Wow! For any of you missing Old Fashioned Service stay hear! I presented a 5 day conference at this Hotel and every single request I had was met with immediate and responsive service. Every single time. From the front desk staff, the kitchen staff, those taking care of the rooms, they were all excellent. It has been several years since I ran into this type of service. They also had friendly and pleasant demeanors and seemed to enjoy their jobs. Well Done!

To avoid the sellouts and priciness of the Oregon Coast we settled on Albany as a pitstop during a Memorial Day weekend road trip. We didn't expect anything more than the acceptable standard we've come to know from Best Westerns but the Prairie Inn Best Western in Albany surprised us with greater excellence. We got in late and were tired with an anxiety filled dog and the front desk agent was friendly and kind. The hotel was nearly full and was packed with kids and dogs including our own yet I didn't hear a thing from our room and got the best nights sleep. The pillows and bedding were so soft and plump and clean. In addition to the bar soaps, the shower had quality citrus shampoo, conditioner, and bath gel in pump containers on the wall rather than annoying little hobbit bottles. In the morning instead of the usual grab and go breakfast they had real food! Fresh cooked eggs and potatoes and sausage and biscuits and gravy etc given by a happy cheerful gal that started our day out with smiles. I mentioned how nice that was to one of the women behind the check in desk and she said "We used to do those grab bags but we decided let's do a little better" And that's the difference, they actually try to do a little better. Thank you to our new go-to pitstop hotel, we will be back!

My wife and I along with our two boys age 7 and 10 arrived on Friday afternoon and were promptly checked in. We found our room to be exceptionally clean. The staff was very friendly. Masks were worn by all staff. We had Saturday breakfast which was served by a very friendly lady who helped put a smile on the day. This has been one of the top experiences staying in a motel in the last two years ( I spend over 30 days a year in motels). I only have one suggestion for management to improve what they are doing which is move the ash tray farther away from the front entrance as it attracts smoldering cigarettes'. I highly recomend this as a clean and reasonably priced place to stay. Alan Church Klamath Falls, Oregon.

Arrival and check in were easy. Haley at the front desk was welcoming and happy to accommodate our requests. The pool is open via a sign up sheet that gives you time in the water to yourself. Grab n Go breakfast is a piece of fruit, an egg McMuffin like offering, a juice box and a breakfast bar. Coffee and teas available from behind the front desk by the obliging staff.
Although the beds and bathroom were clean, and the towels were soft, plush and plentiful, I would recommend that as a guest, you check the condition of the:
Inside of microwave (spillover remnants)
Ice bucket (sticky)
The available plug by the dresser (filthy).
In this time of Covid, I found these conditions to be less than the sanitary measures one would expect, especially since they would normally be regarded as routine cleaning as part of the room turnover process.
I reported these items to management who agreed that improvement was needed and that my concerns would be shared with the staff to address the issues and take the necessary steps to prevent their reoccurrence.
We will most likely return here for another stay for the easy access of I5 and the quiet accommodations fit our travel needs.

My wife and I routinely stay at this Best Western Plus on road trips between Washington and California. We are always greeted promptly and professionally during check-in, and checkout is equally quick. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable, and the showers are a welcome sight after a long drive. Recently, the hotel upgraded to a contactless room key system that works great. The free breakfast room offers a variety of options, is always clean and well organized, and saves both time and money. The coffee tastes great as well. There are inexpensive gas stations and quality restaurants close to the hotel. We have stayed at hotels in Eugene and Salem, and this hotel offers the best value.

This facility has an awesome location right off I-5, but not so close that you get road noise. The town also has lots of dining opportunities to choose from. We found it’s convenient location, and amenities to be a good value.

We were impressed with the BW Plus Prairie Inn. We stayed on a Friday night and families and travellers were plentiful. Reception was great and the room very comfortable. The highlight of our stay was the breakfast, which was one of the best that we have had at a BW facility. Kudos to the attendant who ensured offerings were replenished and other needs met. Of particular note was the availability of heatable, ready to eat meals and side dishes at a reasonable price. One could have made a meal out of that. Reasonable price, easy to get to from the I-5.

Great friendly service. The hot breakfast and cold breakfast choices were outstanding. Would recommend this hotel. Easy access off of the highway with no problems during the 4 night stay. Ask for a handicap room if you need as the toilets are very low to the ground if you are an older person. AARP gives discounts to Best Western, so that is worth noting.

This Best Western earns its Plus every time! This hotel is close to HW5 as well as inexpensive gas stations and restaurants. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff is taking proper COVID precautions while still opening up the breakfast and pool facilities. Check-in and check-out are quick, and the room rate is less than those hotels in more popular Oregon cities. I have stayed at this location several times this year, and their performance has been consistently excellent. If you need a place to stay in the middle of a long drive, this hotel should be a serious consideration.

Can you give me an idea of the “grab and go” breakfast for non meat eaters?
Answer from Mystic Mysteries
Salem, Oregon62 contributions3 helpful votes
You could not get the breakfast sandwich or it is frozen you could always take the meat off and then cook it egg and cheese if you like. The bag that comes with it is a nice little treat comes with a juice, a piece of fruit and a green bar period and sometimes you get a muffin as well if I remember correctly
