was not resolved for us, i.e., we needed a corkscrew and front desk had one for us. The room was huge, comfortable and the in-room refrigerator was very helpful. We would recommend this motel and would definitely stay here again!
I chose this place to stay over after reading all the positive reviews here. I was to had a great experience. The room size is huge, having the two vanities in the bathroom is so helpful when traveling as a family. Needs are comfy and cookies are yummy. We had everything we needed for our stay and would choose this hotel next time we are traveling through. Only concern is the lack of exhaust vent in the bathroom, it gets so steamy and there so much moisture... No mildew yet but probably needs to be addressed, other then that, perfect stay.
good location, easy access to the I-5 freeway, excellent friendly staff, good sized clean, quiet and comfortable rooms. This facility checks off on all I am looking for when on a road trip. Nice indoor pool and hot tub too.
Arrived after traveling 200 miles and two golf courses. Was greeted warmly by check-in staff. Given a beautiful room with lots of space. Costco is right across the road, so i could fill up on gas at a reduced rate. Denny's right there to have a good meal. After dinner, sat on a very comfortable recliner to read and almost fell asleep. In the morning, my bill was under to door, so I didn't have to check out. Went across to Denny's for my free breakfast, then on my way.
First the hotel is easy to get to, in a good area, stylish, super clean and super comfy! The staff was friendly and check-in and out was speedy. There were many little things that we didn't expect but appreciated. First thing we noticed was the area for coffee/fridge was set up like a mini kitchen with a sit-at countertop. Nice to have the separation from the sleeping area. In the bathroom we liked the dispensers for lotion, shampoo, etc. No more trying to squeeze out of the little bottles, or not having enough. Also in the bathroom was the make-up remover, shower cap and make-up mirror. The main room was spacious with plenty of room for all of our "stuff". Furnishings included the king bed, desk w/ chair, comfy accent chair and 2 dressers. Other things we noticed but didn't use were the recessed ironing board and extra bedding. This hotel will be our #1 choice when in the area!
From providing cookies at check-in, to complimentary bottles of water, hot coffee (and cappuccino) and a breakfast at Denny's nearby, the amenities provided here were unexpected and very welcome. Our room was clean, bright and comfortable. Will definitely use and recommend this location when visiting again!
I'm usually on Salem twice a year. When I'm in town, the Best Western Plus Mill Creek Inn is my choice. Hand on and off the freeway; decent , accommodating staff; great beds; quiet rooms; excellent pool and spa; decent workout area; office space; and breakfast is available at Denny's across the parking lot Great, comfortable place for one or any number of nights.
Salem was a great place to stay. Would have been nice to stay longer. Best Western was great with friendly staff. Pool was big and the kids loved it. Hot tub was enjoyable too. There is no restaurant at the hotel so Dennys it is, across the parking lot. Was good. Vouchers for a selected complimentary breakfast and 15% off other food.
We like the convenience, rooms, and service. Great value and outstanding staff service. The Denney's next door is very convenient and the hotel provides vouchers for free breakfasts at Denny's. Always fresh coffee available and each room has a coffee maker, microwave oven, and refrigerator.
The rooms were clean and the staff was friendly. The coffee they had in the lobby was great. I would recommend this hotel to family/friends and would definitely stay here again when I come back to Salem.
Just a drop-in for the one night. Got a discounted rate. Room on the 3rd floor. They do have an elevator. GREAT Room! Large with everything! Good lighting. Lots of pluses: ironing board in wall cabinet. Double sized closet. 2 sinks, one in the bath and one outside. Lighted makeup mirror on the wall. The toiletries include makeup wipes, mouthwash, shower caps, with dispensers in the tub/shower for shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. One thing missing is electrical outlets on the night stand. One outlet on the lamp stand on the desk. Fortunately we carry and used a power strip to charge our electronics. Not very quiet for a top floor. We usually retire at 10 pm, however there were kids running up and down the hall banging doors. Next door bathroom & closet doors banging, dropping things so hard on the floor my bed shook. Finally at about 11:15 pm it stopped. I did sleep well after the noise quit and got up late. Checked out was easy, they emailed my bill. Fortunately they have the free breakfast until 11:00 am in the Denny's at the end of the parking lot. Best Free Breakfast ever!
Me and a friend stayed here. Room with 2 queen beds. 3rd floor - very quiet. All the amenities you expect and great staff. The breakfast at Denny's is good - you get a limited choice but I thought it was fine. Plus, you get 15% off other meals there by showing you room key. It cost less than $10 to/from the Salem Amtrak station... And about that to get to the capital building...good location.
I was very pleased with my stay here. It was clean, cozy, and well supplied with amenities. It was also very up to date. Who needs a Holiday Inn Express, when you have this as an option. I would definitely recommend to anyone traveling through the area.
Stayed here 5 nights for my Wifes Birthday. Breakfast is included across the parking lot at Dennys. Very clean, quiet rooms and very friendly staff. Ashley was amazing and very helpful!! Can't wait to go back!
Friendly and informative staff, comfortable room and bed. Nice touches like nightlight in bathroom and lighted magnifying mirror. No in-house breakfast but free breakfast voucher at Dennys next door with plenty of choices.
Spent one night during a long road trip. Very nice spacious room and comfortable beds. Breakfast was across the parking lot at a Denny's. The items were limited on the voucher, but our plates were very good. Cocktail lounge was very convenient the night before.
Well located with very friendly staff and very clean rooms. Will be happy to stay there again when the time comes. Great amenities with a restaurant just next door. Very convenient location. We travel a lot for pleasure and this is one of the better locations.
We've stayed in five places in Salem and this one's the best. It's a much better deal than the one listed as #1. Best Western Plus Mill Creek has large rooms, a good breakfast, a nice pool and lots of parking. Staff members were friendly and professional. We got cookies and water, and extra towels. The breakfast is at Denny's -- not ordering from the menu but from five choices for hotel guests -- a good variety and large serving sizes. (We ate there five consecutive mornings and had enough choices not to be bored.) Our room had two sinks and looked like it had been redecorated fairly recently. Costco's across the street and Walmart is a 3-minute drive away (with Kohl's and some fast food options). I-5 is a two or three minute drive away.
Best Western saved our night! We had booked and quickly found out after check in that our other hotel was disgusting! We called Best Western (our normal go to on trips to Disneyland) and they had an available room for the night. John quickly booked us into a room and we checked out of the other hotel (almost ran) and made our way to the Best Western Plus at Mill Creek. John was at the desk and checked us in with no problems, he empathized with our circumstance and even gave us extra cookies (ummm...everything gets better with cookies). Our room was clean, stocked with complimentary water, and was secure with an entrance inside the building. The king bed was amazingly comfortable and large enough for my sister and I to share comfortably as a last minute option. Great water pressure in the shower and the papaya soap was a nice surprise. When we ordered pizza the front desk called to confirm we had ordered before sending the delivery guy down to our room. Breakfast is a choice of items at the Denny's next door. Good selections from eggs, toast, sausage, bacon, hash browns and if you'd prefer French toast, pancakes or an egg white option and even an oatmeal option. And if you don't get enough coffee at breakfast, grab a cup for the road in the lobby and some hot chocolate for the kids (or you if you'd prefer).
We were up in Salem for my cousin's wedding. We chose this Best Western Plus as it was close to the wedding. We were very pleased with our stay. The staff was extremely friendly, the hotel was clean and the grounds were well-groomed. There was plenty of parking. Even though it was in the mid-90's during our stay, the hotel was kept at a comfortable temperature and the in-room A/C was awesome! Breakfast is at Denny's next door (apparently owned by the same person), and while the menu was limited, the food was good and fresh. Highly recommend.
Looks good from the outside but don't be fooled. Very dated inside, need new carpets that don't smell, even some fresh paint. People are smoking just outside so don't leave your window open, smoke will join you. NO onsite bar or café. I don't know how this could be considered a "Plus" hotel. Sunday night for two, $161, not worth the price. Maybe $75 would be more like it. At least they give you breakfast coupons for Denney's
Welcoming staff, nice rooms, decent beds. Breakfast at Denny's and coffee in the lobby. Pool and jacuzzi was delightful as well. What else can you ask for? I'm not sure but I'm just writing cause I need 200 characters in my review... lol
This hotel exceeded our expectations! When we walked in we were greeted very kindly! Every staff member we spoke with was very polite and helpful. We received vouchers for the Denny's to have breakfast. Our room was very clean and had very comfortable beds and pillows. They have a small fitness center and have a pool and a kiddy pool. Also 2 sauna rooms and a hot tub. We will definitely be staying here again on our next trip to Salem!
Stayed with family for two nights while visiting my sisters. The hotel itself is a little older looking but very clean and had beautiful pictures of local landscapes etc which I loved. The rooms were very large and spacious for me and my three children. Everything was in nice working order. The pool there was wonderful. It has a large pool, a smaller shallow pool for smaller kids and hot tub with plenty of clean towels, seating and high ceilings. The only drawback is that breakfast is not served in the building rather vouchers are given for the Dennys adjacent to the hotel. I like Denny's though and we had a really funny server the second day so I didn't really mind. I would stay here again.
Excellent hotel. Very clean. Very comfortable. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Jen checked me in and made sure everything was perfect. Went out of her way to make sure I had everything I needed. Would recommend this hotel and will definitely stay again.
Unfortunately, we didn't get to enjoy the pool (which looked really nice) as we got here late and left early. The lobby is very nice, the rooms too. We brought our dog so appreciated the pet friendly room and the grounds outside to walk him. Breakfast at Denny's was good. Would definitely stay here again.
Our room was clean and comfortable. The bed was great. I booked this hotel on it's reviews and that it has breakfast included. The breakfast is at a Denny's in the same parking lot. And you are limited to just a few choices. We got some recommendations for breakfast restaurants from the front desk along with a couple of personal reviews from the desk clerk. We took his advice and found a really great place. My review for the hotel & staff is 5 stars, the provided breakfast took it down one. Hotel buffet breakfasts are better than the Denny's selections provided.
This was one of the best hotels I have stayed in. Hotel was very nice and well appointed. The highlight of my stay was one of the clerks. Both my was a true jewel. He was friendly, very helpful of surrounding destinations and directions. Funny funny man The rest of the staff was great also. Would stay again and again.
This hotel has a great location for visitors unfamiliar with the area. Easy access to I-5. Comfortable rooms, nice amenities, & welcoming staff. Having a restaurant next door is convenient. Housekeeping did a great job during our stay & were very accommodating with our requests.
We arrived early 2:30 pm and asked Jen at the front desk for advise on dining. She sent us to Gamberetti's which has outdoor dining overlooking a quiet park with a stream running through it. She was a skilled multitasker talking on phone, checking us in, advising on dining and tv remote operation. Amazing talented lady! The weather was a perfect 76 and the food and service was excellent. Our room was immaculate, comfortable, quiet with all the amenities you would expect in a Best Western Plus. Jen made us reservations for our next destination and is a great asset to the Mill Creek Inn.
Great location, Great price, excellent customer service, comfortable clean rooms, great pool. DO NOT EAT AT DENNIES! The restaurant is the reason this place is not getting a 5 star. The hotel owns the restaurant so you would think that they would staff it accordingly but no. I took my family there last night around midnight to eat because we got in late. We waited 45 minutes for a table and then another 20 minutes to be waited upon and another 30 minutes to get our food. The place was not very busy and understaffed. Our food was cold and super hard and tasted horrible. I have never seen so many tweeters employed at one establishment. I'm not sure about mid days or mornings but I can tell you this is not a family friendly restaurant at night and there is no way my family and I will be returning. Now the hotel on the other hand is great and we will be more than happy to stay here again.
I would definitely stay here again. First it's a lovely hotel, very nicely done, well kept up, clean, and a real luxury feeling to it. The hotel was having trouble with their WATER, and you should call ahead to make sure the water is working again, it had a city wide restriction for certain populations, which meant some of us couldn't shower or use the water to brush our teeth. They provided bottled water and were very helpful overall. Staff was great. We got room 217 which was fantastic, it housed all 5 of us, and it wasn't cheap, but it was roomy and really wonderful. I didn't get to use the hot tub or many of the amenities. The fitness room was closed to our kids who are 16/15, which was a disappointment to be honest, that rule probably should be relaxed. But at any rate, it was a really good stay!
Very comfortable and clean and we'll kept. Highly recommend. Worth every penny. We stopped for an overnight stay while traveling and this turned out to be our favorite hotel of the trip. Good location.
I spent 5 nights here. The room was spacious and clean but the klennex was never replaced and I had to get a new box at the desk. Breakfast was at Denny's and it was ok, but could have been more choices
The staff were kind to my family. The breakfast was exceptional, the cleaning staff were great too and above all it was reasonably priced per night. I will be staying here next time I am in Salem.. ..
I stayed here on business for a couple nights during the week. The room was spacious, clean, and quiet. However, the refrigerator would make a single "tink" sound every 15 -20 minutes when the compressor would turn off/on and it woke me up several times both nights. For the complimentary breakfast, they send you across the parking lot to Denny's. I only ate there one morning and the experience was not good.
The one drawback is that, for the free breakfast you have to go across the parking lot to Denny's. As a business traveler, I don't have that much time in the morning. A breakfast buffet in the hotel would be much more convenient. I didn't even try the Denny's breakfast because it would have taken too long.
The hotel and room was very clean! The staff at the desk was very kind and helpful. They offer a voucher for breakfast at the Denny's restaurant next door, only thing is we had to wait for a table and it's not completely free because you have to tip. I would prefer a continental breakfast at the hotel which would be more convenient and totally free.
The staff was friendly and professional the Hotel was clean inside and out. I felt very safe in this location and comfortable compared to other hotel stays in this area. Quick access to the highway, and next door to Costco. The hotel location is quiet and feels very private.
We love staying at Best Westerns, but this one is by far our favorite! The staff is very friendly and helpful! We will be staying here again! We travel a lot and the rooms at this Best Western were the cleanest we have seen. Thank you for a pleasant stay!
A big thank you goes out to the staff at the Best Western Plus Mill Creek Inn. I stayed at this location for a month during some training I attended. The staff was always courteous and helpful! My room was always clean and I never needed to worry about anything I might need. They even helped me stay in a room where the bed was comfortable for me. the front desk staff was very helpful and if I did come to them with an issue, the issue was resolved immediately! Great job to all the team! Please share this with your team. S. Kellis
Booked this location as family was already staying here for the willamette graduation. Got the last two rooms. What a pleasant surprise! Front desk staff was super helpful and friendly. Their genuine enthusiasm for their work shines through. The shuttle guy was super sweet and it was such a nice perk. Denny's..... they are a wee bit disorganized and slow but I'll let that pass as it was Mother's Day weekend and graduation weekend. Pool was perfect and super clean. Would definitely recommend this location.
Went to Willamette University graduation in Salem. The room was a little above average ( loved a sink in the bathroom and one right outside the bathroom). The staff was outstanding. Received a voucher each morning for breakfast ( with limited menu) at Denney's next door. Nice touch.
I was treated very badly by the front desk morning lady and I heard noise all night long and didn't sleep hardly at all due to the noise and terribly uncomfortable bed and Lisa the manager did not care one bit or offer any thing for my troubles. Now that's poor customer service. I would not stay here again that is for SURE.
This is a great place for road-tripping families. Good location, clean and spacious. Laundry facilities and indoor pool (with towels supplied at the pool) were a hit with all the kids (range 8 - teen). Nice breakfast. The customer service was excellent, especially, the front desk receptionist, John. Great attitude, friendly, courteous and most importantly, focused on customer needs. It really set the tone for our stay (2 nights). Definitely would go back.
Pleasant check-in staff (with cookies!) Plenty of parking. Large room with king bed, desk, recliner, frig, microwave, bar with 2 stools, good lamps. Decent towels & pillows. Wooded area out back was good for walking our dog. Quiet at night, considering the size & nearby roads. 15% off for dinner at Denny's and breakfast at Denny's included.
I was there on business for two nights. Hotel has a decent size pool for a small hotel. Workout room has treadmills, small stationary bike, elliptical bike, small hand weights, bottled water for your refills, TVs, and was clean. Breakfast voucher for next door Dennys, they offer breakfast bag to go, 24hr coffee with flavors in lobby, free bottled water in the inroom fridge, microwave in the room. Clean, very clean! Bed comfortable, rooms big in size, and has enough towels and shampoo,etc. First night plenty of hot water in shower. Next two mornings, luke water at best. The hotel was full, not sure if that played a role in the lack of hot water. Thin walls, but I only heard any noise if I was walking past a room. No issues when I was in my own room.
Best Western Mill Creek Inn staff are the best! They remember your name, greet you with a smile, and provide service that is above and beyond. They do everything possible to accommodate any request and are glad to do it. They offer concierge tips for events, places to see, restaurants, and shopping. Bravo to a stellar staff!
Lisa the sales manager is wonderful! She was so helpful and knowledgable. Everyone there greeted me with a smile, from the front desk staff to the cleaners. Great place to stay, clean and comfortable.
