This blockhouse was originally part of Fort Yamhill from 1856-1866. The eight-sided design made it easier to defend, as rifle ports could be placed every 45 degrees instead of every 90 degrees.

In its later years the blockhouse was used as a jail before being rescued and relocated to Dayton in 1911.

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Salem

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was good, hotel was definitely a bit confusing. "

The Hotel Salem

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and quiet for families. The staff were friendly, and the pool was exceptionally clean. The double queen rooms were sold out and we had to use the pull-out for my 10-year-old daughter. The mattress was so bad in the pull-out that it was unusable. The springs in the mattress were painful and the bars in the sofa itself came right through, which makes this dangerous. The staff did give us an extra blanket to cover but we had to remove our king-size quilt from our bed and fold it 3x to make the pull-out usable. If you plan to use the pull-out, I suggest bringing a sleeping bag or booking the double queen room. The king bed itself was comfortable."
