Top South Central Hotel Reviews

The Independence

10/10 Excellent

"Always a nice stay at the independence. The breakfast could be better though."

Best Western Plus Mill Creek Inn

8/10 Good

"Very pleasant stay for what we needed. Kid friendly and the staff were helpful. It was a pleasant surprise to find out the breakfast was offered at Denny’s restaurant located beside the hotel. The pool was large and we really enjoyed the shallow pool that they had beside the main pool. Bonus feature was that they had a sauna available for use as well."

Best Western Premier Keizer/Salem Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was clean and well-maintained. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We didn’t receive any housekeeping service during our stay. Not a big deal as we only stayed 2 nights. The coffee provided in the morning was very weak; basically just brown water! That was a big deal to us."