My husband and I always stay here when we're traveling through the area. The bed is awesome and we get a great night's sleep here. The front desk staff was very generous with their freebies upon arrival and departure. Thank you!
the rooms were nice and clean, the staff was very helpful. the tv didnt want to work but the staff spent about an hour and got it working. I didnt like that the only way to get breakfast was to go to the dennys next door and had to eat it there. would liked to have been able to get it and take it back to the comfort of my room.
The Hotel was clean and the staf was very friendly at check in and at check out. The hotel has easy access to other amenities I look for when traveling. Easy access off of the free way. A very nice place to stay and not over priced
Best Western Plus Mill Creek Inn is the best choice in Salem for anyone who isn't looking for a romantic experience (roses, chocolates and turn down service). I've stayed in several BW properties, and this is one of the best. Sink in the bathtub/toilet area, and one outside. Breakfast next door at Denny's, but they also have Grab 'n Go bags for those of us who don't have time to sit down. Consistently friendly and helpful staff, clean rooms, and an elevator. Oh, and next door to Costco, and close to shopping. You can't go wrong.
The Best Western Plus in Mill Creek Inn was just what I needed. While I was only there for 6hrs, I felt really welcomed. The front desk staff were helpful and friendly. The coffee was good (I wish the cups were a little bigger). I was pleasantly surprised to find little to go bags with a few items granola bar, piece of fruit and water. If I had not slept in, there was the option for breakfast at Denny's (same parking lot) as their continental breakfast. Also as a single female who arrived late, I felt safe arriving. My bed was comfortable and they had this great smelling soap. I would stay here again.
In the AAA book it states that this hotel has a full breakfast - not true!!! They give you coupons for breakfast at a Denny's which is across the big parking lot. The coupons give you a limited choice of what you can order - not much choice and no changes or substitutions! It was pouring rain when we were there and we had to slog through some nasty weather to get to breakfast. The room was fine and had a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee pot. I wouldn't recommend this one, however, because of the lack of breakfast.
After driving for two days I stopped here for a much needed reprieve. Friendly staff that took my reservation on the phone put me in a room close to everything. Free breakfast at Denny's that was way better than most continental freebie breakfasts I've been subjected to. Their pool and fitness rooms are nice and open 6a-10p. They have laundry facilities as well. If you're having to stay in the PNW during winter or really anytime this is a great spot. Oh and they even had a complimentary toothbrush for me as I dropped mine in a Starbucks bather and that was that!
We have been staying at the Best Western Mill Creek Inn for the past 5 years, since our #2 daughter began attending Willamette University. We have always been very pleased with all aspects of our stays. Starting with location, then friendliness and service of the staff in person and on phone calls, to the cleanliness of the rooms, grounds and facilities. We will continue to make the Mill Creek Inn our choice of places to stay when we are in the area.
We were greeted by a friendly & helpful associate at check-in. Rooms are spacious with nice in-room amenities (e.g. Seattle's Best coffee). The only suggestion in our room is for housekeeping to refill the liquid soap dispenser in the shower) - minor issue. Rooms are clean & comfortable, & love the location near Willamette U. The only "issue" we had was with Denny's where the free breakfast is offered with the hotel stay. It took nearly 30 mins. to get our food after ordering, & the food wasn't hot when it arrived. The server didn't return to offer coffee refills, or to check on our meal. Our server did tell us our "order was lost," hence the delay. Not sure why it took 30 mins. to cook/serve bacon & fried eggs & yogurt/fruit though. Overall, BW+ is a great hotel & we'll return on our next trip to Salem.
Comfortable room and good bed. Denny's breakfast in the morning was a nice start to the day. Staff at check in were very friendly and helpful. Third floor was quiet as recommended which we appreciated
I came down for the DPO Platform Convention and thought that my reservation was for Saturday evening since I didn't even arrive till after the Saturday meeting. To my surprise, my Hotwire Hot Deal scheduled me to arrive Friday instead of Saturday. Not the hotels fault, but fortunate they had a room (I have to try to see if I can get a credit) anyway I got a King room and it was very nice, safe since I was traveling alone, and VERY comfortable bed! It exceeded my expectations and had an incredible night sleep so that I was bright eyed and bushy tailed for Sunday's plenary section. I enjoyed my free breakfast at Denny's.Thank you Best Western staff you were great and very helpful! I will forever enjoy my disposable wine opener ??! I hope I'm able to get my Hotwire credit since they don't allow for a phone number to contact guests for confirmations.
We arrived late in the evening after a long stressful day of driving and a reservation at a different hotel being mixed up-- but John at the front desk was kind, friendly, and instantly put us at ease. He went above and beyond, even asking if we had eaten dinner yet and offering his recommendation for a couple near by places to eat. The room was spottless and bed was very comfortable. Overall great hotel experience and wonderful employees all around.
pleasant hotel decent room and bath good location, just off the interstate BUT! Had a bad experience that was not resolved and not followed through. Stayed here this week, first morning ran out of hot water half way thru shower informed the front desk, they said sever rooms reported same,came in latter in the day and was told hot water fixed got up the second and last morning, no hot water again! informed the front desk and they said the problem was fixed the day before, I asked did they check my room, they said they checked some but not sure about mine I ask that the general manager make an adjustment to my bill I have not heard from the general manager of anyone else. found the situation disappointing, unresolved, a bad start to my day, and a bad taste about the property. I would not stay here again. ALL BE WARE!!!
Convenient to downtown was really the biggest perk. We stayed 3 days and did not sleep very well. Beds were average, extremely noisy you can hear people in the halls slamming doors, we could hear everything above us. I was looking forward to staying there and was disappointed with rooms. It was definitely not worth the $142 a night! Next trip I will be booking a Bed and Breakfast!!
This is a beautiful place to stay, the rooms are very clean and spacious with tons of USB ports and spots to plug in. The hot chocolate and coffee machine in the lobby was a nice added bonus.. John at the front desk was AWESOME, very friendly, inviting and knowledgeable, you can tell he loves his Job and goes above and beyond to make each person feel welcome as they walk through the doors..
Hotel was clean and comfortable. There is a Denny's opposite where you get breakfast with a hotel token. The only problem was a cold first night - the heater is too loud to use. However for my second night I asked for a second blanket and it was fine. WiFi is good. Staff extremely welcoming.
I am a Best Western Rewards traveler, so I've stayed at many Best Western properties, and this one ranked at the top. I was traveling from Washington to California and just needed a place to stay for one night. I was greeted by a very energetic friendly man, who made me feel very comfortable. The parking was plentiful, and easy to find a safe, well lit spot. I had a large 2 queen bedroom on the 3rd floor, that had the usual much appreciated Best Western in room coffee maker, refrigerator, microwave, and hairdryer. There was also a table with 2 chairs, PLUS a desk with chair, large flat screen TV, and a window that actually opens!!! There were 2 vanities, one in the bathroom and one just outside of bathroom, which is my favorite layout. The tub shower had shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel dispensers....I love this because of reducing waste (I am from the "green state")...no recycle bins in the room..??..thought that was strange...until I stayed at another Best Western in Oregon and they didn't either... The bed was super comfy, sheets were soft, and had a much nicer blanket than many other hotels that have a heavy scratchy blanket. I used the hot tub in the morning, the pool area is great! Looks like plenty of room both inside and out. Finally the complimentary breakfast in the morning is Denny's located in the parking lot. I normally don't eat at Denny's, but fresh pancakes and OJ in the morning was a nice surprise. On a side note, I'm very quiet in my room, keep my TV low, and walk softly not to disturb other travelers, so unsure why the people staying below me had their loud exhaust fan on the entire time I was there...not a complaint at all about the hotel, it was just annoying.... I highly recommend this property, you won't be disappointed.
Listen, you just can't miss with this hotel. Easy on and off the interstate; very nice professional staff; good looking place when you arrive and walk in the lobby. The room was big, with comfortable beds, big bathroom. Everything was clean. The hotel was full, no vacancy, but very quiet and good parking. Nice pool, sauna, and work out room. Hotel is within walking distance to Costco. We will stay there again and recommend this place to our friends and family.
Best Western Plus has on one time after another has satisfied my last minute requests. They have delivered again and again. After traveling a considerable distance to Salem and to have a reliable, efficient, and friendly person that I can rely on every time. Ashley in particular, has accomadated my last minute needs for one, two, and sometimes even a three night last minute three night stay. Call it luck, I call it extreamly good customer service. Big thanks Ashley. ;)
I'v stayed at a lot of hotels over the years and I'd just like to say the stay here is one of the best. Originally had a reservation at another hotel across the street and decided to cancel and come to BW because there was better parking and it was an awesome decision! The staff was beyond friendly, the rooms are immaculate, and they even provide breakfast from Denny's located in the same parking lot. I am truly overwhelmed with the outstanding experience we are receiving! Thank you BW + Mill Creek Inn, we will most defiantly be back! P.S. I haven't concluded my stay here and I felt so compelled to express my sincere gratitude!
This was a pleasant hotel. Very quiet. The staff was courteous and helpful. Nice amenitie. Breakfast was next door which was convenient. There was coffee and hot chocolate in the lobby. Plus cookies s chec in.
Hotel staff were consistently very friendly. Room was large, clean and comfortable and location convenient walk to Costco, Walmart, Lowe's. Pool is huge with a smaller kiddie pool and hot tub. So the hotel itself would get five stars, if it weren't for the Denny's breakfast: My only complaint, and I shared this with front desk staff, is the breakfast at Denny's. We ate there two days and the Friday, the service was good, the food okay (can't Denny's get eggs right?). On the Saturday our food was lukewarm, the eggs barely cooked, and our waitress ignored us once she took our orders and brought our food, even pouring coffees all around us, but passing by us. Maybe they think the hotel guests won't tip, so why bother giving good service. The third day, we didn't bother going to Denny's.
We stayed overnight for a volleyball tournament. The rooms were nice, clean and reasonably priced. Breakfast is next door at Dennys which is included in the room fee and was very nice. Great way to start the day.
We were “greeted” by a woman in an arm cast after she finished her phone call by downcast looks and snarled lip. Only after proving that I indeed had a reservation did she almost smile at us as she tossed two wrapped cookies in our direction. We were given two meal vouchers for Denny's and told that they also offered discounts to hotel guests, later when I asked why only two vouchers for four occupants I was told that she'd only seen two of us. I explained that I was traveling to PDX to pick up the others which was why I had stated our occupancy as four and not two. A two occupancy has a lower nightly rate, not the rate I had paid. The pool and hot tub area was quite nice and open. I believe the tall ceiling would help with echo that often occurs with indoor pools, we had the area to ourselves so no opportunity to test that thought. Shower pressure was inconsistent as was temperature. Beds were firmer than most I've slept in. Breakfast at Denny's was slow and nothing like a regular customer. Wishing I would have made a different hotel choice!
After checking two other hotels in the area, we were very pleased to find the Best Western Mill Creek Inn. Their facilities were clean, comfortable and spacious. The pools were clean and well-kept. John at the front desk was amazing! He was Upbeat, humorous and, knowledgeable. He anticipated our needs. He needs to be cloned and placed at all establishments with customer service! Well done!
This property is great for our family anytime we find ourselves needing to stay the night in the Salem area. The king suite is great for space and always clean. Pool area is perfect. Staff is friendly. One area for improvement is the DVD rental library...but all in all very happy with our stay.
This place is fantastic, from check in to the rooms. The best Best Western I have had the pleasure of staying at. The staff are great, the pool is nice . I will definitely stay here if in Salem area!!
We weren't able to check in until late after a long day of travel but John was working the front desk and made what is normally a routine experience into one we wanted to acknowledge. He went out of his way to make it interesting. Once inside the room we found the remote in a protective sleeve to keep it sanitary. If a hotel is going to do something unusual like like on such a minor detail, it speaks volumes to me about how they want their guests to feel. The room was great, especially for the price, and having a free breakfast at Denny's is a nice touch. Kudos to the management of this hotel.
It was very Clean. Helpful Staff at entrance. clean room. comfortable bed. The pull and Hot top was very clean and perfect. We had a bedroom with two queen bed. Totally recommend this hotel. The pull and Hot top was very clean and perfect.
I love breakfast and when the hotel gave coupons for a free breakfast, I was elated. Not only a great breakfast but the hotel is reasonably priced (senior discount), clean, friendly and the rooms are large with great beds.
Great hotel, with good location, nice pool and jaccuzi I've been here three times in the last year and have enjoyed each stay. The hotel is always clean, rooms are ready on arrival. The lobby always looks great.
This room was over the top. John the night manager upgraded our room to a king and it was so lovely. The bathroom had a lighted magnifying mirror, not what I expected from a Best Western. The beds are always comfy. The room even had a recliner. It was the perfect setting to relax and rewind. Love love love this hotel
This is one of the nicest Best Westerns we've stayed at. We travel between Washington and California yearly, and usually stay at different Best Western hotels. After a long day's drive our check in experience was very welcoming. Great staff. This BW is an excellent value!
Spent 4 nights here over Christmas to visit family. First time staying here and it was pleasant with nice facilities. No complaints and would stay here again. Great location and friendly staff. Rooms were nice but hallways were a tad creaky on 1st floor.
I was so grateful to have a quiet, comfortable room with easy access to hwy 22. My mom and I had stayed at la Quinta across the street and the quality of the best western was heads and shoulders above la Quinta, which surprised us since we had previously had good experiences with other la Quinta hotels.
We have stayed at the Best Western Mill Creek Inn before and have had no complaints. On December 9, 2017 upon checkout we asked the front desk to mail a stamped/addressed card out for us (gift card enclosed) to a local address and personally handed it to the front desk associate. As of today 12/27/17, that card has not been received. We called the hotel and asked the front desk if it was possible it could be laying around some where, however we were never asked what the name & address was on the envelope, was on hold for I guess a suitable amount of time while they looked for it! We were out west for two weeks on vacation and mailed several cards out, the only card NOT delivered was the one handed to the Best Western employee! Just a Christmas card with a gift in it to some but a trust issue to others!
Our room was clean and comfortable, and staff was friendly and helpful. Our first night was pretty noisy from the room above us. There was loud stomping and running noise until after 11 PM, and it started again at 5 AM. I suspect the flooring-ceiling intersection is not well insulated for noise. This dropped my rating for the overall stay significantly.
Allowed to check in early & that was really nice. Receptionist was professional and made us feel very welcome. Lobby was nicely decorated & very clean, tree was beautiful. Hot apple cider in the lobby was delicious & great welcome on a cold day.
I love this Hotel. John is one of the front desk employees and he makes you're stay pleasurable. He is always willing to help in some way.. Worth the money! clean and comfortable. They offer breakfast at Denny's and it's in the same parking lot. It's a full hot meal. Also if you don't have time for breakfast they have grab bags for you to take , with fruit, breakfast bars and bottled water.
I had a great time staying here and will absolutely recommend it to everyone, whether it is for business or leisure time solo or with your family. I would have enjoyed my staying a lot more if I was not sick due to the change of weather.
They have the Christmas Spirit. Beautifully decorated. My Salem Or 1st choice for 15 yrs. Always clean, quiet. Complimentary coffee, tea or hot chocolate 24 hours a day. Breakfast coupon for Dennys, right next door. Just wave your keycard by the lock for easy access.
This is a very nice hotel ... especially for the price. The hotel's exterior is nice and appears to be in a good area. The lobby is very nicely decorated and the rooms are done just the same. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who is needing to stay in the area.
Overall a great experience. Sauna and pool room going through a redecorating. floor in sauna covered in sanded paint, is what it looked like. I have stayed here in the past and will stay again for both business and pleasure.
We enjoyed the hotel, very pet friendly with large dog walk area right behind hotel. Friendly and accommodating staff. Denny's restaurant in the parking lot with free breakfast for hotel guests. We would stay here again
We stay at this Hotel almost every time we travel back from California to Washington. Very Friendly staff and love the Denny's it has partnered with for breakfast. Hotel is close to Highway five with easy access. Plenty of places to eat close by. The Staff gives good recommendations.
I had a great experience at the Best Western in Salem. The staff was friendly and eager to help with dinner recommendations. The room was extremely clean, didn't have an odor (as I have experienced in past hotels), and had all of the free amenities that one needs (water, internet and cookie).
We arrived after 7 PM. The front desk person was friendly and asked what floor we'd prefer. She also offered cookies and recommended an excellent restaurant - Table Five 08 (which I'll review in the restaurant section). The rooms are very spacious and offer lots of amenities. My only complaint is that the room we were given was handicap accessible, which we didn't need, so I would have preferred knowing that up front. Other than that, very nice accommodations.
We try to stay at Best Westerns while on our road trips. And always, they are perfect for our needs. Very clean rooms, and bathrooms. Very friendly staff, and priced right! This place had a really nice lobby, and lots of parking.
nice Motel and close to family. I think I liked the complementary breakfast rather than most of the "in house" breakfasts, although they aren't bad. The internet was fast enough for what access I needed this trip.
A great stop off I-5 when travelling. Caring staff and nice amenities with Denny's restaurant vouchers for breakfast in the morning. The property is across the street from Costco and just a couple blocks away from the freeway access. Even tho it is on a busy road, it is quiet inside the room. Bed comfort is very good. I have stayed here several times and will return.
