Travelers Inn - Motel in Salem - 3230 Portland Rd NE, USA

We were frankly not expecting much because this motel is not in a very good part of town, but we were very pleasantly surprised. The room was immaculate, freshly painted, sparkling bathroom, quiet, the beds were very comfortable and the temperature was just right. We will definitely stay here again. There is a nice big TV, fridge, and microwave. Almost no road noise or next door neighbor noise. It looks like new owners or staff that have worked very hard to really fix up the place.

The room was clean, and quiet. The beds comfortable and spotless. There was a big TV and a nice clean refrigerator and a great shower. We will definitely choose this motel again.

Ok first the pros. Rooms very clean, staff very friendly and attentive. Great rates for long term weekly stays. Room looks remodeled carpet no stains, room smells pleasant. Overall great for the price. Cons: needs more electrical outlets. Internet not very good. TV cable in and out. That's about it.

Positive: It was decently clean, but room was very small with a weird restroom set up. It had a small desk and dessert in the room. Negative: It was a dive. It looked like something you'd see in the red light district. It really needs some updating, with better amenities. No fridge, no microwave, no coffee pot. It was very tiny, tcked in between two bigger ruins Negative: ""

Positive: Three minutes away from the Salem fairgrounds. Next door to a great Chinese restaurant. Staff is friendly and efficient. Negative: ""

Room 116 is a FIRE HAZARD!! The outlets are so loose and the outdated appliances are all connected by extension chords due to the lack of working outlets. My partner and I noticed a couple of the appliances had the third prong removed from the plug in order to fit into the somehow even more outdated extension chord. Since that third prong is the grounding prong that protects the user from being electrocuted, it made the whole electrical system seem even more sketchy. When we first arrived, the cable box and microwave weren’t working at all. The man came the next day and replaced one of the extension chords, so they ended up working, but the microwave was unreliable and the cable was very choppy and poor quality. So despite receiving power, the appliances never really worked. I’m no stranger to a budget motel room, and I always flip my mattresses to check for bed bugs. While we didn’t find any bugs, we did find one of the dirtiest mattresses we’d ever seen. The inside of the fridge was also moldy when we looked inside. Luckily we had peroxide on hand and it was a quick clean, but when I let them know what we found, I was chuckled at and told the mini fridge had been off for a while. There was mold practically on the power button inside, so they definitely knew the mold was there. The window in the bathroom was broken at some point and was boarded up rather than replaced. And without a fan, the bathroom doesn’t vent easily and, in turn, smells like mildew. We originally booked 7 nights here and survived 2 nights before we just left. We didn’t feel comfortable or safe. The staff didn’t seem to take any of our concerns seriously. I wouldn’t recommend staying here to anyone. The motel 6 across the street is a bit loud and the housekeepers can be a bit pushy, but is much safer and comfier for the price. You’ll even save a couple bucks at the motel 6.

For two older women traveling together, we did not feel really secure. The manager was very nice and accommodating.

Room was very clean. Property was very clean and well maintained. Location ...eh but what can you do in NE Salem. Staff was great and didn't push it rush for checkout time. Bathroom window faced adjacent apartment windows which was both interesting and a little awkward but oh well.
