Right in the heart of it all! The room was great and so spacious! The front desk so kind and accommodating! The only downfall is no parking around the hotel. But they are very upfront about that and the 3 garage options they give are fairly priced and not far. You can park and not need the car until departure! We walked to everything we wanted to do very easily!

Can’t beat the location! Room was clean. We had a view of an alley and brick wall but we weren’t in our room much. Staff overall very nice and helpful except the night we checked in the person wasn’t the friendliest. The water stations on each floor were great to refill water bottles. Separate bathroom from the shower area didn’t offer much privacy. Overall quiet at night, beds were comfortable. Off site parking but they did call the night before to give us suggestions for places to park (3 minute walk).

The hotel is in the perfect location, right in the middle of Essex Street. It was easy to walk around the entire down town area and felt completely safe for my sister and I. The only thing is that because it is so centrally located, it definitely is noisy into the night and early in the morning, but for the location, you can’t beat it!

The best word I can use for Hotel Salem is "quirky." Let's get my les-favorite things out of the way and then I'll rave. No parking: You must use a paid parking lot nearby. Additional expense and just saying suitcases don't roll easily over brick & cobblestone! Weird room setup (at least in ours) where the bathroom is broken into 2 totally separate rooms with weird not-quite-private barn doors. Parts of the hotel - it's like it wants to be retro and industrial but it also is like a little in need of updating - worn paint, old (and oddly placed) outlets. On the flip side - location cannot be beat!! Right in the heart of all the spooky Salem fun. The staff was outstanding - friendly and accommodating. Some fun high end touches like quality soaps and lotions plus real glasses in the room. And the rooftop bar is lovely. All in all - a good experience.

Our little refrigerator wasn't working upon arrival, they replaced it immediately. The staff was super friendly and helpful. This is right on Essex street where no cars are allowed which we really loved, being right on the shopping strip and parking was close by.

These guys were really communicative- text messages keeping you updated, asking if you needed anything, welcoming you. It was really nice. The property is in the middle of it all, which made it really convenient to shop and eat and then pop into the room to drop packages or freshen up when needed. They have a great rooftop bar/restaurant- we didn't get to enjoy it (they had an event) but I hope we can get back to do so! The only downside... the parking is kinda far away, and we had to take the luggage trolly through the streets, to the garage, and back. It was awkward and exhausting. I wish they had closer parking or at least a drop off point!