This chain has the standard amenities of any large hotel. It is conveniently located off I-5, next door to Costco, and within two miles drive of the airport and three excellent microbreweries (Gilgamesh, Santiam, & Salem Ale Works.) No breakfast is served (which is fine by me because it's always mediocre and requires too much staff time) so guests are given vouchers to eat at the Denny's restaurant next door. The lobby has a beautiful curved staircase and the pool complex has a gym, a jacuzzi, a regular pool, a kiddie pool, and an outdoor patio for sunning (but this is Oregon so good luck with that). When I checked in, the front desk clerk asked about my room preferences and I chose a room on the top floor of this three story hotel. My room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. I don't usually do chains but this one met my high standards of cleanliness and the courtesy of the staff was outstanding.
from the first phone call (a short notice of less than an hour) they treated us like part of the family. we have about 300000 best western points and have come to expect that. BUT this time, the gal whom answered the phone and also checked us in, didn't know about our experience or status until after we were almost done with the process of checking in. she and all the staff went out of their way to treat us and our pets like part of the BW family. highly recommend this property . thank you
This hotel surprised me at every turn! Incredibly high 5 star standards! 5 star house keeping rooms are incredibly clean! Safety is obviously important to management! Free breakfast at a sit down restaurant across the parking lot! Anthony Melchiorri would be proud!!
Convenient to the I-5, yet quiet. Well appointed, upscale look in the lobby. Breakfast at Denny's nearby is better than the usual motel breakfast.Rooms are clean and more spacious than usual.provided convenient storage for
We paid a little extra to stay here based on our wonderful experience at the Hood River Best Western Plus, and were quite disappointed. The staff are very friendly and helpful, but the hotel itself is unpleasantly dark and feels very dated. Worse, the mattress was so worn out that we both tended to roll towards the middle. The price includes about $4 worth of breakfast at a nearby Denny's. The room was very clean and this isn't a dump by any means, but you'd be better off at a different $120 hotel or staying at a $80 hotel and buying your own breakfast.
I had a conference to attend at the Convention Center downtown, but the Grand Hotel attached to the conference center didn't take pets. After looking for a close hotel that was pet friendly, we decided to give this place a try. It was just 8 minutes from my conference. Check in was easy and the staff was super nice. The room was spacious and had no traces of previous pets. The pillows were soft and the bed was decent, not great, but decent. Parking was plentiful and there was a grassy area for our little dogs. There were all kinds of complimentary things to drink in the room and in the lobby. Interestingly, the Denny's next door was part of the hotel, I think. I received a discount on all meals at Denny's and a voucher for a free breakfast every morning at Denny's (with a limited menu). Overall, a great experience at a very nice hotel. I would happily come here again.
I used this as a mid-location stop over but wished now I'd stayed longer. This seems to be a pattern in the reviews but the staff are genuinely very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Suites are excellent with breakfast bar area part of larger bedroom area. 24/7 coffee, tea or hot chocolate are available in reception. Good, clean, leisure facilities with sizable pool and bonus sauna. Free breakfast also delivers, as it is a voucher for selected menu at the Denny's located next door, so is cooked to order and not the normal standard cold buffer option offered by similar hotels. They also offer discount voucher for evening meal at Denny's. Amply free parking, within easy drive into Salem, this Inn is a perfect relaxing end or start to a journey.
Nice rooms and nice employees. I've stayed at 6 Best Westerns in the past 7 months and this is rated my #2 Best Western to stay at. Free breakfast at the Denny's next door and free coffee near the reception desk.
Clean rooms, beautifully decorated, comfortable "side room/office" with a recliner, and a big desk. Also has a bar area with bar stools, mini-fridge, complimentary water bottles. I love the thought that was put into the design - 2 sinks, one inside the bathroom (with toilet and shower) and one outside the bathroom. The staff is the friendliest I've ever encountered. The free breakfast at the Denny's next door is extremely good and very convenient. Will never stay anywhere else.
We have enjoyed a wonderful stay at BW Plus Mill Creek Inn. The staff have great attitudes and have gone above and beyond to meet our needs. King bedroom is spacious and has a comfortable lounge chair. There is a nice bar area with refer and microwave. The bathroom is spotless. I highly recommend this hotel and will return.
Super fast check in. Great room. Had to stop for the night unexpectedly and John from the front desk went above and beyond. Even helped me find a place to park my giant trailer. Very friendly staff. Thanks!
This was our first stay here. We were impressed with the large size of the room and the fast Internet! They don't serve breakfast but do give out vouchers for a nice hearty breakfast at the Denny's next door. The hotel is nice and clean and quiet and conveniently located so we would definitely stay here again. We did have to let the front desk know that none of the outlets in the bathroom worked, and one at the desk in the main area didn't work. This hotel seems well run so I am pretty confident they will fix this issue. We would stay here again.
This hotel is the best I've experienced in Salem. There is a second sink outside of the bathroom area, complimentary bottled water, breakfast at Denny's, extremely comfortable beds, great internet, and it's right next to Costco. It's very close to I-5 (but quiet) and downtown. It's an excellent choice for any type of trip.
When in Salem OR area this is the place to stay. We have stayed multiple times and always leave knowing this is where we will stay when back in the area. I like that they have a separate wading pool for little kids.
This hotel is fabulous and very quiet considering how close it is to the highway. Also, the free breakfast at Denny's is great. They give you an excellent selection to choose from. I will always stay here when in Salem.
I've stayed there twice on business in the last year & had nothing but positive experience. The place is nice enough to keep out the riff raff, but cheap enough to keep the accountant at work from asking questions. It's quiet, clean and the staff are quick, courteous and friendly. Everything I could ask for in a hotel.
Mill Creek Best Western Plus shows the highest regard for guest satisfaction and comfort than any other hotel I've been in in the past, and we have stayed in some truly pricey and luxurious places. It is the personal interest they take in guest comfort that is truly outstanding. Staff should be praised and rewarded. Our room was very clean, particularly in view of the fact that it was a pet room and they are notoriously difficult to maintain due to negligence and uncaring attitudes of pet owners. It was clean and smelled clean without a whole lot of perfumed products.
Comfortable enough... Only 2 minor issues... not great pillows and the bedside light switches were place in such a way that I had to get out of bed to turn them off. Cookie given upon checkin left alot to be desired.....
Excellent and large room, very nice bathroom and vanity area. Large television. Convenient locations for ice and snacks or drinks. Queen beds very jouncy; tried both to see if second more comfortable. Pillows for Best Western Hotels all seem uncomfortable and too big; not only that, all the same size. When I mentioned this to a previous hotel's host, she said these are BW's standards and suggested I bring my own. Excuse me? BW Just sank in my opinion as that is not at all accommodating nor a “high standard” answer. I could hear the neighbors a bit but not enough to ruin my night. The WIFI was mostly steady-on other than a few glitches. Hosts were very welcoming and friendly. Yes, you do get a slip to visit Denny's for breakfast with several choices offered and coffee, tea or juice. I did not go as I am not a fan.
The hotel staff we came in contact with were really wonderful. They could not have been more helpful or friendly and were great. The breakfast was at Denny's so it wasn't great, just good. The waitress was preoccupied with something so she didn't get much of a tip as her service was lacking. The hotel however, we great and their staff was even better.
Check in was quick and front desk staff were helpful. Rooms were large with kitchenette/bar area, clean and updated. Bed was very comfortable. We stayed on the second floor and found it to be very quiet. Hotel is within walking distance to restaurants and stores. Guests receive a voucher for breakfast at Denny's across the parking lot.
We stayed at this hotel for 1 night while driving back to Canada on our week long road trip. The night duty manager John provided exceptional service. He went over and above to ensure we were taken care of. This Best Western hotel had 2 private sauna rooms which customers can use which was a bonus. Complimentary breakfast included was okay. The room was a good size and clean. Would definitely stay here again.
I will definitely be back. Quit, comfortable, clean, convenient location, helpful staff.....everything a person would want in a hotel. The only reason I didn't select "excellent" is due to limited experience with this hotel. Now I know it's there it will be my hotel of choice for future travel to the area.
very nice room, breakfast next door at dennys bargain basement tv channel selection, were looking forward to a movie, glad we travel w/a good book. staff nice, did have some dvd's at the front desk, but most were old titles
We like this hotel as it is close to the I-5 for a one night stay when travelling further south. Rooms may be a bit dated but are spacious and clean. The continental breakfast is in the Denny's in the same parking lot as the hotel, had good options and was delicious! Also, Costco is right across the street and we always end up buying something there.
Outstanding staff - so friendly and professional. The rooms were clean and very nice. My family will always stay here when we go through Salem. If you're going to be close and need a hotel - make this your spot to stay.
There are many choices that I could make in Oregons Capitol city. Several in the same relative location. What brings me back are the people and the dependability of the accommodation. I make this same trip once each month and have done so for 7 years. On occaision I have been talked into trying another place. While others may be fine, I always rebook the Mill Creek Inn on the next trip. The front desk people are alway there with a smile whether I arrive early or late.
For parents checking in frosh at Willamette Univ., it's across the street from Costco, near Home Depot & Walmart. Every convenient picking up all our dorm needs. Bed, Bath & Beyond was on the way from PDX.
The customer service was the best I've ever experienced. John and staff went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. The rooms are clean, pool is great and their 24-hour coffee bar a great treat. Restaurant facilities are within walking distance, and again the food and staff were great. It's also easy access to freeway.
We had a suite for five people! Not a common room to need but they had two queen beds and a sofa bed, which was perfect for our family of 5 (One couple and a father with two adult sons). The hotel was easy to access from the freeway, the room was CLEAN, and we had plenty of room for the five of us to move around and sleep comfortably. There was a great selection of coffee in the lobby and even though they don't do breakfast, we got a voucher for a few selections at Denny's, which was in the parking lot. John checked us in and was knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming, plus, he has great taste in music ;-D. My only complaint is that the pillows are too puffy, but I get that at almost every hotel I visit. Thanks y'all.
Greeted by a very personable young man who made us feel very welcome. The hotel has lots of parking and an elevator which was much appreciated when our room was on the third floor. The room was nicely decorated and comfortable. A micro wave , fridge and coffee maker was provided for our use. The hotel is well off the highway and traffic noise was not an issue. Plenty of towels and two wash basins. One would not drain but a call into the front desk had someone fix it very quickly. A couple of negatives... The doors slam which can make it very noisy at night or early morning . The shampoo and body lotion dispensers are hard to use..requiring a lot of pushing of the buttons to get any liquid. I know it is an attempt to get rid of tons of plastic bottles but maybe a different design? Denny's coupon for breakfast and a discount for dinner. All in all a good stay and we would probably call in again.
The hotel is located right off the highway and easy to get to. Hotel was nice. Rooms were comfortable and the beds were nice. Got a good night's sleep. As an added bonus, breakfast was at the Dennys next door.
I have stayed here many times. It is quiet, clean, well appointed with courteous helpful staff. Its location makes anywhere in Salem easy to reach. Internet Wi Fi easy to access and works very well. There is a large parking area. Breakfast is at the Denny's by it and is a great value.
This hotel is very accessible to I5 and anywhere in Salem. The rooms are nice and the complimentary breakfast at Denny's is a great value. Extremely friendly service - I'd like to point out that the young man working at the Front Desk was extremely friendly and helpful; connects well with a guests and has that can-do attitude. A real asset to this property. Jen was really nice too and I enjoyed the newspapers every morning.
I stayed at this hotel one night and it was a great experience. John at the front desk was super nice when we checked in and gave us some late night dinner place suggestions. Our room was a bit larger than average I'd say and well appointed. It even has a built in night light in the bathroom and charging ports & tons of outlets - LOVE! The beds were super comfy. We had to request extra blankets because my friend and I were both a little chilly with what was provided but they brought them up quickly. The beds were very comfortable which can be hard to find. The location felt safe and it shares a parking lot with a Denny's which is a nice option for late arrival dinners, etc. Instead of breakfast on site the hotel offers a coupon for breakfast at Denny's. Sounded great in theory but we tried to use it at 9:30am on a saturday and it was a 45 minute wait. However I'm sure on weekdays this would work great. The hotel itself was clean and nice. My only complaint I can even think of is that the shampoo isn't the best. But really if that's the only issue its a pretty good hotel! I'd highly recommend and we wish we had stayed there two nights instead of moving on to a less desirable place the following night as planned.
I really enjoyed my stay at your hotel. I always know that the rooms will be clean and comfortable. The staff are always pleasant and accommodating in whatever the need. The bed was perfect, as soon as I laid down I was out and slept as good as I do on my Sleep Number. Good Job.
I truly appreciate my stay at this hotel! It is a beautiful hotel that is wonderfully kept up by the staff. The staff are happy and helpful. The room was clean. Plenty of amenities. Huge rooms. Great value for the price!
Loved staying...very quiet and peaceful. Coffee in the lobby was so nice. The room was clean and the staff were great! The outside was beautiful with nice flower beds. Denny's is close by. I wished they served Coke products.
This is the second time I have stayed here and it is still a great place to stay! Very friendly and helpful staff, huge rooms, clean bathrooms, the things that I look for in a motel. I had the hot tub to myself at around 9:00 pm! My only wish is that the pool was a little warmer :) Did not swim because it was soooooo cold.
we love to stay at this location, they are always friendly and helpful would like to see them provide charging ports for our phones and tablets. the breakfast is hard to beat for a hotel. we always look forward to our stay when we visit Salem and Portland
Excellent staff at check in. Both employees on shift were very helpful and knowledgeable about dining and next days sightseeing. The room was very large and convenient location to dining and shopping.
We stayed at the Best Western Plus Mill Creek Inn. The room was very nice, and spacious. Loved the chocolate chip cookies! The hot tub was great. Breakfast was complimentary at Dennys. We would definitely stay here again.
The room was very clean and comfortable. Slept like a baby. Nice and roomy. I loved that they are sustainably minded and had the soap and shampoo dispensers instead of individual bottles. Also the front desk staff were extremely nice and helpful. The free breakfast at the Denny's was great too!
This Best Western property was clean, quiet, and well maintained. The Inn offers breakfast certificates for the Denny's, across the parking lot, which was a little unexpected but worked well for us. Overall, it was a flawless stay.
I travel to Salem a lot for business and spend a lot of time in this hotel; it is always a good experience. Comfortable and clean and usually quiet. I ended up on the first floor this time due to earlier than usual check-in. It was a bit noisy from the parking lot until about 10 pm, then quieted down. No problems after that!
Friday evening check in was hectic due to numerous phone calls, but was quick when we were engaged. The hotel and service are good quality but showing age. Free breakfast at Denny's next door, but a very limited menu. Rooms were clean but shower head was lower quality. Good amount of hot water, not too noisy on a busy weekend, lots of parking, staff friendly and helpful. Beds were comfy. Very easy access from the freeway but no noise. Bonus - Costco across the street if you're a member.
This hotel has wonderful staff, they are always inviting, helpful and friendly. The room offers free wifi, which is fairly decent speed wise. And the rooms are always very clean and comfortable. I enjoy the fact that rather than continental breakfast, they offer a coupon for the Denny's right across the parking lot, where there are a few different menu items you can choose from. Overall, a really great experience every time.
Best Western Plus Mill Creek Inn, in Salem, Oregon is an excellent hotel for the money. It is clean, welcoming, ideal for what we came for: a family wedding, a place for a large group of people from out-of-town to gather. The breakfast at the restaurant across the parking lot was convenient and delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
My wife and I stayed in Salem on the way to the coast and chose this property, so we could do a little shopping at the outlets. We were pleasantly surprised, as this property looked to have upgraded, had great rooms and a great location.
Since we are from out of town, we needed a place to spend the night prior to a next day surgery for my wife at Salem Hosp. The staff were very helpful providing us directions and the room was great. The only drawback is that they do not have an in-house breakfast. Since my wife could not eat before surgery, I did not want to go to the recommended restaurant and leave her.
After driving north thru Oregon where forest fires raged, Salem BW was a welcome break, with its crystal clear indoor pool and large well appointed rooms (except for the micro size of the refrigerator). First time we'd encountered the partnership with Denny's on site, discount on the dinner was welcome, breakfast adequate with excellent service, but still prefer the BW buffet if given the choice. Great binder of local information, found 2 beautiful historic house/gardens within 2 miles which we wouldn't have known were there. Do miss the former blue/red/gold BW logo, the new "cough drop" look just doesn't make it!
The young man who checked us in was so helpful, gave us coupons for breakfast. Got us a rollaway bed. On our trip we had many hotels but yours was the best because of the way were greeted and his follow through.
I spent three nights in your Salem, Oregon hotel while dropping of my child for his first day of College. Each night, the people in the room above me were running and jumping off the beds and making noise well past midnight. Each night and morning I complained to the front desk. They apologized and said they would take care of it. On the final night, I went to the lobby at 1:30am to beg them to get these people to be quiet, it took another 1/2 hour before they stopped. As I checked out on the final day, I asked to speak to the manager and was told he wasn't in, but that he would call me. I stated, I wanted a refund and that I had planned on making this my hotel of choice for the next 4 years as I visited my son in college and now I would be looking for another hotel. It has been 5 days since I checked out of your hotel and have yet to hear from the manager.
