The staff were friendly and exceptionally helpful. We were able to get our parking pass before checking in and were even granted permission to remain parked there after checking out (until 4PM) so that we could explore the area. The room was clean, cozy and quiet. No spooky revelations were made. Will definitely recommend and stay again.

This is a very well kept Historic Hotel that will immediately make you feel like you're in the 1920s! The staff is super friendly, the rooms and bathrooms are very clean, Nathaniel's restaurant is delicious, and the location feels truly premium, right across the Salem Common and connecting you to main Salem streets at walking distance (for real for real!). I visited as a solo traveler, and would 100% recommend it.
They provide a fully functional letter box, assisted daily by USPS.
Floors across the common areas are covered with gorgeous carpets.
Location: 10/10.
I was truly impressed by the letter box!

The Hawthorne Hotel is a beautiful historic hotel. The room we had was spacious, clean, and had an awesome view. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was not large but a reasonable size. We had a king room with corner views. Very centrally located, can easily walk everywhere. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the restaurants had great food and service. We would absolutely recommend this hotel 10/10.
