Top Salem Hotel Reviews

Spark by Hilton Roanoke Airport

4/10 Poor

"I saw roach in the room"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Roanoke, VA

8/10 Good

"Everything for our stay was wonderful but the “queen” beds in our room were more like double beds, or the smallest queen beds I’ve ever slept in. But that is really my only “complaint”. Great hotel, spacious room (we had a family suite with two “queens” and pull out sofa). The pool was great and my kids loved that it stayed open until midnight! The breakfast was more than adequate and we would definitely stay again. "