This hotel is extremely nice. The only reason I can think of that it is not rated Premier is that it doesn't have a restaurant connected to it. They use the Denny's next door for breakfast, but this Denny's also has a lounge with a few slot machines. The rooms in the hotel are big and very nicely decorated. We enjoyed our stay at this location.
Yes, it was a hotel that we chose as this was a key location to experience the 2017 total eclipse. The $400+/night "Eclipse Rate" is what they charged, and also did expect a 2-night minimum stay. OK. We get that. However, how much does it cost a hotel to provide a positive, friendly experience?!? After all, we just paid $400+/night. As a Best Western Rewards member for many years I expected at least a friendly greeting, and perhaps an explanation for things that was only met with a "NO, We can't do that. We are not offering a late check out to anyone...", or a "Sorry that the cleaning service knocked on your door at 8:15AM, even though the fire alarm went off at 2AM and had people awake until about 4AM.." There was NO empathy or consideration for the NO's or the SORRY's. Clearly there was the hotel's EXCEPTION for making customers pay a premium price. It was very disappointing that the hotel and its staff didn't provide any concessions given that the Eclipse experience was in the morning and that checking out could be a logistics nightmare. This is NOT a Best Western I'd ever visit again.
We booked Best Western over 18 months ago for the Salem Eclipse. We were not disappointed. The staff was wonderful even with a full house! They planned for special breakfast so everyone could be served and get to viewings! Hotel is quiet and easy access from freeway. Room was clean and bed really comfortable. Breakfast is at Denny's via a voucher. Thank you for a wonderful experience. The following is not a review of the hotel but an experience that happened to another customer and a reminder warning to all. Couple and their children checked out and put luggage in trunk of rental car and went to Denny's next door for breakfast – while at Denny's someone opened trunk (duplicate key???) and stole all their belongings. It could have happened anywhere - just a reminder about leaving valuables in trunk.
I forgot to leave a tip for housekeeping one days and got no cleaning other than bed being made. Used towels not replaced, hair in shower drain there when I arrived and not cleaned. No replacement water, coffee or tea Awful housekeeping staff. There on gov't rate and was intentionally given the most horrible room because of it. Clerk actually told my co-worker and I.
The room was clean, tidy and comfortable. We enjoyed it so much. The bed wasn't too hard or too soft. The pillows were awesome and not flat, not like normal hotels. Breakfast was quick and courteous. We would come again!
First off, John at the front desk is always in such a good mood that ya cant help but smile. It makes you feel very welcome. All of the desk staff have been great. I've had several different rooms, one with a little kitchenette even. Spacious rooms for sure, plenty of lighting, power outlets, nice Tv's, plenty of blankets and pillows. There have been some odd smelling rooms and some spots that have been missed while cleaning unfortunately. No continental breakfast, bit they give you a voucher for Denny' s for breakfast and show your room key for 15 percent off dinner. I'm not big on Denny's, but it's on the parkinglot so it's convenient. Overall very pleased with my experience here over the last couple weeks. I will stay here in the future.
We were at this hotel for the total eclipse of the sun. Despite the constant stream of excited people checking-in, Monica at the front desk treated each person with professional and thoughtful service. The hotel usually provides a voucher for breakfast at the next door Denny's. But on "eclipse" morning, they provided a free continental breakfast since they probably knew the Denny's would have trouble accommodating everyone (which was true). Really wonderful service - and the room was large and comfortable.
We stayed in a king suite. Very large foom with a couch and recliner. Very comfortable. Used the pool and the hot tub. Location is outstanding for access to restaurants and Costco (for gas). We will be back.
Pet friendly hotel. The room design and layout were great. Loved having a refrigerator, microwave, and counter. Room was updated with good lighting and spacious bathroom. Provided with a breakfast voucher at Denny's across the parking lot. Breakfast was fine but service was slow.
It is extremely rare when I stay at a hotel and am not able to pick out a few faults here and there. However, the Mill Creek Inn is that hotel; the room had everything including a comfortable king-sized bed, good desk for getting some work done with super-fast wireless internet access, big-screen TV with a menu for the channels, highly-functional bathroom with a large counter. Although we didn't use the microwave or refrigerator, we did not that the latter was stocked with water available for no charge. Breakfast was served at Denny's which was located a short walk across the parking lot and included five options for hot food plus two drinks (I had orange juice, coffee and hotcakes; my wife had eggs with hash browns and toast.) Finally, the location is close to I-5 and only ten minutes from downtown Salem. While we almost never travel with our dog, we did on this trip; the hotel is pet-friendly and has a big field out back for dog-walks. I am really picky but this hotel was great.
Our stay at this best western far exceeded our expectations. The staff was so friendly and caring. The amentities were exactly what we needed. They even have a shallow pool for smaller kids and toddlers, our three year old loved it. I was able to do laundry and I had access to free coffee all day. The voucher they give you for dennys next door is easy to use and a good size meal. The room was big and very clean. Also for a hotel gym it has everything you need to have a complete workout.
Hurrah! BWPlus is back to its excellent self after completing its renovations. The staff at the front desk is polite and efficient. My room reservation requests (ti.e. top floor, quiet location, away from ice machines) were fulfilled perfectly and we enjoyed a good night's rest. BWPlus' rooms have 2 vanities in separate areas which makes freshening up so convenient and comfortable for weary travellers. A BIG PLUS is having an excellent Denny's right next door so no extra driving is necessary to enjoy a relaxing AND delicious meal - I recommend Denny's "Bourbon Chicken Skillet" - so delicious and flavorful! BWPlus's coupon for free Denny's breakfast is a great way to start the next day - so easy, so relaxing, hassle free! Roadtripping with this kind of service and accommodations is FUN!
Amazing staff...excellent location if coming and going to local places...great room...Loved our weekend here! Staff was extremely helpful and pleasant, printing Google directions for us with big smiles and sharing good local info.
My family of 4 was very comfortable here for the night. It was nice to have the full breakfast at Denny's- which was in the same parking lot. The room was spacious and had all the amenities we needed.
I stayed here for 2 nights while on a business trip from Seattle. The hotel lobby was very clean, the front desk staff Laura was very friendly and even gave me cookies! The room was tidy, nothing really to complain about. I unfortunately ended up staying here when an unpredictable fatal shooting happened. I could see the body from my room window. Due to the crime scene, I was not able to check out of the hotel and leave, since my car was beyond the tape. Laura was reassuring I wouldn't be charged for checking out late due to the police activity. Overall stay was very nice despite someone being shot and killed only a few steps away from my hotel window.
Stayed in a 1 bedroom suite with king bed on 3rd floor. Also used a rollaway bed ($8/day). The bedroom is huge with a nice TV (DirecTV too) and a comfy bed. There is a door to the bedroom that closes it from the rest of the suite. There is a snacking area between the bedroom and living area with fridge (big enough to hold 24+ cans of soda), microwave and sink. Bathroom has a closable door. The living area is also huge; the rollaway bed fit easily when the sleeper sofa was extended. The rollaway and the sleeper sofa bed are typically uncomfortable. Also the hallway noise was evident at night for those in the sleeper sofa and rollaway bed, but it was quiet in the closed bedroom. WalMart Supercenter is a 12-minute walk. So is Panda Express.
I was very happy with the accommodations and services provided. Staff were very helpful from the time I made the reservation including a minor change in plans ( added another night stay), until check out. Will definitely stay here again if the opportunity comes up.
Although the walls are a bit thin the white noise from the air conditioner masked it well. The room was spacious, clean, and well appointed. Instead of little bottles of shampoo, etc., they have containers with pumps on the wall of the shower and vanity. Much more convenient. The place is easy to find, right off of the freeway. Its a short drive to downtown. The mattress was great, and the pillows were perfect, firm but fluffy. We would stay again. The price was right.
Well maintain facility, nice rooms, indoor pool and small gym. They provide breakfast at Denny's restaurant located in the same premises. Good place to stay in Salem and service was great. Not far from downtown.
Had a wonderful stay at the Best Western in Salem. Lauren at the front desk had fantastic customer service and was very helpful. My room was wonderful and the breakfast was delish. The chandelier in the lobby is beautiful. Thank you for making my short stay enjoyable.
I always stay here a fantastic place to stay in Salem. Better than more expensive places and they always make me feel at home. Great location near I5 and only a few minutes from downtown, the State capitol and major shopping and dinning venues. Reasonable rates, comfortable rooms and friendly staff.
In the past, I booked hotels at Hilton properties since I am now a Hilton Diamond member. However, based on our stay at Best Western Plus hotels, we are now looking for a Best Western to book. The Best Western Plus Mill Creek Inn, Salem, Oregon is one of the best hotels where we have stayed. We received excellent service, and the accommodations are excellent. The staff is very professional and went out of their way to ensure that we had a wonderful stay at their hotel. The accommodations greatly exceeded our expectation. The room was spacious and well-maintained. We are already planning another trip back to Salem, OR and will definitely stay at this hotel.
The customer service was fantastic from the moment we entered the lobby. Before we knew it we had all of the information we needed to run some errands and take some leisure time. We didn't even have to Google anything. The awesome guy at the front desk (I'm SO sorry I can't remember his name!) provided us with directions and restaurant locations. The room was very comfortable. The pool was nice and there was a very large hot tub. The location of the hotel was very convenient. The price was in my opinion more than fair. My husband and I had nothing at all negative to say about our stay.
We were given an upgraded room instead of the room that we originally booked. The extra space and comfort was very welcome after a very long drive. Everything was very clean. The room had everything that we could ask for and had amenities that you seldom see any more. (granite countertops, ironing boards, real glasses with covers, reclining loveseat, desk, table with chairs, incredibly comfortable bed, easy to figure out and quiet air conditioning,) The indoor pool was very nice and towels were available for the asking at the front desk on the way in. Despite being right off of I-5 there was no traffic noise. This will be our go to stop on future trips south.
I thought this hotel was great. From the time we checked into the time we left it was great. The service was top notch, John and Monica went above and beyond to make our stay nice. The room was clean and comfortable. I will be booking with them again.
Nice place, nice room. The pool and hot tub were clean and we enjoyed the extended hours compared to other hotels. A little pricey but we will be back. We also liked the free breakfast at the nearby Denny's. NOTE: Some TV channels are not family-friendly (TV-Mature at a minimum!!)
On 7/15/17 we stayed at this hotel. On 7/16/17 we attended a birthday party for my great aunt. I was very impressed with the staff. The young lady at the check in desk (I didn't catch her name) was incredibly accomodating to our requests. Thank you for a great experience! I would highly reccomend this hotel.
We stayed for one night while traveling. Very nice hotel, but the area behind the property seems to be a location for homeless camping. Noticed the uniformed security guard in the lobby at night. Fre breakfast is available only at Denny's next door, no take out, so you can't take it back to your room. Very nice rooms, but marginal beds.
Every year my daughter and I stay at this Best Western for our annual trip to Enchanted Forest. We absolutely love it! This year there was new staff at check in, 2 men. I cannot remember the name of the man you helped me, but he was the taller one, maybe Nathan?? He was awesome! So very nice and helpful. My daughter also received a cookie. As always check in was smooth. Our room was great, 2 queen beds that were very comfortable, a fridge with 2 bottles of water (I love that the hotel always has this), and mints. The room was spotless. The hotel has an indoor pool, Jacuzzi, and sauna. We use it every year, its a large pool and clean. I only wish they would heat it much more. Its pretty cold. The hotel offers a complimentary breakfast at Denny's. You can choose from pancakes, french toast, or eggs and toast. Now you are allowed 2 drinks per person. The hotel also has complimentary coffee, tea, and hot chocolate in the lobby. BW is located only a few mins away from Salem's downtown which is great, do not miss going there. Enchanted Forest is about 10-15 mins away. Keep on doing a great job and we will see you next year. Keep on traveling! If you would like to see my travels please follow me on Instagram @lizdiz
Great place, clean facility and nice people. The staff really cared. The whole facility was in very good shape. Close to town and freeways.The hotel seemed safe. The Denny's gave good service. Thanks!
The staff was very helpful and courteous. The food at Denny's was quick and tasty. John a desk rep. was helpful with the internet to get my boarding pass. My room was always clean and had fresh towels. Would stay again. Was able to check in early which was good as my flight was long .
It was very hot and the air conditioning was great. Room was clean and well cared for. Enjoyed our stay. Staff was well trained in customer service. The breakfast was good, but would have preferred it in the actual hotel.
This is a wonderful hotel. From the large rooms, beautiful grounds, friendly and efficient staff, and good amenities, I highly recommend this hotel. You will find that the price is very good, I travel a lot, this property is 20-30% lower in price than hotels that do not compare in quality. I will always stay in this hotel when traveling through Oregon, I was very happy at this property. I travel with my medical service dog, it was wonderful to have a large field behind the hotel to walk my dog. If you have children, they have a wonderful indoor pool, a large jacuzzi, and a shallow children pool. I travel a lot, this hotel is great for the price. I stayed in 2 other hotels while driving from California to Washington, the other 2 were much more expensive, and were not very nice. You will be very happy you booked this location.
It was a very nice stay the people were extremely helpful in answering my questions about what restaurants are good. The room was very clean and comfortable the bed was a little bit hard but that's a personal choice it was over all a very nice stay
Great hotel for a family. The kids pool was perfect. Rooms are outdated and the A/C units are loud. Size of rooms are great. Having to walk across the parking lot for breakfast is a bit of a pain & especially on the wkds when it's busy and have to wait for a table. However good selection and mon-Thursday was pretty speedy service.
If you are tired from a long trip and are budget conscious, this is a fine place to stay. But I wouldn't plan a vacation around this hotel. The beds are uncomfortable, the air conditioner extremely loud, and half the outlets didn't work. The pluses are the room was clean and a good size, and the bathroom was clean. I'll admit, I travel a lot on business and stay in very nice hotels across the country, so I'm sure to superior accommodations and maybe am judging this place too harshly. If you're budget conscious and primarily care about a clean room, you'd be happy here. There's no on-site breakfast -- they give you a voucher to eat at the next-door Denny's, which was fine.
This motel is terrific from check in to check out. The staff bends over backward to ensure an entirely satisfactory stay, and the facility itself is clean and safe. You can't go wrong with this location!
The Mill Creek Inn is a very comfortable place to stay when visiting Salem, OR. I enjoyed a swim every day in the indoor pool. The pool is kept very clean and welcoming. My mom had an adjoining handicap accessible room that worked well for her. The staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast vouchers for the next-door Denny's is a plus.
I was on a road trip all the way from Ohio so me and my family knew close to nothing about Oregon. We were planning to see Portland and Seattle and lucky for us the receptionist, Laurie, knew practically everything. Thanks to her we could plan out a specific tour of places in Portland and Seattle- plus Mt. St. Helen. The hotel was pretty good too. The bathroom had two sinks, one inside and one outside, the shower had shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel dispensers, and a lot of tidiness. The room was very spacious and had a fridge and microwave. Also, we got breakfast vouchers at Denny's. Pretty much nothing wrong here for a one-night stay. But high compliments to the receptionist!
We arrived early on a very hot day. They got us into a room right away. Room was clean and the air conditioner was already going. The Facility was clean and neat inside and out. We were given a voucher for breakfast at the Denny's which was just across the parking lot.
Easy to find and a good location. The rooms were clean and spacious. The bed was comfortable and the shower was clean with good water pressure.We were given vouchers for breakfast at the Denny's next door which was great.i would recommend this hotel.
Incredible staff- welcoming, accommodating and sincerely kind. Front desk people make you feel right at home. Caring and helpful, always willing to accommodate requests and needs. Hotel is clean and well maintained. Above and beyond the art of great service ! Personal attention to all details and I will stay at Best Westerns in the future.
Really nice place. Room was quiet and clean. Beds were comfortable and had plenty of pillows. My only complaint is the shower. It didn't have very much pressure and I had to turn up the temperature several times during a single shower. I didn't run out of hot water but it felt like I might had I stayed in longer.
Had a great time. The handicap room was very good for my mom, I was really happy to get it! The dog area was very nice & convenient to our room. Did use the money-off coupons for dinner and breakfast! Very convenient!!!
Comfortable well appointed rooms, and the hotel itself is just fine. The complimentary meal service is farmed out to Denny's across the way, in other words slow service and poor menu choice. They would be better off to provide a self serve breakfast buffet inside the building as many Best Westerns now do.
From check-in to checkout we and our dog were treated like VIPs. Sincerely welcomed with prompt. friendly service. Room was clean and comfortable with a treat package for our dog as well. Best nights sleep of all places we have stayed at. Best Western is on my wife and my preferred list from now on. Price was only a little more than so called budget hotels but more than worth it for the comfort and service. Only issue we have was that a voucher was issued for restaurant next door for breakfast in lieu of "hot breakfast" in hotel. We missed the opportunity of talking and sharing experiences with other travelers at breakfast as with other "free breakfast" hotels/motels we have stayed in .
This was the nicest Best Western I have ever stayed at. Very clean and all the staff went out of their way to help us with everything we needed. I traveled with my 11 year old and they even made him feel very important! We loved our stay here!
