Enjoyed my stay, this hotel was set back from the road and quiet. It was a very short drive to all of the downtown Salem attractions. I would stay there again.

Great location, clean, quiet and comfortable!

Very comfortable, large suite for a very reasonable rate (for the area). The location was great. Within walking distance of restaurants and attractions. Set well off the road so it was very quiet.

Clean rooms, close to town

We booked the Clipper Ship Inn as we were looking for an affordable place to stay in Salem with ample parking. The Inn is a bit dated but the rooms were definitely clean and the bed was comfy. Check in was fast and efficient, and it was close to town, with8n easy walking distance. We would definitely stay here again.
