Fantastic hotel close to everything in Salem, VA
Pros:

This was a great experience. The hotel front desk folks were so nice to change our reservations due to a pending snow storm. We also got a late checkout ($25) to 1 PM which we desperately needed. The hotel was exceptionally clean in all areas. The breakfast was adequate although there were no red meat alternatives. Chicken or turkey sausage/bacon would have been a welcomed addition. The staff throughout the hotel were very nice and attentive. The rooms on the backside are more soundproof as they are not on the main road but not a huge problem.

Convenient, but disappointing, and not worth what we paid
Pros:

The location to the hospital was perfect. Comfort Inn just across the street was significantly cheaper, of about the same quality, but more inconvenient because we would need to use our car to get to the hospital. Hampton Inn's main selling point is proximity to the hospital.

Cons:

1) the breakfast was very mediocre. I expect more for my money.
2) our room (615) was next to some sort of heavy machinery room (perhaps the HVAC for the common areas). Throughout the night, we heard significant noise from this machinery.
3) I had the impression that Hampton Inn was a top-quality hotel. My opinion of this chain has plummeted. I would rank them much better than Super8, but lower than Holiday Inn Express and Fairfield Inn.

I would stay here again.
Pros:

I used this hotel because I was there for a family member that was in Lewis Gale Hospital. Our parking lot was within walking distance of the hospital. We didn't have to leave the property if we didn't want to. I did have to drive my elderly mother to the main entrance but I was able to walk to the hospital. The grocery store across the street also helped us not go far from the hospital. It also served hot food.. The breakfast at the hotel was amazing. 24 hour coffee and apples were given through the whole stay.

Cons:

The room was extremely dark. The lighting is not adequate for the room. During the day we had to leave the curtains open for added light. Good thing we were assigned a room on the 6th floor so no one to see inside the room. The front desk was made aware and they get constant complaints about the lightening.

great weekend and location between Roanoke & Blacksburg for the game.
Pros:

Friday night check in staff, very friendly young lady and engaging in conversation. I was in 514, I liked that odd, shaped room because of building design. Huge bathroom.

Cons:

Nice Hotel, Extremely Nice Staff
Pros:

Just recently spent three nights at the Hampton Inn East—Electric Road in Salem, VA. My brother was a patient at the hospital next door. I found the hotel to be very nice and clean and convenient to the hospital. However, the best part of the hotel was the staff. When having someone as a patient at a hospital and not knowing for sure how long a room would be needed, the staff worked very hard to be accommodating to me during the stay. One staff member, Melissa, was particularly helpful and I appreciated that very much! I would highly recommend this hotel when in Salem. Thank You Staff!

Good option convenient to Lewis Gale
Pros:

Nicer-than-usual business hotel next to Lewis Gale hospital (there's a walkway directly from the hotel to the hospital grounds). The outdoor breakfast seating area looked nice - vine-covered courtyard - although it was too cold to sit. Ample breakfast buffet with a good variety; fried chicken patties and waffles were available when we stayed.

Cons:

I couldn't find anything to dislike. It's not the most exciting hotel in terms of decoration, but what it does, it does well.

Fine for a Night or Two
Pros:

After a situation with a previous stay I thought I would give them another chance. Everything was fine this visit. The room was big, clean, comfortable and had a nice work area. Breakfast was pretty good with quite a few healthy options. During my previous stay they gave me a room that was already occupied. That was pretty embarrassing for both me and the other dude. This time was no problem. I will probably stay again. They are right on the edge where they will need a refresh but the hotel is fine for a night or two.