Easy to find off freeway, well-marked, easy check in. They gave us two cookies upon checking in but I couldn't eat them (not vegan cookies) and B said they actually were not good anyway so I wasn't missing anything! The first room we went into faced the parking lot so we switched to room 335. It was spacious and faced into the wooded area (but a parking lot light is right outside the window- can't see into woods early morn and eve- prime bird time). There was a microwave, fridge, dresser, desk, table, large tv. The bed was slightly soft, good pillows of various softness. The bathroom has lotion/soap dispensers (I love this, less waste!). Two trash cans in room but no recycle cans. Two sinks. Mints left on nightstand were unnecessary…they could save the money and instead buy softer toilet paper! First time ever for us, and we travel a lot, we heard the neighbors having sex, their bed thumped our wall! Downstairs there is a 24-hour cappuccino machine and hot coffee available. The laundry worked very well, there's a nice sized indoor pool and very HOT, roomy jacuzzi. The workout area is good enough, with weight machines and an elliptical, bike, and treadmill. Free with hotel stay: Denny's breakfast. Do yourself a favor and RUN away! Try the close-by “word of mouth” restaurant instead, great breakfast and worth every penny.
I was extremely pleased with this property! The rooms were spacious and reasonably priced. Service was excellent with added access to a Denny's restaurant on the property. I would highly recommend this hotel!!
Needed a room at the last minute while traveling through Salem, OR on our way to Casade Locks as the trip was longer than expected. Called this hotel and luckily they had a room that would take us & our 2 dogs. The hotel and room were wonderful! What a nice surprise for a tired family. Love BW hotels!
This was a one night stop at the beginning of our 3 week road trip. Hotel is conveniently located off the I5 with easy on/off access. Building well maintained and seemed to be used by business for conferences. Staff very friendly. Our room was large with a lounger for watching the TV and a sit up bar with sink, fridge microwave and coffeemaker. Bed was very comfortable. I rated the hotel down a point due to the thin walls with noise from other rooms and the freeway. Complimentary breakfast is provided at Denny's across the parking lot with a set menu for hotel guests to choose from. Costco is located across the street. Would recommend staying here.
The desk clerks were always helpful, the Denny's was adequate for the free breakfast - quick attentive staff - and dinner there was pretty good, too. I will stay here again when I am in the area for business.
Surprisingly nice hotel for the price. Would definitely come back. All the members of the staff that we talked to were very pleasant, while not being stuffy. While still being professional they were not afraid to joke around a little and talk about the weekend. The rooms were nice and clean. My wife and I liked the bathroom layout. There was two sinks one inside the bathroom and one outside. This made getting ready in the morning much easier. Unfortunately you have to walk across the parking lot to get breakfast at Denny's so you can't take breakfast in your room. I think that was the only downside.
The lobby was, nice, awesome clerk, initial impression of room was nice. But wiped up some food off the carpet and the wipe was black and then saw how dirty the carpet was. Hated to walk barefoot on it.Woke up in the morning and was so achy..and then noticed how lumpy the bed was. The sink in the bathroom didn't drain, I diverted the water from the tub to the shower and about 30% still came out the faucet so the shower pressure was poor. very disappointed, worst BW I ever stayed at. Left from breakfast still hungry..get a coupon for a small breakfast at Denny's
All the staff were very friendly and the service was great. Nice Clean and big rooms. Great breakfast. Quiet location but not far from shopping or freeway. Stayed several times in the past and will stay again.
I cannot say enough good things about this BW hotel. John & Monica at the front desk changed a bad day into a pleasant evening. A more caring front desk staff would be hard to find. The hotel was quite nice, in every way. My every concern was addressed by John & Monica. I would stay there again any time. Thank you J & M!!!!
I've stayed at this property several times and I can't complain about the room or service. The only issue is that the prices seem to be creeping up at a rather quick pace. It is a nice feature that you have the option of a fairly extensive menu at the Denny's next door, and if you're a Costco member it is right across the street.
I stopped here while traveling on I-5. It was close to the highway and I assumed would be a good value. Not so. I learned that Plus means it is an upgraded Best Western. I'm not sure what made that so unless you count the big sweeping staircase from the lobby to the first floor. The room wasn't big. Bed was definitely not comfortable (too hard) and the sound from adjacent rooms was noticeable. The best part of the layout was a two sink arrangement with one in with the shower and toilet. Another sink was positioned outside. It would be great for two people getting ready at the same time. Breakfast was a coupon to go to the restaurant across the parking lot. All in all, I was not impressed and thought the rate was very high for the product offered. It's possible that rates are higher here because of government and legislature but I didn't compare to the others nearby.
John at check-in was great. He had fresh cookies, got me a great room and location exactly to my specs and offered great food/bev referrals. Since I was a one night stay, he gave me pre-check out and gave me the receipt we need to turn in for expenses. The room was quiet, clean, well-appointed and they have excellent toiletries. The breakfast was simple and good at Dennys and I loved the Grab a Snack bags available.
We enjoyed of stay and was impressed the staff were so king to all the kids staying there. they gave them toys to play with in the pool treated them when they behaved well. Praised and encourage them . I am very impressed.
I always stay at Best Western Plus Mill Creek Inn when visiting my daughter who attends college in Salem. The staff (a big shout out to John!) is friendly and very competent, the rooms are clean and the breakfast vouchers for Denny's (across the parking lot) come in very handy!
Safe location - hotel is maintained in very good condition. We had four guests and got the double bed room and it was great - lots of room to spread out. Room had double sinks and a separate bath and sink area to accommodate people getting ready simultaneously. The room was very clean and modern. Hotel staff were very accommodating and pleasant. Breakfast was provided by the Denny's across the parking lot from the hotel. For breakfast you were able to select from five different choices. Highly recommend if you are staying in the Salem area.
When using gift cards that you are given credit for it and check your credit card because we were charged with out our knowledge Hotel manager credit our credit card after we ask him to call us to clarify the charges At check in night manager was unprofessional
Convenient proximity to Willamette university and downtown without paying downtown rates. Helpful staff. Breakfast vouchers are a good value. Have stayed here three or four times a year while my son is at Willamette. Never been disappointed.
This was a great place to stay in Salem near the business district/airport. I have worked for 2 state agencies and both would put us up here until they remodeled and then for a period of time they would not accept the government rate so we moved down the street to the Comfort Suites. I think they realized how much they were loosing because I see Gov vehicles there again on a regular basis. The lack of government rate is the only reason I moved. The hotel staff were kind, friendly, and helpful. Rooms were always clean, and included everything I could ask for...micro, frig, coffee etc. Granted it has been several years since I stayed there, but based on my previous experiences I would stay there again if I was in the area for personal reasons and needed a place to stay. (FYI I picked to oldest date available for "when I traveled" but it was likely closer to 2012 that I stayed last)
Breakfasts were at a Denny's on the property. The place was full and the wait was too long. We had to leave. The offered choices were OK, but fixed and did not fit my wife's dietary restrictions. The sink drain malfunctioned, but we could not find anyone to report it to at checkout.
Very professional & clean. We received receipt when we paid & checked in. Cheaper than other Best Westerns on our trip. Also, the nicest & cleanest room & most professional staff. Our room was clean & updated. Costco is next-door & Oregon does not have sales tax.
Best valve $$ and nicest rooms in the Best Westerns inventory in the USA Next time heading north or south on I 5 in we wil stay here. Worst thing about this stay is taking this survey demanding 200 correctors
Always can count on a great stay at a BW - my third one in a week of traveling. Reservation area was inviting with a sweeping staircase to the second floor. Great costumer service. Staff were professional in attire, helpful, and pleasant. Coffee/tea and fresh cookie available upon arrival. Nice indoor pool and business computer area for guests. Room was large, spotless clean bathroom and comfy beds. Didn't hear a thing all night. Breakfast was provided by Denny's located adjacent to the hotel parking lot. Enjoyed going there for a change for a fresh made breakfast rather eating at hotel breakfast common room. Great stay at a great price and I would definitely come back if in the area. :)
Good location staff extremely friendly and helpful. The pool has a little section for tiny tots. We came with our kids and dogs would definitely recommend to stay here. The breakfast is at Denny's thought but it's in the same parking lot.
This Best Western is reliably clean, comfortable, efficient, and affordable. I like the little touches--free bottled water in the refrigerator, warm cookies in the lobby, free restaurant breakfast--that make this unassuming hotel so good.
We needed pet friendly and a pool for the kids. Got both. Dennys for breakfast worked well for us as we had some picky eaters along and that provided a bigger choice. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The free lobby coffee was excellent, a real rarity. My husband had medications that needed to be kept cool and there was a freezer in the mini fridge so the ice pack could be refrozen.
Excellent hotel, friendly hotel staff, very clean rooms and comfortable bed and furniture. Close to family restaurants and major stores for shopping. The parking is great. The swimming pool is clean. Hotel breakfast is very good and a Denny's next door. Close to the downtown area if you need to do business.
I stayed here while attending a conference and it was perfect! The rooms are spacious (I got a suite) and clean! The staff are very courteous and accommodating. I would highly recommend this hotel in Salem. Centrally located without a Denny's very close.
The Best of the Best Western I had stayed at. Very clean and friendly staff. The Breakfast is great and a good selection to chose from. Nice pool and exercise room also towels provided. I will stay at this hotel again and pass it around to my friends and Family.
Great check in. Cookies and coffee free, wow! Best night sleep at a hotel ever. The bedding is top notch. Pool was good but small. Nice lobby and plenty of parking. Definitely would stay there again. Happy traveler here.
Unfortunately the hotel was overrun with children who were jumping on the beds, sitting in the hot tub, running in the halls. When we called to complain, it didn't improve significantly and after the initial complaint, no follow up occurred.
I went for my great grandson's birthday. My wife and I have stayed in this hotel numerous times. It is a very convenient location for visiting family in Salem. The staff is very pleasant and helpful. The only complaint is that there is only one suitcase stand even though I had a room with a king size bed and my wife normally travels with me.
Monica at the front desk was very friendly and helpful to my family. We were not aware of the Best Western Reward plan and she explained to us and signed us up so that we can enjoy the benefits. The rooms are very spacious and clean. I was with my husband and teenage son, and we stayed in a two queens bedroom (very spacious). We were visiting Willamette University and this hotel is pretty close to the campus. There is a Costco across the street which made it quite convenient for a quick bite. The only thing that I would say that we did not really had a good experience with was the Denny's capacity (which provides complimentary breakfast to guest at this hotel) was not really sufficient for the hotel guests for breakfast. We ended up leaving for another place for breakfast because of the 20 minutes wait. We would definitely choose this hotel again when we are in town.
I just want to say that this motel is just awesome, great service and the rooms were clean. The manager at this motel showed me that he goes out of his way to take care. Of me or anyone else , I can't say enough about this motel.
doesn't often happen , but this is a hotel I whole heartedly recommend !! Great welcome from John at the front desk , with warm cookies , choice of room levels . Very clean room , so clean I did not do the usual mattress inspection that I usually do !!! John also recommended a great restaurant for us vegans , just a 10 min drive away , & he supplied a printed direction to it . Close to freeway , which was handy , but very quiet . Will be visiting Salem to check out the sights in the future & would definitely stay here again ! We do this trip down south & back every year & B/W Salem is high on our list of hotels ! Only complaint was the breakfast which was included -- it was at the Dennys, so we did not use it as only a limited amount of options , with the voucher provided. Perhaps serve coffee, juice & fruit in the foyer for breakfast ?
I was told there was a "dog area" right outside the back door. I went through the back door, and saw a large paved parking lot, with Denny's across the lot. Some distance away was a small median, about 2' x 5', with grass in it. This is a dog area? Breakfast was included in my room rate, at Denny's next door. But the coupon was for dine-in only, no take out. So I'm supposed to leave my little doggie in the freezing cold car while I eat? I don't think so. Take out does not cost more. It costs less: no server, no dishwasher. There is no excuse for this policy. I paid for breakfast, but I didn't get breakfast. The room was not very clean. I noticed grime on the light switches and tv remote, and the microwave was filthy. The heater was so loud that I could not watch tv with the heater on. The heater woke me up every time it switched on all night long. The tv has 4 movie channels, but no guide in the room to tell me what movies are on. How much does that little piece of paper cost? Doesn't Showtime give them to the hotel for free? There was no electrical outlet near the bed for my phone/computer. The lamp at the desk had an outlet on it, but the lamp by the bed did not. Overall a very disappointing experience.
We paid a little extra to have a "suite". It was large and well decorated, however it apparently had pets during the previous visit, because we found dog hair and food (dry kibble) in the carpet. Upon checkout, the man at the desk, who was more worried about the civil war football game, didn't seem to care about my issues with the suite cleanliness. Only mentioned that the rooms on the 1st floor are pet friendly and that he'd "tell the staff". We were very disappointed
I am struck by the number of 5-star reviews about this hotel. At best, this is a 3-star hotel. It is a hotel that evokes the 1990s period, with zero-to-few updates and maintenance. Plenty of scuffed, marked, and chipped surfaces. It simply has not been updated at all in the last 20 years. Public areas showed their age the most. The bedroom section of the room did look like it had been updated within the last five years. But not the bathroom. Still, the hotel was kept fairly clean and there was nothing really gross about it. Just old and tired. The front desk clerk was super friendly and energetic, and he made us feel very welcome. Breakfast was served at the Denny's across the street. If the price is low enough, the hotel may be worth it to you. But if you pay a high price, you may find yourself sorely disappointed.
My family and I checked in this afternoon for a 2 day stay while we are in Salem for a racing event. I booked the hotel over the phone with a Best Western rewards member as I was redeeming a free night with my rewards points and online booking was not available. Upon arriving to the hotel we tried to check in only to be assisted by a rude receptionist whose tone of voice from the beginning made it a horrible check in experience. I picked this hotel as it had good ratings and reviews for service, cleanliness, and amenities. Our room was clean upon arrival and the employees in the hall were very welcoming as we made our way to our room, the complimentary breakfast and other amenities are great additions to the rooms but I expected better customer service at the front desk.

Great staff, they went out of their way to be helpful and did it with a smile from each of them! Very nice lobby presentation. This was an easy access for our business needs. I would recommend for business and pleasure stays.
Friendly, clean rooms, nice pool and good location. Free breakfast at Denney's had a good selection to choose from. The team lived the fresh baked cookies and hit chocolate machine! Nice place and I would stay again!
At check in, Ashley did a great job; friendly, outgoing, competent professionalism. I also want to give Monica at the front desk a big attagirl for her help in accommodating a safe and secure area for me to park my pickup/motorcycle trailer. A fellow Army Veteran (didn't get his name) who unofficially works there keeping an eye on parking lot security suggested I speak with Monica reference a more secure place to park than where I had parked when I arrived. I very much appreciate her (and his) help. There's a reason I stay at Best Western; this is a good example of why I do.
Excellent BW. Clean , quiet and you get a coupon for breakfast at Denny's next door. Very helpful staff to help you find restaurants and points of interest. This is the second time I have stayed here. In addition there is a Costco across the street for gas and anything else you may need.
Very nice place to stay,I really recommend it staff are very nice and Willing to help,very convenient and lots of parking.the restaurant is also clean and filled with good employees. I really love the whole experience.
Everything about the Best Western Plus Mill Creek Inn in Salem went smoothly. From the time I pulled in the parking lot to the time I pulled out of the parking lot, it was excellent. Thank you to the staff for making my stay a very pleasant one.
We usually stay at places where we've had previous positive experiences for twenty years or so. But, after reading reviews of Mill Creek Inn, we booked it for one night on our way from Washington's Olympic Peninsula to CA. Every aspect of the stay was very pleasant, beginning with friendly and speedy assistance with our luggage on a rainy night, and freshly-baked cookies offered at the desk. The rooms are spacious, nicely appointed and very clean. A complimentary delicious breakfast was made available across the parking lot at Denny's. We're definitely putting this Inn on our regular route from now on.
The rooms at this Best Western Plus were a cut above the usual. Our room had a a lounge chair and kitchenette. The king bed was firm and nicely prepared. The included breakfast is provided by vouchers for the Denny's across the parking lot. The hotel staff were friendly and attentive. The only drawback to this hotel is location: it is surrounded by big-box stores (Walmart, Costco) and is some distance from downtown and the capitol.
I'm here on a one night business trip, but I would quickly recommend Mill Creek Inn for a vacationing family as well. Most of our reviews are written as we travel the Western United States on our motorcycle, but today I'm writing because I'm so impressed. First, the basics: John was the Manager on Duty and checked me in. I watched him with others while I waited and then as he welcomed me to the property. Over the top, friendly, knowledgeable and spot on is how John works. The property is up to date, clean and very comfortable from the lobby, hallways, and amenities. Room is very nice, excellent WiFi, large TV, comfortable bed and again, spotless. Nice desk, adequate number of power outlets (No USB ports) good lighting, the small touches make a better experience. The pool area includes, a large pool, hot (hot) tub with good jets, a nice exercise room and a dry sauna. More than I expected and I think a family with kids would really enjoy this property. Very nice business center as well if you need a printer, etc. It's too close to home for us to stay here on our summer adventures, but I will certainly stay here for every trip to Salem, and I highly recommend this for you and your family. Again, staff is the face of the place and John should be teaching customer service and service culture ! Thanks for making this a great one night stop.
