At checking we were greeted warmly and with comfortable conversationRecommendations for dinner were shared freely and with exuberanceOur room was clean, very clean and modern

The bed was extremely comfortable with decadent pillowsThe bath area was clean down to the corners and even the vents; I checked!The water pressure was perfect and the shampoo and soap offered was very nice Not drying like some othersI highly recommend this Marriott for any stay needed!

Krishna Paul

Stayed here for a few months for work Was one of the best hotel experiences for me! There were occasional social events with free food Breakfast bar was delicious and had variety! They have communal laundry machines and dryer room for convenience

The gym was nice but a little limited in equipmentRoom service was great and convenient They came to clean often and did a good job!Located right next to Costco so that was convenient!

Ryan Farnan

Great staff and amazing service – everyone at the hotel was very accommodating We had a big room and we were able to take advantage of the gym and breakfast (even when we missed the timing, the staff grabbed us a few things)We needed to make a couple changes during our stay, and the team at the hotel was very friendly and consistently on top of things

It made our stay very enjoyableThank you!

I was part of a wedding party that stayed here Because I was with the bridal party all day and the hotel couldn’t give me an early check in (which is fine), I couldn’t check into my room until after the wedding Check in was easy, thought the room was great until I saw a used pair of eyelashes on the bathroom sink

I packed my stuff and decided to leave because I thought if they didn’t see that, then how do I know they cleaned everything else? Explained it to the manager and she assured me that if I reached out to the people I booked with and requested a refund, she would back me up and make sure I got My refund My stay was on 6/30 and I initially received an email saying that they were looking into it I’ve reached out several more times with no responses and no refund I was really grossed out by the lashes and did not feel comfortable sleeping in the beds Wouldn’t recommend staying here unless you can check in early enough on the day to ensure the room is spotless, as it should be

Frankie Watson

Absolutely amazing place to stay My family and I went down that direction for a little vacation The pool areas were very clean and the kids absolutely loved both the indoor as well as the outdoor pool

The hotel was very clean and accommodating and the staff was very nice and helpful to my family, and made them feel right at home and welcomed The breakfast café was amazing absolutely love it Definitely plan on going back as soon as we can!

David Pearson

My room didn’t have the fireplace and the hot tub as told it would This was ok since I was there for wedding reception and I was stag I did have pool and hot tub to myself

They were both great well lit and fun chairs Pool was great for laps Margaritas was great Great service there Breakfast took a while to get seat at in the hotel Breakfast was tastey Check out was supper simple

This is our 2 time staying here and both times it’s been a all around great little getaway! The rooms are very clean! Our 2 time we stayed we were in a smoking room and for a smoking room it didn’t smell as bad as I thought it would’ve for a smoking room It’s very quiet at all times of the day The only downfall is the walls are very very thin, the water pressure is horrible and the fact that their is no microwave in the rooms we have stayed in

They do have little mini fridges with a freezer The rooms are very spacious and have double sinks Meaning one in the bathroom and one right outside the bathroom which is very nice It’s very outdated but it is very home like feeling when entering the rooms! You can’t complain really for the price cause your getting way more then you would at any other place around that’s for sure! The rates are great! If your looking for something cheap but nice this is the place for you! Never have seen any riff raft here when I’ve stayed which is nice! Always pretty respectful people!

Dave Atkins

I was a bit apprehensive about staying here due to a few negative reviews that I had read and things that I have heard in the past I was pleasantly surprised to see that improvements have appeared to have been made I was greeted by Brian at the front desk and immediately thought he was the owner, just by the way he spoke and presented himself

It turns out he was just, as he put it, “2nd shift front desk associate”, he had a solid knowledge of the area, as well as a strong knowledge of Boston Medical Center, where my wife was having hip replacement surgery ( our reason for being in the area) Brian made us feel right at home and even offered to help with transport post-operation My room was very clean & comfortable, nice quiet area, and easy access to restaurants and shopping centers I’ll definitely book again this summer when we return for follow-up Thank you Brian & everyone at the Park View Inn

Christine Jenks

Clean, quiet room, friendly employees (Matt, Ryan and Jill are awesome) some rooms are being remodeled, very comfortable beds ( I have a herniated disk and pinched nerves and slept like a rock, better than I have all last year, which says a lot) comfortable couch, vintage bedroom furniture that gives it a nice mom and pops run atmosphere Right off the highway, walking distance to everything- groceries, restaurants, shopping, gas etc No other place in Salem NH is closer to everything you could need or want

They also have extended stay rates, and reasonable prices

I would never ever book here again I do not suggest anyone should It is highly unsafe for out-of-towners

