Salem Barkley Pond Hotels

"Amazing stay, room smelled a little musty on the first day otherwise everything was perfect. Destination charger was a nice touch; we were able to charge our Tesla on both nights. Breakfast was great; staff was very polite to the guests. Would definitely come back again. "

"My room was very clean. My bed was very comfortable. The hall on which my room was located appeared to have been renovated fairly recently. The hotel has a "vintage" feel -- with parts of it clearly dating to an earlier era (maybe back to the 1970s) when it was new and up-to-date. On the plus side, the indoor swimming pool is probably double the size of any hotel pool being built today -- I enjoyed a lovely solo swim in it. However, I noted that the posted rules were confusing (one said an adult had to accompany a swimmer under age 16, another on the same sign said the swimmer needed to be above 18 to enter alone). In the room, we were told to use a chain to bar the door from the inside, but the mechanism on the door had no chain. The carbohydrate-heavy breakfast, including coffee with only artificial creamers, was situated in what was once a large restaurant. I mention these details just to say, "This is not a brand-new, totally uniform hotel; it's quirky and shows its age in some ways." However, it served my purpose of providing a comfortable overnight stay for a price that was 30% lower than my stay in a brand-new chain hotel the following night. (And that latter new hotel had a mini-fridge that was half the size of the one I used in this vintage hotel; plus the traffic noise was greater in the new hotel.) I would stay in this quirky, age-showing hotel again; I can't say the same for the new hotel where I slept the following night."

"Clean rooms. Lovely atmosphere. Staff was great food in the bar was great. Great location "

"A lot different from the last time we have been here. Accommodation was ok. Beds were caved in and weren’t really confortable. The biggest dissapointment was the lazy river which isn’t really lazy. Missing way too many tubes so bigger kids and adults are swimming and racing in the river and it isn’t really as safe as it used to be. Kids 48 inches and below must wear life vest now. Didn’t understand until I realized how people were swimming in it. It was less expensive than previously so I guess we got what we paid for. Staff was amazing though. Oh and no wi-Fi the entire weekend"

"Lovely overnight spot right next to the major highway."

"Pool was a bit cold and hot water in the shower took awhile for hot water to come through Also no walking trails unless you want to get hit but traffic"
