Fabulous Food, Super Service, Top-Notch Venue
We have held the Salem Health Foundation's annual Donor Appreciation dinner at the Salem Convention Center for many years. Sometime we've had issues with slow/late service; quality of food; parking...but this year, everything for our event was perfect. Everyone commented on how good the food was (our guests could choose between the wild salmon; pork tenderloin or vegetarian pasta). The service was amazing. Not only was it on time and quickly delivered, but our wait staff offered to bring glasses of wine to our guests at their table so they wouldn't have to get up. When we made a last minute addition to add ice team, the staff accommodated us without hesitation. A five-star rating doesn't seem to be high enough. Well done.

The staff was lovely, the venue beautiful, and the food good, but, man, it was freezing! And the wi-fi was terrible. Not a comfortable or productive business conference.

Parking garage is below ground, full size trucks suggest street parking. As far as rooms go, we did not stay at the hotel that is adjoining, we used the Willamette room upstairs. Absolutely wonderful!

Great place to stay, attend a conference or just pop in for dinner! Bring your appetite because if you leave here hungry, it's your own fault!
Have the prime rib if you come. Absolute perfection!!

Recently, I was an exhibitor at a conference at the Salem Convention Center. The location, service, and food was outstanding! I had some very bulky heavy things to load into the second floor, and the …
