It was great and hit the spot. The only thing I might work on is the email for late arrivals and finding the parking lot. For first timers to Salem it was confusing but we made it.

We checked in after hours so no staff to help us but the directions for what to do after hours was spot on. We just had a difficult time with our heavy luggage walking up 3 flights of stairs. All the snack amenities were awesome. We always got in too late at night to enjoy a fresh hot cookie but it’s a great touch.
