Jeannette and Jim are excellent hosts and responded to all my questions promptly. The room was clean, comfortable, quiet, and private, and it met all my needs. The neighborhood is beautiful and feels very safe. WiFi Internet was fast and reliable, so I could get some work done in between visits with my elderly mother.
I had a busy schedule so didn't get a chance to take advantage of the living room, but it looked like a very nice space for planning one's day or relaxing at the end of the day.
I've stayed at many hotels and motels in Salem over the years, and Jeannette and Jim's place offers a better combination of value, location, and comfort than anything else I've found. I hope their room will be available next time I'm in Salem.
