This hotel is in a great location on Pickering Wharf, close to all the attractions Salem has to offer. Parking was super easy, and walking anywhere from here was too. The room was stylish, clean, and very comfortable. We also enjoyed the pool, which was just as clean. On two mornings we purchased breakfast in the hotel’s restaurant, and it was great. If we return to Salem again, we’d stay here no question!
