6/10 Good

Small rooms

Pros: I loved the aesthetic of the hotel—it perfectly complements the charm and history of Salem. Its location is fantastic, within walking distance of many of the city's attractions. We had breakfast in the dining room, which was a delightful experience, and the live music added a whimsical touch. The staff was generally friendly and even allowed us to check in early, which we appreciated. Cons: Unfortunately, our room felt like the smallest one in the hotel. It had just a bed, a small table, and a single chair, with barely enough space to move around. The bathroom was especially cramped—you could stand and turn, but that was about it. Cleanliness was average, and the wallpaper was peeling, which took away from the overall ambiance. In conclusion, I wouldn’t stay here for more than a night. Be prepared to get up close and cozy with your travel companion. Next time, we’ll be looking for a quaint B&B instead.

Perfect spot to explore Salem

Very convenient location to be able to park and walk to most attractions. Room was clean and comfortable. Tavern restaurant was also excellent (I recommend the seafood chowder). Staying in a historic hotel is pretty cool. Loved the vibe of the place. They are celebrating their 100th year this year!
