If you are in Salem, definitely make this one of your first stops for information, maps, brochures, and suggestions. I called and spoke with Taylor regarding a street map of Salem, which she informed me they have in stock, courtesy of the Salem Chamber of Commerce (Thank You Chamber). When I arrived at the pink building on the corner of State there was the mystical parking spot -- Free for 30 minutes. I grabbed the spot but there are many parking options nearby, not to mention free parking in the Parkcades for the Salem Center. The foyer has a selection of travel magazines, but venture further inside to enjoy free wifi and a sitting area to rest your weary feet from walking around historic downtown Salem. Taylor was still working and quickly provided the street maps I requested. While I waited I entered a drawing for a free nights stay in a Salem hotel by providing information about my visit. There were free issues of the Salem Statesman newspaper, and a vast array of Wine country magazines and other local attractions. FYI, my favorite spots in Salem are Riverfront Park, The Gilbert House for those traveling with young children, The State Capitol tours and grounds, and the fun events going on at the Fairgrounds year-round. For those with dogs, visit Minto-Brown Island Park. Your fur baby will love you more and they will be exhausted. Call or stop by Travel Salem. They are very informative, professional, and helpful.

I have a confession: I love travel magazines. Whenever I visit any touristy place and see one of…read morethose big racks with brochures and ads, I stock up. I want to know everything about where ever I may be, and that includes my home town of Salem. That most of the mags end up on the floor of my car is irrelevant; being informed is what's important. I have never, ever, ever in all my years in this great state seen SO many travel mags/brochures/maps. It was the mecca of Oregon information--and you can be certain that I grabbed quite a bit. Not so much that going back would be redundant, just enough to get through to my next travel mag fix. When you grow up in a lame city like Salem, in a seemingly lame state such as Oregon, you tend to lose (or never gain) appreciation for the sites right in your own backyard. Since leaving my twenties I have gained (or re-gained) this appreciation and can now say, "There's so MUCH to do around her!" Ok, not in Salem. But every where else there is! Go support your own traveler information center. You won't find a better one anywhere--I promise.

Zero stars. Do not use this company. I tried, but Julie gave wrong prices (quoted me $144/night…read moreand then told me that I was wrong and that it is $279/night), constantly contradicting herself as well as never following through with any communication in the time frame she promised. When I talked to her about these issues, she could have cared less. If you are looking for someone who doesn't know what she is doing and gives you wrong prices and then tells you how you are wrong then Julie is the right travel agent for you! If you are looking for a travel agent that can follow through on what they tell you, definitely go to another company.
