This is an easy to find and reasonably quiet budget motel. Everything was basic, functional, and clean. It's not going to really please anyone, but I did not find anything disappointing either - it's just average, and that's OK sometimes.

now called the Rodeway Inn, this hotel was clean, the staff was friendly, and they even had laundry facilities (note only 1 washer and 1 dryer) - which was great!

This is now the Rodeway Inn, not Best Value Inn, and it was great! Easy to find, right off the freeway, awesome rates, and exactly what you would expect from a budget hotel. We were in town for the Renaissance Faire in Silverton, and we had wonderfully prompt and friendly service, including directions to a local store when we needed to run out. We also had a comfortable night's sleep. Spacious rooms (again remembering that this is a budget establishment) and very nice beds. The mattress was softer than I usually prefer, but not so soft that I couldn't sleep, and (knowing some who prefer very soft beds) I'm fairly certain not so firm that those who prefer softer beds. The room and bathroom were clean, and well maintained, and the breakfast was nothing special, but what you would expect for this type of hotel.
If I go to the Faire again next year, I'm sure I'll stay here again!

Just stayed there this month at a very cheap rate. This was the cheapest in Salem area over the internet and one of the best we have stayed in Salem. Have stayed in many places in Salem over the past years while traveling on business. It is actually a Rodeway Inn, do not know why it is under Best Value inn in Tripadvisor. Just off the 5 freeway. Very clean looking from outside and inside. Nice lobby, great room and nice bed/linens. Breakfast was adequate in the morning. People checking us in were very welcoming and helpful. Overall a very nice place to stay at. Will definitely be staying here next trip.