Travel for work quite often to Salem Or. Coworker made reservations for us at another hotel. Upon arrival was told only 1 room booked not 2 and told several times manager was perfect and never makes mistake. Also said not calling you a liar but we manager never makes mistakes. Not once did they try to make it right. I call Best Western Plus Mill Creek & told them of our dilemma. We needed 2 rooms for 4 nights and needed to check in immediately with state rate discount. Not only did they accommodate us but they apologized for other hotel being rude to us and allowed us the rates we needed per our contract!! CUSTOMER SERVICE AT IT'S BEST 10+++++++++++
Great reservation set up, very pleasant front desk check in, knowledgeable and very informative. Very clean spacious rooms! Denny's restaurant and bar/casino on property with hotel discount, free breakfast!!! My only place to stay in Salem, Oregon!!!!
Overall really enjoyed this hotel. Nice appearance. nice staff. we stayed here for work and I was pleased with the room and the appearance of the lobby. the breakfast was good at denny's and the room was clean, the bed was nice, very good service overall and would recommend to others for certain.
We booked at this hotel because of the positive reviews we found on all of the hotel sites, including the BW site. Upon arrival we were greeted warmly and the clerk made us feel welcome and she was glad we were there. Our room was clean, smelled good and had all of the amenities promised. It was quiet and nicely appointed. The free breakfast is provided by a limited, but very adequate, menu at Denny's next door to the hotel. This Dennys is slightly run die and needs to be remodeled and brought to standards. However, we had good meals there which were much better than almost any hotel breakfast we ever had. The hotel guest also get a generous discount for dinner, too. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.
This hotel has very comfortable rooms and provides a safe pleasant experience. A nice pool is also available. Close to the Salem Airport and a Denny's restaurant is located next door for convenience. Only two miles to downtown Salem for many entertainment options as well as superb restaurant choices.
We've stayed here several times in the last six or seven years. I'm 73 and have stayed in dumps near airports and five star wonderful places in Europe. Nothing has given me more for the money than this place. It is a classy hotel with all the usual things for that, big room, great mattresses, pool, fitness room, wi-fi that really works easily, plenty of free parking, etc. But it is the little things that just keep adding up. The cookies on arrival, the free water in the rooms and fridge, the in-room coffee maker that makes good coffee without a fight, etc. The breakfast is a coupon at Denny's in the parking lot and you can get healthy food there, but this is getting too long. The hotel maids and staff seem comfortable and friendly and I asked a maid about conditions. She said they got health insurance. I like that. We pass through Salem every few years. I-5 is like living on a high-wire but this is a great place to stop, especially if you are going to be living in a hotel in Salem for a few days.
when I called and made reservation staff was rude on the phone and it continued on to the staff at the front check in and they made my reservation's with the correct date and sent me a confirmation number and then changed the dates. the room was nosey and the internet did not work at all they said it was because I was to far away from the router overall the stay was terrible
In August 2016, dissatisfied with past stays at Comfort Inn and Red Lion, we decided to try this hotel, and found that we'd made an excellent choice. The staff were unfailingly courteous and accommodating, the room was not enormous but well-appointed and comfortable, and the coffee bar was stocked with numerous sorts of delicious coffee. We are smokers, and this hotel has actual smoker-friendly smoking areas outside the exits with seating and ashtrays. When we asked for a downstairs room convenient to the exit, with easy access to the smoking area in mind, the staff gave us just such a room. In October 2016 we stayed for 5 nights at another hotel, and when our plans changed (due to movers' lateness with our furniture) we had to find another place to stay on short notice. Best Western Plus Mill Creek got us just the room we wanted, again. We checked out the next day, because the movers were supposed to show up with our things. They didn't. We called Best Western again, this time on 6 hours' notice, and once again they came through for us, with just the room we wanted, AND a bargain rate! Salem hotels just don't come any better than this.
Room was well appointed and up to date. Just off the I5 and close to restaurants. Molly was welcomed by staff and given treats. Would go again. Didn't like the Denny's for breakfast. Too full and unfriendly servers. Quiet room, nice bathroom too and two chairs in room so we could both sit.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Pool and workout facility were clean. Coffee service was Seattle Best - very good. Room/bed were comfortable and room was clean. The internet access was very reliable.
I've been staying at this location since 2008. The owner of this property has consistently improved and updated the facilities over the years which really impresses me. Clean with attractive and comfortable accommodations. Staff are kind and helpful. Great location. It's my home when I'm traveling for work.
My daughter goes to college in Salem, so I need a go-to hotel when visiting her. I expect the Best Western Mill Creek Inn will be it. (I used to stay at the La Quinta, but I found their air conditioning system to be a little inadequate during my most recent visit. The Best Western is literally across the street.) The hotel was by no means luxurious, but it was nice, and modern, and comfortable. I have no complaints. Biggest plus ... instead of the standard hotel breakfast bar, they give you a coupon for Denny's on the other side of the parking lot. Much better food, much better coffee, etc. than you'd get if the hotel did the breakfast itself. All in all, I'd stay there again, and probably will.
Great hotel, clean, large rooms and friendly staff; however, Best Western Plus is billed as having pillow top mattresses,much needed with my bad back, and room 308 did not have a pillow top mattress nor did it have a nice mattress pad. Needless to say, I did not have a good night's sleep. The mattress was firm. You will get a full breakfast at Denny's across the parking lot.
I was very impressed with the staff at the Best Western Mill Creek location. I was in town for a stressful event and John, Ashley, and Ivy went out of their way to help make my stay as good as it could be. I would highly recommend this location
The rooms are nice and breakfast at the diner is good. The manager was very friendly and helpful at check-in. The rooms were quiet at the top floor even though the hotel was fairly full. When we come to the Salem area we like to stay at this hotel. We like to visit the nearby wineries.
I normally don't like chain hotels, but this BW was exceptionally clean, recently upgraded with nice furnishings and style. It was also dog friendly which was perfect for us. I would recommend. The breakfast which was included was across the parkibg lot at Denny's but was certainly adequate for our stay.
The room was clean, large, the windows opened, the AC as well as the heat worked. Opened the frig and there were two bottles of cold water. Breakfast is included at the Denny's across the parking lot. Just a wonderful stay.
We spent four nights here while visiting our daughter, and it was great. The room was clean and quiet. The beds were comfortable (although probably not the best f you want really firm mattresses). The staff was friendly at all times of day. I was a little skeptical about the free breakfast being at Denny's, which shares a parking lot with the hotel. But it worked out great. The hotel gives you a voucher that specifies four or five breakfasts to choose from (including bacon & eggs, pancakes, oatmeal, fruit). No hassle from Dennys in accepting the vouchers. We used the pool and hot tub, and they also were clean and comfortable. There's nothing but Dennys in walking distance, but you're right near the highway and maybe five minutes drive from the Willamette campus and downtown Salem. We will definitely be back.
I am in the Salem area 3-4 times a year and each time I stay at the Best Western Plus Mill Creek Inn. The staff is friendly and efficient, rooms are clean and lobby is always neat and tidy (and decorated during the holidays).
I stopped over here while on a cross-country trip. It was a very nice hotel and the staff was very friendly. The manager asked me all sorts of questions to get me the best, discounted rate and then offered me a cookie. My friends got a separate room for them and their pets. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable. The front desk can provide you with some toiletries if you forgot something (I forgot a razor and they gave me one with shaving cream). The shower was heavenly and the whole experience just helped me relax after a long day of driving. The manager took care of the noisy teenagers staying on the 3rd floor so everything was nice and quiet. Breakfast was at the Denny's located right next door and you get a variety of choices for free, though you'll pay extra if you want more. The hotel offers free coffee which is better quality than the Denny's. There's all the other free amenities you expect: wi-fi, business center, breakfast, cable, etc with a few extras not commonly found. Overall a great experience.
after a short drive to Salem the family including pet needed a break. we always stay at BW as a family and this hotel is a newer model with great seasonal décor that pleased the children. They were fully booked for the local O Ducks game but it did not hinder the service of the staff.
Perfect for our needs and our pets...nice room and friendly helpful staff!..stay here twice a year for our trip to horse shows and State Fair. Perfect location.. Highly recommend it to anyone with pets, as well!
My experience was great from the time I entered the hotel. I was warmly greeted and given great, great service from the male clerk on duty. Unfortunately, I neglected to get his name. The rooms were spacious, comfortably outfitted, and the hotel was quiet. The only complaints.....no guest service book in my room or in a traveling companion's room. I also wish they would have provided a breakfast at the hotel instead of a coupon for breakfast at Denny's.
I have been staying at the Mill Creek Inn for over 15 years. The staff are wonderful and treat you like family. They constantly work hard at making each stay comfortable and provide excellent guest service.
Rooms are clean and spacious. Well decorated and the staff are very polite and accommodating. It would have rated a five star Plus, but for the really crappy Wi-Fi setup and the awful TV. It took forever to figure out how the connect my iPad to their network - even their tech guy had problems doing it - bt we did it after over a half hour of trying! The TV - is another matter. It was so dark that all scenes looked like they were night shots - including CNN front desk. We gave up and stopped trying to watch after I tried to adjust the brightness on the TV. It was locked up so you could not adjust. Time to get with it and install a good Wi-Fi network and replace those tired old TV's. Then you'll get my five star rating.
I routinely stay at this hotel when I'm in the area for business. The place is clean for the most part. I'm not a Denny's fan so I don't take part in the free breakfast program at the hotel. The staff is always very pleasant and will bend over backwards to assist guests with anything they need. I will continue to stay at this hotel when business takes me to the area.
I stay many times a year at this hotel for business purposes. The staff are always very friendly, and the rooms are clean and spacious. I like being able to spread out and have a couple options for work space; either the desk or table. Breakfast is next door at Denny's, but for those that don't have time, such as myself, they have a "sack breakfast," with some morning treats.
I travel to Salem often and have tried many different hotels. BW Mill Creek stands out as one of the best!!! I love getting a hot chocolate on my way to my room. Desk staff are always friendly and helpful. Rooms do not smell like old smoke and are very comfortable. I usually arrive late at night and John is always in a good mood and makes me feel like I am a welcomed guest. Thanks Best Western Mill Creek!!!!!
The BW Plus in Salem is a good motel and a fair price. I found this to be the best BW property I've ever stayed at in my 49 years. The staff and facility were great. I'd definitely stay here again if I ever make it back to Salem.
All staff members went out of their way to help me with my considerable luggage. I had presentation materials, and computer, boxes of things I didn't want to leave in the car. They helped on both entry and leaving and wouldn't accept a tip unless pressured to do so. Wow.
the staff was the best John front clerk fun fun fun, Made you smile when ever he was on. We were there for family reunion and he put us all together, Kids enjoyed the pool a.housekeeping staff wonderful.rooms always clean. The only down side this best western does not have a breakfast buffet, You have to go to the Dennys next door which is way to small to handle all the people from hotel.
I never stayed at a BW that offered a breakfast coupon for the Denny's next door! It was a nice change from the usual crummy breakfast you get at most hotels The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was large,clean and comfortable. Best morning coffee I had on the whole trip! We will be back!
Absolutely no complaints about any of the staff - uniformly friendly and respectful. We noticed that some of the other guests were kind of a handful, but the staff didn't deviate from their high professional standards. We requested a ground floor room, and they actually had one for us! The room was good - not palatial, but what do you expect at a BW? - with increasingly rare amenities such as in room coffee, an alarm clock radio, and an effective climate control unit. As smokers we were pleased to find smoking areas outside the building, but still furnished with comfortable chairs and tables, and protection from the elements. The complimentary coffee bar was great. Had occasion to make heavy use of the business center, where all the equipment was in good working order. A pair of caveats: (a) apparently the carpets don't get cleaned that often, because walking around barefoot in the room resulted in very dirty feet; (b) my wife had a late-night accident in the bathroom and cut her arm, and unfortunately bled on the sheets; housekeeping came in and made the bed up but didn't change the bloody sheet! Otherwise a good experience. We would definitely stay at this Best Western again.
A good and conveniently located hotel. A good restaurant and other facilities. Reception was very help full and friendly. Rooms were clean although the late finish of cleaning staff was slightly irritating. I would stay here again next time that we are in this part of the state. Paul Calgary, Canada
Decided to stay overnight in Salem, and was able to get a room at the Best Western Mill Creek. Comfy and roomy, although had residual odors of a smoker. Blehhh!. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Location well suited for us, central location.
Very comfortable nights sleep, all the amenities except for an in house breakfast...but that was provided just a few steps away. Would like to bring the grandchildren back for a fun stay in the future!
John, the clerk who assisted with our check in, went out of his way to give us a wonderful deal on the room and suggest a great place for dinner as well. We certainly enjoyed our evening and the restaurant suggestion was taken and enjoyed as well. So glad he took the time to help!
Best Western Mill Creek Inn in Salem is my go to place to stay in Salem. It is across the street from a Costco so you can safely walk across the street. They provide a discount dinner coupon for the Denny's on the same property as well as a coupon for free breakfast with five choices. I got there just in time for hot cookies that they have in the evening. There is an indoor swimming pool. It is a very nice place to stay, Decor was very welcoming. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. I felt safe in the parking lot and enjoyed my stay.
This is a good hotel. My room was clean, had nice amenities and was reasonably comfortable. The front desk employees were friendly and pointed me toward a couple of their favorite local restaurants. The hotel has convenient access to the highway.
Front desk service was 4 star...rooms 3. They were clean but average aged. Nothing special...friendly front staff with helpful restaurant tips...big downside is the vouchers for breakfast at dennys...really? I'm used to in hotel breakfasts. Even the voucher was limited as to menu choices and the Dennys was terrible...see other review. They need to change this pronto!!!
Best Western Mill Creek Inn in Salem Oregon has always been a very lavish place to stay. All employees have always been very nice and helpful. Rooms are very spacious, clean and the beds are very comfortable. They offer a breakfast ticket for Denny's, that is on the property as well. Easy and convenient.
I stayed for one night, the staff was courteous and professional, I loved my cookie! It comes with complimentary breakfast at Denny's which is right there in the parking area. The rooms was PRISTINE, the beds comfortable, everything was JUST PERFECT.
One of the nicer Best Western hotels we have stayed in located just off Hwy. 22, but very quiet. Spacious king room with all the amenities, plus a double recliner. Appreciated the bathroom night light. The "breakfast included" was across the parking lot at Denny's. Not my first choice for breakfast!
I normally state at 4 start hotels for work, My experience at this hotel has been unmatched in staff attentiveness and an eagerness to help.Nice clean hotel, friendly staff and a nice location. Staff were knowledgeable about the community equal to any concier I have used.
Friendly staff, nice pool, clean rooms, convinient location. We just came in after 8pm and got two rooms with best possible rate. Half an hour from Silver Falls State park. They provide vouchers for breakfast in Dennis across the parking lot which is really helpful for family with kids.
great experience. I really enjoyed the workout center and found it to offer a full range of equipment along with the pool. The relationship with Denny's works out well and is appreciated. The newspapers are also a nice touch. Again, the non-electric entry doors are an inconvenience when you are carrying items in both hands.
A warm welcome and friendly service from John at the front desk followed by a spacious, quiet room. We had a relaxing stay following a long drive and couldn't have enjoyed a nicer experience. Lots of little touches made our time here very enjoyable and can't recommend the Mill Creek Inn enough if you're looking for a pleasant place to stay in Salem.
Wow. Sooooo clean. Staff is very professional and friendly. Rooms well appointed. No make- your- own waffles here! They concentrate on giving you a good motel experience and leave the breakfast to the professionals at dennys. Four choices for breakfast that included two drinks. My fav...the egg white breakfast. We stayed 2 nights visiting family. Will definitely make this our go to motel in salem from now on. You can see my review of Shiloh Inn in July on trip advisor. Then you will understand why we are so happy to find best western.
Accommodating place. Room was approximately 350 square feet, double lavatories, decent soaps and clean, Beds were soft and saggy. Room was quiet and provided uninterrupted sleep. Front desk sponsored Chocolate chip cookies on check-in. Free morning newspapers and a free breakfast at Denny's next door.
This was a nice hotel that was clean, convienent, and close to lots of food. The Dennys next door was great for breakfast. Only issue we had was when checking in I had reserved the room but another family member was paying. They would not let her have key until I came in and signed even though it was under comments she was paying then made her sign same form. Really? Ok to take payment then make me come in to inital a form. Made no sense.
I was in Salem for my nieces wedding. If you can afford to stay at this location, I highly recommend it. The beds were comfortable, staff very friendly and helpful, breakfast was at Denny's, and could have used more then just a couple pieces of bacon or sausage with the pancakes and French toast. But the two egg breakfast was decent. I traveled Solo but my parents and sister and her family were just down the hall. Very nice place to stay.
