Our daughter goes to Willamette in Salem and in the past we have stayed in one of the few hotels Salem offers. Never again. The loft exceeded our expectations and was less expensive than most hotel rooms in the area. It is well appointed and comfortable. The bedding was incredibly comfortable and the loft is filled with beautiful paintings. We found ourselves admiring the art often (it feels like a quaint gallery). The loft sits above their detached garage and is accessible from the alley behind their main house. It is private yet you have the benefit of having access to the beautiful backyard. This will be our go to place until our daughter graduates and we will certainly tell other parents about it.
