I stay at Silverton pretty much every trip...last time was Nov 12. I enjoy the rooms. Best point is the beds. For a moderate rate hotel they have really really great beds. I always sleep so well there. I've always hated their cathode ray TVs in these huge armoires with doors that invaded the whole room. Well...last visit they were gone! A new flat desk with a flat screen TV was in place. Wonderful! As for the bathrooms, I love the soap and shampoo they get but the bathrooms themselves are quite mediocre. Lastly, a lot of the rooms face brick walls. They must have picked a student architect. The one thing I ask for is a room that 'IS NOT LOOKING AT A WALL'. Once I get that out of the way, I'm always quite pleased with the place.
Nov 13-16 I was at Main Street Station. The Silverton rooms are definitely better...though the MSS rooms are reasonably nice, too.
