Hampton Inn Salem, VA

Staff was friendly and courteous and hotel was clean, but...the hotel is nearly finished with a renovation and there were a number of issues we found with the room. The room is large sized and had two queen beds in it with a lot of room left over. Rather than use that space, it was just left empty. Which wouldn't have been bad if it had some better amenities. The wardrobe closet was small and we couldn't hang a dress or pair of pants in there because it was too short. There were no drawers to put clothes in. The bathroom did not have a vent fan, so it became very steamy when showering. The common breakfast area is not set up for families, almost all of the tables were two-person seating. Because it was Virginia Tech grad weekend, the rates were jacked up nearly 300%. The room cost us $381, and the same room a month later is $138.

Great hotel. Stay here a few times per year as a stop on a road trip. Location is excellent right off 81 and close to several options for dining and re-stocking items needed. Very comfortable, friendly service, great breakfast. Indoor pool is good for kids too.

Very convenient location. Extremely clean. Stayed there with my toddler and front desk person was awesome wtih her. Gave her a little snack bag at check-in as I booked the wrong location and had to wait for Expedia to switch locations for me. Beds were very comfy and my toddler loved the little pillows on the beds! :) Would definitely stay again!
