Comfortable and luxe room for solo Salem traveler

If you're looking to visit Salem and save on lodging, this is the place. I visited for 3 nights (no car) and I was pretty happy. The Salem Skipper picks up about 2 blocks away, a short walk and an easy ride into downtown Salem (just be prepared to wait about 20-25 minutes). Down the road there is an amazing coffee shop, Breaking Grounds, with the best morning fare (gluten free options available). The hotel also provides little pastries, fruit, and yogurt for free. My room was clean and really luxe feeling. The bed was comfortable, lots of pillows, and the shower was super nice (takes a while for the water to heat up, just fyi). Plush towels, TV, mini fridge, robes, and even a diffuser with the hair dryer! Couldn't ask for a nicer room for a great price. One note, which I didn't dock a star for: Be prepared to kind of be on your own, there is really no front desk staff unless the Tavern itself is open (and even then it's hard to find someone, as I experienced during my stay when I wanted to update my payment method). But I did eventually contact someone after I was home, and they fixed the issue quickly.

The property is beautiful. The most comfortable bed we slept in all week! We had a late checkin but we sent checkin instructions that were easy to follow and had no issues. Everything was perfect! Would definitely stay again and would definitely recommend.

Great, well-priced hotel

Check-in was quick and easy, the girl that checked us in was very friendly and explained all the nuances to us. The room was a decent size, the bed was comfortable but a little too squeaky for adult time. The bathroom was very big, the shower was great, but did take a few minutes to actually get hot water.

Last minute stay and we were lucky to find The Bell Inn! Such a quaint little property, nice new rooms. Fruit, pastries, yogurt & coffee provided in common area between rooms. Only downside is that our room facing street got quite a bit of traffic noise (bumpy street + trucks=noisy). We would definitely stay again & recommend the property to others!

We were there three nights we had to ask for toilet paper and our trash was running over never emptied it so it piled up for three days and you needed something. There was nobody there at night. No one to contact the people in general that you dealt with when you could fine someone were pleasant and that was probably the best thing about the motel. Beds were small uncomfortable . They did have a coffee pot out and add danishes and fresh fruit in the mornings but the coffee pot needed cleaned. I personally would not stay there again.

Lovely and graciously appointed room at the Bell Inn, very comfortable and quiet. I appreciated the water, coffee, tea and yogurt available in the common seating area, where a light breakfast of fruit and pastries was set out in the morning. Easy parking lot just next door; friendly staff.
