Continental Motel — Hotel in Salem

Stayed because of the bad weather and the place seemed nice when we first arrived.. then we got to looking and the walls were cracked bad and just crumbling away. The sheets were very scratchy. The wifi was awful. The blow dryer in the bathroom was taken apart and cracked all on the plug in box (that plugs into the outlet). We seen two roaches. And the sink was 100% stopped up. When we used the toilet plunger to try and get it unstuck.. cigarette butts came up outta the sink! Yuck! (This is a non smoking room) The next morning we go to check out and ask for our deposit, because we didn't smoke in the room, took all of our trash to the dumpster, picked up our towels, and even made the beds back up.. we still didn't get our deposit back! Because when we left the drunk house keeper came in before we walked out and proceeds to tell us about how she had been partying all morning next door to us and was holding a lit cigarette in the room!!! I asked her to put it out and went to the front desk and told them about it. They told me she barely works there because she works under the table! Because of her drinking!!! They were very rude to us and said no deposit back and now won't answer the business phone when we call about the money. I do not recommend this place to stay. Not worth the headache. Pay the extra money and go...

The front desk woman was helpful and she was friendly. She was quick to find us a room that fit our needs. She was also helpful throughout the night when we asked for ice and the WiFi code.

The room was good... The AC blew very cold air and cooled the room very quick. The room didn't smell terrible but it didn't smell great; the smell eventually faded after we turned the AC on. The room had everything we needed; cups, rags, towels, microwave and fridge. The beds we're firm and comfortable; pillows decent, blankets comfortable and the sheets were clean. The lighting fit the vibe and atmosphere of the room.

The only two issues we had we're the bugs behind the window curtains and the toilet wasn't too clean. But it was nothing that we couldn't take care of ourselves.

I'll definitely stay here again because it's like a home...

Only stayed a night while scoping the region out for long-term rentals. Glad I did not rent a full week. Daily rental was fair, but when the manager quoted me a weekly rate of $224 I balked. The rooms were clean and well maintained. Only the most basic amenities here. No micro/fridge. No wifi. The same old shower-stall I have been accustomed to from discount motels below the $200/week range. But at least they did have hot water. Smoking rooms available. I was a bit concerned discovering that the motel only rents to guests 21 and over. In spite of being flattered to verify my age at 32 I feel bad for anyone needing lodging that is under 21. Maybe they think if you are under 21 you will be irresponsible? Seemed kind of discriminatory to me and I hope it does not become commonplace to deny America's youth a...
