Red Roof Inn Salem

Affordable Comfort Just Minutes from Salem’s Concert Scene

Modern yet budget-conscious, Red Roof Inn Salem is a convenient choice just off Interstate 93, about 2 miles from downtown Salem, NH. This no-frills, pet-friendly hotel delivers essential comforts like free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs, making it a solid base for music lovers heading to nearby venues or events.

Each room features a work desk, laptop safe, coffee maker, and a pop of bright color to keep the vibe upbeat. It's an easy 4-minute drive to Rockingham Park and close to shopping at Rockingham Park Mall and thrills at Canobie Lake Park.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate the easy highway access and close proximity to local venues—no long post-show drives here. Parking is free, and while check-in starts at 3:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM, the low-key vibe makes this a relaxing spot to wind down after a high-energy night. Since it’s a short drive from Salem’s entertainment spots, you can get back to your room quickly for that much-needed rest.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a practical place to crash after the show
• Solo travelers ticking artists off their live music bucket list
• Couples planning a laid-back weekend getaway
• Fans who want a quiet, no-fuss space to recover after the encore
• Budget-conscious music lovers who'd rather spend on tickets than lodging

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t offer on-site dining, coffee makers in every room help with early mornings after late nights. There are plenty of dining spots a short drive away, from casual diners to fast food, many open late. For those looking to grab a bite before or after a show, the location makes it easy to find what you're craving.

Nightlife Options

You won’t find a bar in the hotel, but that’s not a dealbreaker. Downtown Salem is just a few minutes away, where you’ll find pubs, lounges, and local bars for pre-show drinks or post-show nightcaps. If you're catching a show at a nearby venue, chances are you're already near the action.

What People Say

Guests often mention the clean rooms, affordable rates, and pet-friendly policies as standout features. Reviewers love how accessible it is off the highway and how close it is to Canobie Lake Park and Rockingham Park. Many say it’s a great choice if you’re not looking for luxury, but rather a clean, safe place to sleep after a fun night out.

Areas for Improvement

This is a no-frills property, so you won’t find extras like breakfast service or a gym. Some guests report that rooms facing the highway can be a bit noisy—so pack some earplugs if you're a light sleeper. Decor is simple and functional rather than stylish, but for the price, most guests find it more than fair.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly, easy-access stay near Salem’s music and entertainment venues, Red Roof Inn Salem hits the right notes.