I booked a 2 night stay and on the second night, my room got broken into and luggage was searched I was not in my room when the event took place but found out once I got back around 2am My room door was wide open once I got back Fortunately, it was a short stay and nothing valuable was packed and I had all of my jewelry with me at the time It took place some time after 930pm There should be no reason for cleaning service after 930pm so I truly feel as if I was targeted and it was a planned ” robbery ” They have got to do better to keeping their guest safe and the last thing their guest should ever worry about is their safety I would say im happy I was safe the 1st night and they were kind enough to refund my money but its a little traumatizing to know something bad could have taken place on the 2nd night

Dee Gee

This Best Western is so spectacular, I can’t say enough good things about it I am a picky guest and I’ve stayed at numerous hotels in my life I’ve worked in the hospitality industry for five years as well, so I have very high expectations for guest courtesy and customer service

Brian, the general manger, went above and beyond for me I wasn’t satisfied with my room and he personally made sure that I was assigned to a room of my liking He is kind, caring, sincerely empathetic, and efficient He is a great asset to the franchise and they should be proud to have someone like him representing them Evan at the front desk is wonderful as well He is friendly, sincere, professional, and efficient He is knowledgeable about the hotel and the area and answered all of my questions while being the charming, friendly soul that he is This is a great place to stay because great people work here It is clean, friendly, and affordable What more could you ask for??

Kelly Kube

I did not have a good experience Here are some of the reasons why:-The front entrance was packed with people smoking cigarettes all hours of the day-The hotel smelled like cigarettesThe room was grimey, especially the bathroom

– There was a lot of suspicious vehicle traffic happening in the parking lotAll and all, this hotel was dirty and smelled I would never stay here again

Great place overall Beautiful curb appeal all the way around the hotel We are in a single bedroom room and it’s amazing

When you lay in the bed your body just slightly sinks into a great night of sleep And I have a messed up back so I’m extra critical of bedsMy under light in my microwave went out They came to fix it and tried 2 new bulbs Realizing that it wasn’t just the bulb the changed out the whole microwave They could have just said ” we’re sorry it just doesn’t work” But they didn’t They changed it out to make it right Been here 3 days now and it’s been awesome

Harry Grongstad

Rented a suite for a week The setup was two bedrooms separated by a living room/kitchen Rooms were clean

The beds were fine as well, however they need more choices in pillows My whole family thought the pillows were too firmTvs in all rooms

Nothing Here

Be wary Under construction Filthy

No front office No food No drinks No pool No regular housekeeping Seriously! All the amenities described online are unavailableI would have expected an alert during booking or nearer to arrival that the hotel would be completely down for maintenance Especially for Memorial Day weekend Hopefully we can find an alternative hotel or just stay away all dayTrash bags line the halls outside of every other door and guests meander around collecting supplies carting them off to their rooms Stains, hair, grime, greasy fingerprints, and layers of dirt welcomed us to our suite The kitchen houses broken GFCI outlets and appliances that have seen better days Inexplicably the entryway floor is new This can’t be the same 3-star hotel reviewers are raving about cleanlinessExceptionally, the staff are amazing and wonderful I don’t know how they manage

Wanda Morgan

Every little detail was perfect: the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was spotless It was a good night’s sleep on the bed Noise should be kept to a minimum

The staff was really helpful and polite The only thing I didn’t like was the lack of a complimentary breakfast COVID concerns have led to this restriction That makes sense When you run out of cream cheese one day, you run out of jelly the next Everything is alright if you can live off of yogurt and coffee

Matthew Mattis

Hotel was clean, presentable outside and the staff was friendly Pool was closed, gym was limited (not sure to really call it a gym) and breakfast ran out of food Always hot coffee in the front, front desk did not acknowledge Diamond member, nor did they present the bag (I had to ask for it)

Everything else was Hampton Inn quality, always a nice stay But, definitely fell short of what it normally is

Holly Edney

Booked this hotel through Hotelcom in March 2022 Stay was paid in full at time of booking

When I checked out the front desk person told me there was a problem with my card and charged it again It’s been 3 weeks since my stay I’ve called the hotel twice both; both times was told there was no manager on site Also called corporate customer service All admit there should have been no charge to my card but no one has reversed the charges yet DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL

Melissa Knight

The location of the hotel is great You are 15 min from the Salem NH mall area and 20 min from the Lowell area They have a decent breakfast with eggs, sausage, assorted breads and muffins, cereal, hot oatmeal, yogurt, and a waffle maker

The indoor pool was busy as it was a hot weekend The rooms are plenty spacious but show their age Everything is carpeted so if you have allergies, beware! Our ac unit didn’t work great We had it set as low as it would go (66) and when we returned from a scorching day on the softball field it was 74 in the room It’s also a loud unit We could hear the people above us which was annoying The bathtub had a super slow drain which left the tub dirty after washing all the infield dirt off of us Just a few little things that make it an overall ok experience

Thomas Martin

This place was very nice Larger than usual hotel rooms, good amenities I took off one star for the room because mine smelled off

They had a carpet cleaning company in my room that day, and it probably just needed to air out more, but it was still something to manage I opened the window to air it out and it was tolerable after about 2 hours

Brandon Fazzino

I was on a business trip up here for a few days, and my company made reservations for us at this hotel The front desk staff were very friendly, the hotel and rooms were clean and the beds were more comfortable than many other hotels I’ve stayed at The prices are also fair

Next time we’re up here we will definitely stay here again Thank you for making us feel welcomed!