The staff was very nice and was greeted with a cookie which was very good. Night staff was not so up on restaurants in the area other than going downtown. We found one a few blocks away and it was very good. Costco is across the street which was fun! Breakfast at Dennys is included and they let you substitute some items as what they offer is limited. Clean, easy to get to, quiet. Served our purpose in Salem!
This Best Western has the friendliest staff along with very comfortable rooms. We have stayed at this location when travelling through Oregon for over 25 years and have never been disappointed. The rooms are well presented with nice quality linens. We love the change of pace for breakfast by being given a voucher for breakfast at Denny's.
Welcomed with a cookie upon checkin - enough said! Breakfast provided is a voucher to attend Denny's and choose from a small selection of items. This was a relatively nice hotel for the price you pay, however might be on the older side as the floors creaked like you were about to fall through. During our stay, my colleagues and I rented a conference room that was set up really nicely, however you must set up the projector they provide you. Coffee and water were an additional $25 which may be a little excessive. Located about 15 minutes from downtown Salem
If you like going places and not be connected, this is the place for you. The hotel itself is very nice, the staff is great, but there is barely an internet connection. It's so slow that it will not load web pages from time to time. If you disconnect from it, then come back to reconnect, you have to mess with you settings to get the login page to come up again to be able to use it. It's a real PAIN IN THE YOU-KNOW-WHAT! Step into the present Best Western!
I stay here every time I come to Salem for work, it has always been clean and quiet, be careful to lock your vehicle and hide valuables since we have experienced vehicle break-ins a few times, this can happen at any hotel. I love the breakfast being at denny's in the same parking lot.
This place is always very good for business travel. It is quiet and located near everything I need to access. The breakfast is good and is included in the price of the room. I have been staying here for the past 20 years and this hotel is always updated well taken care of and friendly.
My husband and I checked into the Mill Creek Inn based on Tripadvisor reviews. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful with directions. We were very pleased with our room and the hotel's overall cleanliness. If we are visiting the Salem area again, the Mill Creek Inn will be our first choice for lodging!
We've stayed here before and are always pleased but they are still on top of their game. New carpet throughout looks great and makes it look so fresh and clean. New room air conditioners are quieter and the pool was the perfect temperature this time! They've added closet doors and I liked the way it was before but I get it. Staff always very good. Price a good deal.
Nice clean hotel. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. The location is great for easy access to the freeway in either direction. The pool is great / you can actually get some good laps in after a long day.
This has got to be the best Best Western ever. Spacious rooms. Tremendous service-friendly and efficient. Great location. Great value. We had a full Jeep Cherokee for our son's move to college. All that stuff fit easily into the room and we had plenty of space left.
Professional staff greets you at the front desk, Lobby is clean and bright. Pool area was very nice and although I did not use the exercise room it also looked well kept. I thought the level of amenities in the room was nice, it was hot out that trip and the bottled water in the fridge was a nice addition ( to be honest, could have been placed there by my husband but I think staff put it there.)Laundry facilities are available and easy to use. I felt secure there, even in the parking lot that evening as we went across to the Denny's next door- which also has a very personable staff. You won't be that far from Silver creek Falls State Park when you are in the area- it is beautiful and if you hike- you will be impressed. If you are working in the area there is a Home Depot very close so getting supplies and tools is easy. During the summer months don't forget to check out the racing in Albany,Lebanon,Eugene and my favorite Cottage Grove Speedway for some great dirt track racing for everything from sprint cars to go carts- no complaining if ya get a dirt clod in your beer either or you'll be considered a wimp.
The staff and hotel are great! I stay here for both business and personal and have never been disappointed. The rooms are clean and bright. They have updated the rooms and building. The breakfast at Denny's is a bonus and the staff there are great too!
The rooms are clean and spacious. The staff is very friendly, professional and very helpful. The breakfast selections at Denny's were great, good portions and healthy choices. The price of the room is a great value for your money. The location is convenient to shopping and dining.
Stayed one night en route from Portland to SF Bay Area, stopping to visit relatives. Facility was clean and comfortable and quiet, and as other reviewers have noted, the double sinks were convenient and the free breakfast at Dennys next door was a nice perk.
If you are looking for a hotel in Salem look no further, this is it. Each year my daughter and I stay here for our annual trip to the Enchanted Forest. Ashley checked us in, she was very welcoming! She asked what we were planning for that evening and when I told her we were planning on seeing the movie Pete's Dragon she looked up the movie times right away and wrote down the theater's address without me even asking her to. Its wonderful to be treated so warmly upon arrival. There's complimentary tea, coffee, and hot chocolate in the lobby. The rooms are spacious and have been recently updated with new carpets. I love that the rooms have double sinks, one inside of the bathroom and one outside. There's a microwave, fridge, and coffee maker in the rooms. I also love that they offer 2 complimentary bottles of water in the fridge. An extra nice touch are the mints on the nightstand. The one thing the room is missing and I'd say it needs to be added are black out curtains. The hotel has a large indoor pool, jacuzzi, and private saunas. There's a large free parking lot, free WiFi is available in all the rooms, and a free breakfast is offered at Denny's which shares the same parking lot. At check in you are also given a discounted coupon for dinner at Denny's. The hotel is only a few minutes from a Regal movie theater, lots of restaurants, and shopping. If the hotel is looking for any tips to make it even nicer I would suggest slippers and robes. It would be great to have robes to go down to the pool with. Keep on traveling!!
Stayed 1night . The rooms are very clean no noise other than ac unit. Rm246. You get a 15 percent discount on dinner for Denny's next door and Free bkrfst same place . Denny's has come up a lot lately but I was still disappointed in bw this is a plus bw ? Sorry but for the price I'l stay at holiday xpress.
The room was extremely spacious and bed was comfortable. Having a double sink was convenient so that someone can use the shower/toilet and someone else can use the vanity sink. The papaya soap was lovely. Having a lighted magnified cosmetic mirror was a nice touch. Very comfortable room overall.
This hotel was one of the nicest, most affordable places I have ever stayed. The gentleman at the front desk - Chuck was very friendly and knew I was in a rush to get to a wedding, and went out of his way to check me in quickly. Our room was exceptionally well decorated roomy, and super clean. I had just had a horrible experience at the hotel I stayed at the night before that cost me much more, and to check into such a wonderful facility as this was especially nice. I would highly recommend this facility!
Absolutely amazing place to stay! Well worth every penny no matter the cost. Rooms are beautiful and beds are so comfortable. Customer service is too here and it shows with every employee all the way to housekeeping. The feel and culture here should never change! And as a plus the breakfast you get is Denny's!!! Love the pool and little wading pool for the kids too!
Stayed at BW Mill Creek for a Conference. Convenient off I-5. Easy to get downtown. Very clean and roomy. Quiet rooms. Got in late, friendly staff. Fast internet and quick connection. Didn't use free breakfast at Denny's next store. Love that Costco was across the street!
We used this hotel whilst we were on a road trip, we were welcomed by a very enthusiastic John who was very friendly and as it was part of a holiday for my birthday offered us a suite that happened to be available for a great rate, the room was very clean, breakfast included at Denys was a bonus, friendly staff, lovely hot tub and even some sun loungers outside to catch a few rays - all great, thanks for going out of your way to enhance our stay.
Nice friendly staff! Great prices and comfy clean room like always! Great location for us for traveling across Oregon. Right around the corner from famous Dutch coffee-drive thru ;-}' Would come back here again!
was in town for fun and stayed here. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The room was also very nice and clean, and had everything that we could have asked for. the staff member at the desk suggested a room on the third floor if we wanted something a little more quiet. excellent suggestion !! Was with a friend and we both agreed on how friendly and clean this hotel was. would definitely stay here again !!
This hotel is convenient to downtown Salem, about a 5 minute drive. Free parking and limited free breakfast at adjacent Denny's. There is a small inexpensive laundry room on the main floor and free parking. The room was very large with a seating area, with couch and lazy boy chair. There was also a 4 person table and desk. The rooms were clean and the staff friendly and helpful.
Over the past 15 years, I have come to rely on the consistent service and amenities this property offers. Regardless if I am traveling for business or pleasure, I always receive a warm welcome from staff that are attentive to my needs. The location is fantastic to easily access various sites around Salem.
The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful we were always greeted coming and going. Check in and out was quick and painless. The hotel was clean, very quiet and the decor was tasteful and pleasant. I forgot my razor and they gave me one at no charge. You get a free breakfast at Denny's.
Great place to stay. Clean and quiet with friendly staff. It's also pet friendly. They do not have the usual breakfast found at BWs. They give you coupons for breakfast at Denny's next door. It's a nice Denny's and the breakfast is very good with several options. If you have a need for Costco(food or gas) it's right across the street.
nothing was out of place, everything was clean, pool was clean, staff very helpful and courteous....best night of the trip. We flew in by private plane and scheduled a pick up and return to the local airport. Worked very well and they were on time.
The rooms were great size. Staff were attentive and polite. The hotel in itself could use some cosmetic updates. They are close to the Interstate for easy access. They offer a complimentary breakfast to the Denny's right in front of the hotel. Parking can become an issue if you arrive during Denny's busy time. Overall, I would stay here again.
I had a King room on this visit and it was nicely appointed and very comfortable. The room was very clean as was the facility in general. They do not have breakfast at the hotel, but they give you a coupon for Denny's which is in the same parking lot. This was a nice change. I would definitely stay here again.
Always enjoy staying at the Best Western. Friendly staff are always present and attending to your needs. The pool and fitness center are better than others in the same area. I would recommend it to anyone.
I always expect the rooms to be clean. The rooms to smell nice and be well thought out. This hotel doesn't disappoint. The real value is the ladies that man the desk. They have gone way out of their way to help us with restaurants and local spots to go to. Outstanding staff here. Next time I am in Salem Oregon I will be staying here.
It was a great place to stay. The front desk staff was very helpful and friendly. The room was nice and large. The hotel was very clean and inviting. The sauna, hot tub, and pool were well maintained.
Great place to stay, well located, just off the freeway, right next to Denny's, very clean rooms, nice pool and spa, and a great little exercise room.. Staff are very friendly and very helpful in getting you what you need.
Overall -- outstanding! Your staff was very helpful. My wife was in a wheelchair and your personnel rushed to open the door for us. The offer of the breakfast at Denny's was great; however, we didn't take advantage of it.
This is a well maintained property, very clean, close to but sheltered from the noise of the nearby freeway. It is conveniently located on major arterials for travel about the city. The staff are quick and courteous, and the guest amenities are what every traveler could want or need. I travel a lot on business and this motel is one of my top favorites.
Over several years I have found myself quite pleased with stays at the Mill Creek BW. Staff, rooms, convenience of the location to city roads and the I-5, and the swimming pool for early morning laps are all very helpful.
My wife and I stayed at the Best Western Plus in Salem in 2007 and I'm pleased to say that our stay some nine years later was every bit as enjoyable as our first experience. The location is excellent and the staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Our room was large, clean and comfortable. An overall winner.
Stayed 3 nights while visiting family in the area. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. There was a remote control for the heat/AC unit. There was a sink in the room as well as in the bathroom of this handicap-accessible room. The sink in the room drained slowly. Shampoo/conditioner/body gel dispensers in the walk-in shower were slow to dispense. Not sure if that was the design or they were plugged. Would be nice if attention was given to detail. One wall looked like it might have been patched at the bottom, and it needed to be painted to match the wall. The security chain on the door looked like it had been pulled out, too, as it was not flush with the door. Other than these small issues, the room worked well. I would stay here again if in the area.
Our stay at this hotel was exemplary. Everything from the staff, the lobby, to the rooms was great, including the beautiful chandelier in the lobby . The hotel appears to be undergoing a renovation so we look forward to staying here after it is done. The only negative was the maintenance staff never came to address our slow drain after reporting the problem to the front desk. Otherwise thumbs up!
John always greets me with a wonderful smile, calls me his peeps and goes above and beyond what any other hotel I stay. I really enjoy my time when I come to the property every month! The location of the property is just right, the atmosphere is on point, and just an over all general blurb; I am very satisfied with the property.
Traveling through Salem and just needed a clean, kid OK spot for the night and it worked well. Very nice pool area w/ hot tub. Sauna an unexpected bonus! Easy to get to off I-5 but far enough that it's quiet. Clean, nice lobby as well. Kids very impressed with the chandelier - made them feel like I was spoiling them.
We have stayed here numerous times ,as we have some business to attend to in Salem and also have family to visit. Mill Creek Inn has always been clean and the staff friendly. It has a convenient location , close to I-5 , Costco,and with Denny's next door for breakfast or drinks in the evening .
Everything a family needs for a stopover on a road trip. Indoor pool, free breakfast at Denny's next door, all the resources one would reasonably expect (laundry, pet area, spacious rooms, fridge and microwave, strong wifi, laundry, vending, etc.). When we checked in, the clerk gave us cookies, bottle water and let us know he was at our service even if "there's a washcloth out of place - just let us know." Passing through Salem, this is the place to stay.
Room is spacious, has mini fridge microwave and they have coffee all day long at lobby. It's close to Costco wallmart etc and Denny's breakfast Is just nice. Front desk staff are professional and friendly and location has easy access to anywhere, with a car of course. Better than Grand hotel at Salem which I also stayed.
Looking for the best place to stay in Salem, on a 12-night road trip around Oregon, we walked into the hotel and were greeted by John the manager, and immediately we knew we had found "the one". (And we're the kind of people who will drive around to 8 or 9 area hotels before deciding.) Not only did we feel right at home, but we were into a fantastic room within 3 minutes! It was just the most incredible service. The room was fantastic and exceptionally clean and comfortable. Kudos to the entire team of folks who make it happen at Mill Creek.
The property is clean, inviting and convenient to Denny's & a local lounge. The rooms are moderately comfortable given the seating consists of two table chairs & a desk chair. (I like at least one comfortable chair, recliner or couch to unwind after a long day). The room did have a small refrigerator, coffee maker (Seattle's Best provided) and a microwave. Overall it was very quiet at night, no road noise whatsoever. The rub is although I was directed to the free WIFI (BWMillCreekInn), other than connecting initially, I was unable to to connect for the remainder of my stay forcing me to find the nearest Starbucks a few miles away each day. The hotel does not have a breakfast or a manager hosted happy hour, but it does provide coupons for a Denny's within walking distance. That said, the coupons provide the very basics, two eggs, toast, pancakes, coffee, NO SUBSTITUTIONS. This property is good for tired travelers who need a place to crash for an evening but may be a problem (especially if you have teenaged children who stay connected electronically with their friends) for longer stays.
The rooms in this hotel are noticeably bigger than average. In addition to the two beds, there was a small desk and a small table with two chairs, but the room did not feel crowded. There was a microwave oven and a small refrigerator with two bottles of water. There were two sinks, one inside the bathroom and one just outside. There was a lighted concave mirror in the bathroom that is helpful for shaving. The receptionist was friendly and the check-in process was quick and painless, and they give out cookies at check-in. There is a Denny's Restaurant across the parking lot, and at check-in you receive a coupon good for your choice of five different free breakfasts. The in-room wi-fi was free and worked well. There was one convenient electrical outlet in the lamp on the desk, and a less convenient outlet underneath the desk. It would have been helpful to have an outlet on the small table between the beds for charging a phone. It is not close to downtown Salem but it is close to Interstate 5. Overall I was very pleased with this hotel. It is better than most of the Best Westerns that I have stayed at.
I was booked into a suite for my 4 night stay. As I was traveling with a puppy, I requested a ground floor room and this request was honored, even though I checked in a bit early. My suite included a living room, dining area, full kitchen, and separate bedroom and bath. All were comfortable. The staff was attentive throughout my stay. The only negatives were that there was no restaurant or bar onsite, which meant a default to Denny's next door, or a drive. Also, there was an area in back of the rear parking lot designated for relieving dogs, but it was full of thistles - not the most comfortable footing for my pup!
The Best Western in Mill Creek is definitely one of the "best" Best Westerns we have ever stayed at. Clean, good service and having Denny's available for food is as convenient as it gets. Always a pleasure to stay at Mill Creek in Salem.
This was a great hotel. Comfortable, pool and Jacuzzi were very night (a must for us!) Staff was very friendly and accommodating! Best place we have stayed in Salem, Oregon. Will definitely stay here again!
Good place to stay,at a central and easy to reach place in Salem, with spacy rooms and friendly employees. All services o.k. including good wifi. My guess is that rooms at the back are more quiet, so that might be advisable.
We had a great time staff was very friendly and helpful,would stay again if need come up for hotel, we love the pool and hot tub also sauna room would have loved it even more if there was a steam room available
We had a king size bed that was very clean and comfortable. The bathroom was clean and comfortable. We were there for just a short time. The service was friendly and prompt. The breakfast at Denny's was a treat. .If we are in the area again we'll stay again.
Confusion over a comfirmed reservation. Mumbled incoherently when I showed the confirmation number and somehow managed to "find" my room. King suite is way overpriced. Regular room with 2 queens is more comfortable with 2 separate vanity areas and BETTER priced! I felt as though the reservation staff were scamming me to say that only a king suite was available! I had been staying here for the past 5 years and had high praise for this establishment. It must have changed to shoddy management now!
