I have stayed at the Black Bear two times in the last four months. It was a great value. The location is convenient to everything in the area we were interested in. Easy to get to and easy to get to other places from there. The service at the desk was outstanding. Very accomodating young man at the desk when we checked in. The room was very clean and quiet. Only drawback I could find was that the breakfast offered no fresh fruit.
We traveled with two dogs, and this was the perfect place to stay. There's a nice grassy lawn area for the dogs. Another plus, a great breakfast, huge pool and workout room. Just a nice place to stay.
When we had a failure to communicate with an airline the management at the hotel went out of thier way to assist us at cost to them in time and fuel. Walking distance to the Fred Meyer, and a quick taxi drive downtown, or to the park on the river makes location a winner!

The New Kings Inn is now the Best Western Black Bear Inn. That really threw us for a loop. I enjoyed their service, the rooms, were great, and they had many wonderful ideas for what to do in Salem. I have never seen a pool or workout room as big as theirs.