Did not enjoy my stay Single elevator that is in use by the staff most of the time I was on the 4th floor and had to use the stairs more then I’d like especially since I had to carry things for work

I was told by reception on arrival that the pool closes at 8 each day Then on my 3rd day suddenly the pool was closed by 7 The hours weren’t posted The reception rudely said it’s on the paperwork you signed while signing it You have to cross a parking lot to get to the pool Breakfast was not good Coffee was terrible Some staff were friendly but others demonstrated true lack of care for guests and their job I have to come back again for Business and will be finding a different hotel

Bill Sweeney

Very clean Great location with the highway, gas, food and being proximate to Lowell, Andover surrounding towns I am a Marriott guy and can get a room for a reasonable number of points

But, big but, it seemed to me that there were a lot of longer term resident families there Also we were there when a basketball tournament was in the area and they were all staying here So that meant loud yelling and running kids outside our window at 11, 12, 1 and 2AM Basketballs being dribbled until the wee hours of the morning Hoopties crusing through with the bass cranked up to “eleven” so my window rattled, people honking their horns, rolling out of their cars to laughter and stomping their way to their rooms above us Kids just wandering around the property looking in car windows I am all about a good time but there is also such a thing as courtesy and respect for others Most of the residents the night we were there didn’t know the meaning of the words Management needs to have security walking the grounds and just get it all under control

Tj Rose

First and foremost, the “concierge” was dead asleep behind the counter when we arrived and did not seem too thrilled we woke him up! Not a huge deal to us but it set the tone for the stay for sure! We walk into our room and the first thing my wife and son see is a cockroach running across the the electric burners! So at that point we either go down to angry guy and request a new room most likely being put in something worse or waste precious sleeping time searching our entire room! We stripped the room and searched every inch! Found one more! For what they charged we expected a lot better!!! Do yourself a favor and book with the Fairfield Inn as we were going to and immediately regretted not doing! We’ve stayed in many hotels before and this by far was the worst! Aside from the really small “suite”, roaches, loud and unrestricted neighbors who were never checked in on even at 3am while they partied very loudly, people smoking at the pool and leaving their kids to do as they wish (nobody from the hotel ever came to the pool btw) and other issues the breakfast was decent lol! I voiced my concerns to them and was ignored having never received a response at all! Not what you would expect from a Marriott hotel!!!

We had our wedding here The landscape is absolutely gorgeous, especially in the spring months when the flowers are bright and blossomed So thankful we found this place and was able to have our wedding here

We’ve also dinned at the Resturant on site The food was delicious each time We’ve had breakfast here once and a few dinners It if was closer to us, we would certainly visit a lot more often!

Richard Deal

We had a birthday dinner party in the Stagecoach Grille Room on a Saturday at 1pm Meals tended to priced higher for the quality of food received I asked for the Chicken Oscar, but it wasn’t available until 4pm, even though all meals were available at lunch and dinner hour

So I ordered the steak tips which were cooked to order, but average

The food is very good to excellent, nice presentation The dining room is appointed well, dark wood paneling, nicely carpeted, white linens, fresh flower and small candle on each table The menu has a variety of options but not typical fare and not overwhelming

Service always top notch, staff is knowledgeable about the menu and preparations A bit pricey, two of us tonight had split an appetizer, 1 soup, 1 salad, two dinners( $25 & $32) 1 glass of house wine and split a desert- $12500, but not out of line considering the quality, service, and atmosphere All in all, a very pleasant dining experience

Very pleased with our stay! My friends and I stayed in a two bedroom suite The full kitchen was very useful All staff members I interacted with were incredibly pleasant and accommodating to our group

Had some housekeeping and drainage issues, but both were taken care of as soon as it was brought to staff attention Pricing was great for the room, but we paid essentially what we would have spent at a closer hotel to downtown in rides to the city Convenient location if just visiting the Salem area

Veronika Rzucidlo

With family just 10 minutes down the road, my family and I thought this would be the perfect place to stay when we come to visit During our first visit in November 2021, we thoroughly enjoyed the rooms, specifically the kitchens in the rooms The hotel was calm and quiet, even though it was full occupancy due to a festival in Salem