I had chosen this hotel when I was planning our honeymoon, in part, because of some of the other positive comments I read. I am glad I booked. I did not request the Honeymoon suite when I booked, but when I told the clerk of our trip he immediately put us in the suite with no extra charge. I found the hotel to be clean and orderly. I also found our stay to be quiet. I do not care of bumping or people talking loudly or running in the halls at all hours of the night, and we did not hear much of anything. WiFi was accessible with no problems. I also used the work out facilities and found them adequate for my needs. I would recommend this hotel for others in the future as we enjoyed our stay.
This BW is under going a remodel. But don't let that stop you. It was very clean and fresh. We were there on a weekend and didn't see any work in progress except a fountain in the lobby. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They all loved to chat with the customers. The rooms were very spacious and clean. They give you a voucher for a free breakfast at Denny's which is located on the same property.
We have stayed at this hotel when visiting family in Salem for many years. The location is convenient and the staff is friendly. Rooms are large and clean. We enjoy walking to Denny's next door for our complimentary breakfast rather than battling a crowded hotel breakfast room. There were issues with the electronic key card system during our stay. We were told that the system will be updated soon.
I've always preferred Best Western due to their quality of amenities from the room to the toiletries. The rooms are always clean and the staff helpful and kind. Their location has always given me great access to the interstate for easy on/off travel. They are also located near sites to see, good food and safe environment. That's why I always choose Best Western if they happen to be in the town I'm doing business at and that way I can focus on what I'm doing there job wise and with the accommodation with internet I can continue working in my room when necessary. Thank you and keep up the good work.
the rooms were clean and up to date. The front guest staff were great. A full breakfast at Denny's was included in our stay, go early as this is right by the hotel and gets very busy on weekends.. We brought our service dog and facilities for her were available.
Stayed here for my second visit to Salem based on previous one. John at the reception desk makes the stay even more enjoyable. All the staff are equally friendly and helpful. Rooms could use a few more easily accessible outlets near the beds. Television in our room was blurry. Coffee in the lobby is a plus for early risers. It will be my go to choice when visiting.
We only stayed one night at Best Western in Salem but it was very pleasant. It was comfortable and clean and Ashley, at the desk, was very pleasant and helpful. The hotel sits next to a Denny's which served us breakfast with a number of choices and we enjoyed that. There are several other restaurants within a very small area which could have served our needs but we weren't around long enough to take advantage of them. The entire stay was lovely in a beautiful region with a positive, if short, experience at the hotel.
We actually landed at Best Western Plus Mill Creek after leaving a horrible commuter hotel in neighboring Keizer, OR. Matt at the front was cordial, kind and uber professional, even though it was after 10 pm. We had no reservation but Matt happily quipped "that's ok," offered us their AAA Rate, gave us complimentary cookies, our keys and meal vouchers for the Denny's that shares a parking lot with the hotel. Hotel was clean, bright and freeway close. The room was quiet and the breakfast bar was perfect for enjoying a snack and our morning coffee. Great stay!
This property is perfectly located for exploring the Salem area. After a bad experience at a Best Western in Woodburn, we were a little hesitant about this place, but we were very happy with our 3 night stay here. The desk staff were friendly and informative- so nice to encounter people who sincerely like what they do and have the social skills to make a difference for their customers. Kudos. I'd especially like to thank Jan, who was so gracious helping with checkout. We will be returning.
Stayed here for work for several weeks and have not been disappointed with their customer service from the friendly staff, their amenities, and spacious rooms. They have kept my room clean and stocked as soon as I get back from my work. Other than the complimentary vouchers or the discounted coupon to Denny's restaurant, there are restaurants and shopping centers nearby for more options to dine and shop at.
Stayed here for work for one night. Staff was friendly, bed was fairly comfortable, facilities were nice. No restaurant or bar on site. There was a Dennys in the same area, but I didn't take advantage of the hotel discount. I would stay here again if I have to visit Salem again.
The man at the front desk made our stay! We were there for one night but their hospitality and connections to their customers made me wish we stayed longer. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. Excellent for level of accommodation. Down to earth real people made the experience. Thanks!!
Awesome pools for kids and adults, clean and beautiful. Happy, friendly staff, no problems at all, just a good , memorable experience for everyone. we booked 2 rooms and it was just right for the little girls, moms and grandmoms.
My husband and I stay exclusively at Best Western as we can depend on consistantly great service. The Mill Creek Inn is one of the best we have stayed in. Easy access on off the freeway and complimentary breakfast at the close by Dennys Restaurant.
Great Location, Management and Desk Staff not very knowledgeable or friendly. TV reception very poor. Restaurant at location is convenient but poor staff. Expected better for the price and brand that we are paying for.
Wonderful all around. We have stayed at the best Westerns for many years and this is one of our favorite ones. The location is great close to shopping and has a safe feel , Rooms are comfortable and quiet and the staff is kindness and helpful ask for Sheryl at breakfast best server. Would stay at this Hotel anytime. Real pleasurable
Easy access off the freeway. Accommodating, knowledgeable, friendly staff. Comfortable rooms, for me, great beds (not hard like so many hotel beds). Great pool and hot tub. Sauna is private (a real plus as far as I am concerned). Close by everything I needed. Even in traffic, most trips were around 10 minutes. Breakfast is provided by a gift card to the local Denny's. Historically, not my favorite place for a meal, but I must say this one was different - speedy service, experienced and friendly wait staff and the food was prepared just the way I ordered it. Given the way the hotel operates its voucher program, you are going to pay for juice, if you also want coffee (didn't like this aspect of the program. That makes for a mighty expensive glass of juice that would normally be included in a "hotel's breakfast").
My arrival in Salem began with renting vans for a workshop I was there for and they had Pandora 70's soft rock going there. I kind of miss the old days of being a young kid hearing soft rock like Air Supply, Ambrosia and Bread playing at repair shops, doctor's offices and elevators. I stayed here for business in early May. And this place had a sweet little soft rock playlist, too! I hadn't heard Marty Balin's 'Hearts' in a couple decades, and it was very nice to hear. A nice intro to my stay here. Their breakfast offering is a voucher for breakfast across the lot at Denny's. A nice gut bomb to start the day! The last hotel I visited had shared bathrooms. They had a sink in the room. I admit I had used the sink for purposes other than handwashing. This hotel had two sinks! But luckily it also had a shower and a toilet. I don't remember much about the hotel beyond that. Which is a very good thing. It was what I expected in a moderately priced chain hotel. I would certainly stay here again.
Stayed for one week, Door key card was the biggest problem where it would not work all the time. had two cards and had the same problem with both cards. Front desk fixed it right away. They need to move the smoking area away from the doors!
Booked several months beforehand for a special event. Specifically requested a quiet room on top floor away from the elevator. So we get to the 3rd floor and the room is directly across from the elevator. Down we go back to reception. Staff then says with a thinly veiled fake politeness that they are all full and the only room she can offer me otherwise is on the first floor. So we don't have any choice but to take that. Old, creaky floors and bed. Then discover most of these 1st floor rooms are used by people with pets since they allow pets. Dog hair on furniture and faint smell of pooch also. I love dogs, just don't want to smell or sleep with their hair in my hotel room. Soap dispensers are a nice idea to save on packaging and be more green, however much less hygienic as the goop accumulates on the bottom and are not cleaned well. Just take a tissue and wipe them and you'll see what I mean. These so called smoke free hotels are often old hotels that used to be smoking and you can still smell it. Also people hang out and smoke right outside the side entrance so even though the sign says 10 feet, if management puts seating right there, what do you expect? The final straw however was the old blood stains on the white sheets. Nice thing to see when getting into bed...my husband already asleep so did not bother to tell him as it was on my side anyway....he would have flipped Im sure. Disgusting. Not any value for money, IMO.
When we walked through the front doors we were already in a 911 toddler potty training emergency when Jen the recepsonist greeted us. She instantly recognized our potty emergency and directed us to the bathroom. After we finished she took the extra time to talk with our daughter and offered her cookie. We appreciate Jen's great customer service and the extra time she spent making our daughter feel at home. We got a good rate on the room and the room was very clean which is much appreciated with having a little one. We may have found our new go to place when visiting the Salem area. Thanks again Jen.
This hotel is a nice place to stay. Very clean facility, very friendly helpful staff. They do not have a breakfast in the hotel but they give you a coupon to use at the Dennys accross the parking lot. They have a nice pool and jacuzzi. This is my 3rd stay at this hotel this year and would highly recommend. The only negative thing I can say is that there TV reception is not very good.
Have stayed here with large groups and small. The staff takes care off all your needs regardless of the size of your traveling group.It's easy access to I5 and restaurants and shopping (just in case you forgot something!).
Stayed here several times now. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean. Very central location for where ever you need to go in the area. Even though your right by the freeway and airport, the building was quiet.
This is our second time staying at the Best Western Plus Mill Creek. The hotel staff is accommodating and the rooms are clean. We could have paid for a cheaper hotel but like the location, employees, amenities, and cleanliness are hard to beat! I would stay there every time we visit if we continue to take our trip.
Right from the start, we were treated very well. The manager, John, we so helpful and knowledgable about the area and knew his stuff. We hadn't booked but we were offered a free upgrade to a suite, which was superb. The price includes breakfast at the Denny's adjacent to the hotel and also a reduction for an evening meal. This is a great hotel from which to explore the area and after travelling round for a week, it was nice to stay in one place for more than a night. Highly recommend this hotel.
Quiet clean at a good rate. Just what you would expect from a Best Western. The people working behind the counter were friendly and helpful. Be sure to ask for thing to do in the area they had some good thoughts on what to do in the area.
Pros-John the manager was amazing, friendly, and extremely helpful. He knew about the area, what time to leave to get to certain areas etc. He went above and beyond for us. The price of our room for a king mini suite, was great for us to be coming from out of town. This hotel is only 2.5-3 miles from down town. The hotel offers free bottles of water and fruit for on the go, you just need to ask the front desk. You also get a free cookie when you check in. Now the Cons- There is no free continental breakfast, but there is free breakfast from Denny's next door. Make sure you get a breakfast voucher from the front desk. You only get 3 choices to chose from and they are not all you can eat. The coffee in the rooms and down in the lobby were not that great,(pretty weak flavored) I wish I knew were a good coffee place was besides starbucks. I would love to have woken up and had some amazing coffee. The tile in the bathroom needed to be re-grouted and the shower curtain did not keep the water from leaking all over the floor in the bathroom. The carpet in the bedroom felt weird on barefeet, so went to wash my feet and they were dirty. So maybe the room needs to have the carpet shampooed? All in all, I would come back to Best Western. It was also close to I-5,so it made getting places pretty easy.
This is one the nicest Hotel stays I can remember in a long time. I have stayed at many locations and was expecting what I normally experience. Dirty carpets, roughed up furniture sloppy cleaning in rooms presented for guests.
The room was clean and had all the things I would expect (iron, ironing board, hair dryer, soaps, shampoo, mini fridge, microwave etc) and a few nice extras (cookie at check in, cold water bottles in the fridge). Costco is across the street which is convenient.
It is a very nice hotel, close to shopping as well as downtown Salem, state offices, and I5. Free breakfast at Denny's right in the parking lot. I have stayed many times it is my hotel of choice when working in Salem.
When our door lock quit working, the staff went above and beyond to upgrade our room and help us move our luggage. The upgrade did not cost us any extra money, which is a pretty big deal these days. The added benefit of hot Denny's breakfast right in the same parking lot really topped off our trip.
We were on a road trip and found this hotel to be nice. It was clean and convenient to the freeway. We found the price to be high for an average room, although the room was bigger than some, it was still "standard" in our opinion. The breakfast that is offered is a very limited choice selection at a Denny's across the parking lot. We would have preferred an in-house breakfast that we could have just grabbed and been on our way. The desk staff was extremely friendly, and I felt that had we had any problems they would have addressed them quickly.
What a nice, clean inviting hotel. A cookie upon arrival and complimentary breakfast at Denny's next door the next morning. Staff was friendly and made me feel so comfortable after a long drive. Slept so good. Bed was awesome. Thank you!
Great place to stay...Very nice for pets...great food options included..so convenient to our venue...in Salem for horse activities twice a year and this Hotel is perfect...Good Dennys restaurant right across the parking lot!...Very nice staff!
The rooms were just fine, not great, but not bad. Appreciated the glass coffee cups in the room. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the rooms were clean. .Cookies were a nice touch, but not necessary.
Chose BW on way home from California trip, traveling with 2 small dogs. Were pleasantly surprised at the very nice accommodations, conveniently located on 1st floor for easy access with the dogs. Cold bottled water awaited in the in-room fridge, cookies on check in, and to-go bags with fruit and water available at front desk. Nice touch! Only problem was uinable to call front desk, due to lack of instructions on the phone. dialing "0" only got me a dial tone. Internet instructions were not offered on check in, hence my need to contact front desk. Glad it was not an emergency!
An overnight stop during a trip South , we found this hotel to be one of the best BW's that we have recently stayed in. On arrival we were welcomed at reception, by very friendly and helpful staff, and were upgraded to a large superior room. The room was very large, with sitting area, and a small kitchenette, with fridge and microwave. The room was spotlessly clean,as was the bathroom, with good amenities. Breakfast was at the adjoining restaurant, Denny's,and very satisfactory. Other than the pool and hot tub, there was also a sauna and exercise room. We will definitely stay here again.
Wonderful trip and i will recommend to my friends as well for sure. It was really nice and comfy. The rate was a little high but its ok. The staff was friendly as well. The location was good the only thing was the breakfast that was not good as the denny's provide usually.
We had no reservation.....I asked for their lowest rate, I was given their "standard" room which had 2 queen size beds. Later I discovered that a room with a king size bed is generally less expensive. While in the lobby I overheard a clerk on the phone quoting rooms at a considerably less price than what we were offered (over 40.00). Also witnessed someone checking in at a much cheaper rate than what we were offered. When questioned, the staff said, "it is what it is"! Not a happy consumer
This hotel is easy to reach off I-5. It is a bit dated but very clean and well kept. Staff is friendly and efficient. There was a nice breakfast next door at Dennys. I went about 9:30 and got right in and out. Some people complained it took too long, but that was not the case for me. The hotel does offer a grab and go bag with some snacks and drinks if you are in a hurry. There is a clean and well kept exercise room, sauna, and swimming pool too. Overall this is a place I would definitely stay again.
We were very satisfied with the cleanliness and larger sized rooms. Having 2 sinks separate rooms was perfect for a family of 4. Very friendly and efficient hotel staff was appreciated. Even though I prefer a softer mattress, the firm mattress was ok. It was quiet and a convenient place to stay in the Salem area.
Very good motel experience....higher end of the BW chain...I would come back here again. Easy to get around the Salem area from this location...easy access to I-5...Costco right across the street. Room was clean...bed was very comfortable...Internet access seemed a bit slow, but worked fun once it got up and running....staff was competent and pleasant...
Very nice hotel with larger than average rooms and a very nice lobby area with super comfortable chairs and a 24 hour coffee bar. Our room was very clean and modern. The pool area was very nice with a large hot tub and individual sauna rooms - a great feature you don't find in many hotels.
The hotel room was excellent. The last room available was a suite and our very friendly and smiling girl at the lobby, gave us a reduction in the price. Room was clean and roomy and I can't say enough about the courteous staff. I would definitely stay here again! It was very close to the interstate as well.
I have stayed a 5 STAR hotels in the past and believe me when I say that this hotel ranks right up there with them except for the complimentary breakfast offered by Denny's. I fully understand the business decision to partner with Denny's for breakfast but Denny's doesn't share the core values you experience by staff at the hotel. You are comparing apples to oranges between the staffs and service received. I can tell you that you will not find a more competent, caring, total customer satisfaction experience anywhere that is equal to what you receive at this BW hotel. The owners should be proud of the effort put forth by John and others to make you stay here as comfortable and safe as you would experience in your home. What an example for other BW hotels to emulate.
This hotel is always clean and the staff is exceptionally friendly. The decor is a little dated but it appears that they are updating slowly. I wish that they had their own restaurant and you weren't sent to the Denney's next door. I view Denney's as fast food style which I try to avoid.
This is an older building in the middle of renovation so don't let it discourage you. The newly remodeled rooms are bright and cheery. There is very little noise from the remodeling work going on; most people wouldn't even realize it except for the sign in the lobby notifying guests and visitors of the construction. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The housekeeping staff is top notch and the rooms are clean. Pets are welcome and pet friendly rooms are on the first floor. I was happily on the third floor not to aggravate my allergies. The pool isn't bad, a good size for a hotel pool. They have a nice little workout room with a variety of equipment and some free weights, there is large hot tub and wonderful sauna rooms. Breakfast is provided at Denny's restaurant that is just across the parking lot. All-in-all, a good place to stay for the price.
Stayed here when I dropped my daughter off at Willamette. The rooms were clean, and it is a great location. The breakfast at Denny's was a great way to start the day. The staff was great. John gave me a great route to run, and Beth, Jen, and Katherine always greeted us with a smile, answered our question, and helped us with anything we needed. This will be the first place i check when I get to go back to Salem.
