Howard Johnson Hotel & Conference Center by Wyndham Salem

If I could rate this place a negative 10 I would. Dirty, cracked sink, cracked toilet, duck tape holding broken window together, non working blow dryer. When checked in was told tv service was out. I now see that this has been the case for months! Do not stay here! Pictures on line show a simple but ok place. They are a lie! I only booked here because everything else in the area was booked. We actually considered sleeping in the car! I went to Walmart and bought garbage bags and lined the bed and pillows in plastic and refused to sleep under the covers. It also wasn’t inexpensive. AVOiD, AVOiD, AVOiD. PS I also noticed that the outside elevator hasn’t been inspected since 2023 according to the certificate. Should be shut down!

Would not stay here again

Cable didn't work. Had issues with key card. The price was good. Recommend that they start remodeling their bathrooms and to include heating and cooling unit

Hotel is near 100 years old and looks it. Hotel is deteriorating, no ice machines, no tv. Hotel should be $49 a night.

The good part is that it's cheap. The bad part was that the room is filthy, holes in carpeting and furniture, no trash can, no Kleenex, furniture from the 70s, and has a lukewarm shower. Don't stay here unless it's your only choice (as it has been for Hokies games or Metallica concerts). Oh and the view of the hills is nice though.

The hotel condition is horrible. Cigarette burns all over the bathtub, burns on bedding. Wet and sticky dirty carpet. Covered up holes in bathroom door, and sink counter had parts broken out. The front of the hotel had massive chunks of concrete that were missing with exposed rebar. Surprised this place is not condemned. It is pretty rough.

The room was clean. But the tv did not work. The coffee was only set up for one person but there was two beds and four of us. The breakfast was not that great either. No gluten free options for my daughter. The checkin was pleasant but that was about it.

Everything

I understand you get what you pay for. However, the TV did not work and the buffet breakfast was virtually non existent: no juice, butter or knives. Could not recommend this establishment

The building is disintegrating, the ceiling is falling down, walls crumbing, dirty bathtub, door knob and lock were loose. This place should be torn down. We walked in and booked another hotel after seeing how horrible this place was.
