HomeTowne Studios Salem, OR

"I only have one star because no stars wasn’t an option. The area isn’t safe. People hanging outside all around the property. There’s homeless parked across the street. You can tell it’s not safe as they have to lock the doors at a certain time so you have to wait for hotel staff to come and let you in. The parking lot isn’t well lit. The hotel person I worked with was very rude. I didn’t catch her name but she can be identified with tattoos all on her arms. Anyway, I voiced my concern with questions to her and she asked me to leave claiming I was being rude. AND STILL CHARGED MY CARD!! Unless you have to, I wouldn’t stay here unless you’re desperate. But if you’re just passing through Salem and looking for reasonably priced accommodations, this Place isn’t it."

"We had a great experience! The lady at check in I can't remember her name but she had long curly hair and she was very welcoming. I asked for the first floor next to the laundry room. We were a bit early and she explained the rooms on the first floor weren't quite ready but we could get a room on the first floor but it would be about an hour. She was very kind and helpful. When we came back for keys there was another lady at the front desk and she was also kind and helpful. She delivered because we got first floor and right next to the laundry room! We had a great stay!"

"Owner MUST READ. I personally have made it a concern to give businesses the best and most honest review I can. Knowing how important it is to have good standing with the public. And I honestly want to give this place a low score or negative if it was possible. I'll ignore my crushed feelings. Do your feelings matter? My wife thinks so. She don't have the fear of expressing them like I do. She would tell you how she never felt safe as a long term resident. Paranoid always in fear of her safety and her car parked out side. I would say to her "your tripping who's going to mess with your old car. She was constantly having issues with the employees. Knowing how she is I wrote it off as dramma don't care. Well can only do that so long with your wife. About a year and maybe 20,000 or more brings me up to this right now. I have to work most of the time so she at the hotel all day everyday and hates it. I am just happy to have a shower and bed. All her tripping and drama comes to a head with a 200 plus fine for smoke detection tampering. We all know not to mess with them. Me personally understand how important they are in saving life's. I'm working and answer the phone and she tells me we have to move there kicking us out. She hates the place and has tried to convince me that we need to move. I am reminding her how sleeping out side is not an option so get over your what ever get along with others or just ignore. But this time that is not an option. So I call the office at the hotel and get the run down. Must pay 200 plus or move. This is the part my feelings start getting hard to ignore My wife can't cook she burns. The smoke detection is a common sound I've learned to embrace. She can't and puts something around it to stop it from saving lives. I hate to be my wife's dad telling her don't do that or this bla bla. To shorting a long story the employees seen her attempt to stop life's from being saved . And on top of the 20,000 spent for my showers another 200 more is required to stay. I want her to work it off. Wishful thinking. Do you wanna guess the rest of the story. I thought I was good business. My bank account can prove that. I ran into the one who witnessed the heinous crime. We had a conversation about it we both totally agree and said the lady left Noone knows anything about it hear now she'll be back in the morning. Ok being super tired I'm waking up to a phone call I answer and I'm told we had to leave .....and thats it. Wow I'm heart broken the guy I spoke to last night assured me they are not targeting me and that anyone that makes the heinous crime must pay. Don't take it personally. I'm not sure if he was accurate my business is not expected now... my opinion I won't make mine public cause of my own war on ratings but I wonder what the owner would think or do... was my money not good enough. I won't dwell on it to long but I wonder. Thanks for your attention and sorry about the poor grammar I went to school in oregon."

"I liked it has a kitchenette. Has 0 things to cook with or dishes, etc. Small apartment size fridge. I didn't cook anything. It's nice to be able to if you are prepared for it. Room was still a bit pricey for neighborhood. There are several homeless right on the other side of the fence. Sheets are very low thread count. Room was clean and served it's purpose."

"Love this affordable homeaway from home. Has everything you need (except an oven) in these clean and spacious studio rooms. Best place to stay on a budget! They do charge $100 deposit which I would suggest paying in cash if you plan to pay weekly otherwise you have to pay deposit again each week while waiting for the prior weeks deposit to be refunded in 7-10 business days. However housekeeping does come knocking around 9:30 or 10 which I think shouldn't happen until at least 11 (check-out) The location is less than discernable but then again where isn't these days."
