My husband and I wanted a place to stay in Salem after dinner out at a local restaurant so we could avoid an hour commute home late at night. This place fit the bill. We found free parking 2 blocks away and could walk to/from the restaurant. It was clean and had everything we needed (can’t speak to the kitchen other than using the coffee maker in the morning). Some other reviews complain about noise. The apartment is next to the elevator and you can hear it from the apartment but it was not constant and it did not bother me. We would stay here again.