My husband finds the beds very comfortable, which is a great compliment coming from him However, during our last visit this April 2022, we were disappointed in the service and activity transpiring in the hallways Our hotel room had about 1/5 of a roll with no additional rolls provided You have to go to the front desk (which may be in a different building) to pick up anything you may be lacking (eg, soap, towels, toilet paper) The shower gel dispenser in our bathroom was empty Every night during our stay, the hallways reeked of MJ When I called down to the front office, the manager on duty cut me off and said he would “check on it” before I could even finish my sentence, making me believe that he just didn’t care There was a lot of noise in the hallways after 10 pm with people running down the hallways, going into each other’s rooms, slamming doors, and yelling down the hallway During our last night (a Sunday), at 11:30 pm, the manager on duty even came to the room across from us and kicked out those guests (reasons unknown) 2 police officers even came to make sure they left We initially loved this place for the price, location, and amenities, but we aren’t certain if we’ll return for a third time

Mike M.

I don’t know what’s going on lately but I haven’t had good experiences with IHG lately, which was my go to hotels This isn’t a typical Candlewood, but rather a converted TownePlace Suites hotel The new layout leave a lot to be desired

Another mixed bag, in another state:Pros:*Gym and small shopping center behind hotel*Free laundry*Easy check in*All dished cleaned (left in diswasher)Cons:*Parking fills up quickly (small lot)*I had to change rooms due to the first room being in such disarray (pics attached)*Thin floors as you can hear every step above you*People not going outside to smoke weed*Something happened that needed police to be called

Martha Dray

Rooms are decent I was there during the 2 foot snowstorm due to work needing folks close by and able to get to work And they did not plow their parking lot until late Sunday night

The only reason one could get out was because truck drivers were spending the night and they flattened one lane enough to get by That was really bad The Continental breakfast is pretty awful All microwaved and processed food So it was okay for my purpose and I wouldn’t recommend it if I was coming to the area to stay in though Nicer places to stay with much better food options

Malina Coleone

Pools heater was broken so it was freezing They don’t even bother telling you like it was my main reason to go there in the first place Even after covid pool hours still didnt change (same time & only weekends)

My room felt dirty I saw hair everywhere all over my bedding and pillows, it felt like it was never even cleaned I used to love this hotel but not anymore Never going there again Thank you for these last few years though

neil henry

Most of the time the Hotel seems to be clean yet there’s always situations that never get resolved Things seem to break down and not work Researching the owners “The Jamsan Group” out of Lexington MA seem more content with buying more hotels vs making sure the ones they already own, have what they need to make the existing one’s more efficient

Shortages of towels and linens and removing the outside dumpsters that smell are just some of the reoccurring issues the owners don’t consciously address My gut instinct making money 1st and caring about their patrons less

The customer service was excellent The room on the other hand was gross The bathroom floor as well as my bath towel had hair on it

The desk was sticky from a previous guest spill The coffee condiments had been used by another guest but they had not been disposed of or replaced The floor had not been vacuumed The bathroom ceiling had mold all over it We were traveling and I desperately needed to sleep for a few hours otherwise I would have left

Feedback From Real Customers

Yup it’strue

We booked an overnight stay here while on business in the City The Inn looked recently remodeled , updated and modern The lobby was both welcoming and spotless

Front desk staff were pleasant and efficient, making check- in and check- out a breeze Ample parking, well lit and secure, even the parking lot was clean! We stayed in a double, the beds were comfortable, clean with plenty of pillows The bathroom was oversized, making it easy for two people to be in it at same time if needed Hot water on demand and water pressure was superb A full length mirror, iron, hair dryer, closet & hangers, desk, chairs, blackout curtains, refrigerator w/freezer, microwave, coffee pot, ice bucket, all cups individually wrapped & sealed a bonus! Best complimentary breakfast ever! Toast, bagels, coffee, tea, orange juice, iced tea, cereals, fresh fruits, yogurt, waffles, butter, syrup, milk, half & half, jelly, peanut butter, sugar, sweetener, plenty of dining space They nailed it! Walk out the front entrance and turn left and walk five yards to Chili’s Restaurant & BarL Turner

I love this hotel! The beds and rooms were nice and comfortable The hotel is clean and has a nice pool Check-in was easy and everything was clean and comfortable

They had a good selection for the complimentary breakfast, including waffles, eggs, sausage links, cereal, yogurt and bagels Only thing I would say is that breakfast could be a little later It’s over at 8:30 It would be nice to have at least until 9 or 9:30

Basic accommodations, but clean with a comfortable bed The bedding and bath towels were clean The bathroom, refrigerator and microwave were clean

The front desk staff were pleasant and helpful Check in and check out was quick and easy They offered a decent breakfast at the hotel We only stayed for one night because we were in town for a Red Sox game, but we would definitely recommend this La Quinta Inn and Suites if you are visiting Boston
