I loved this hotel, beautiful. The staff were great help when asked questions and very friendly. The location of this hotel is a plus, everything is at a walking distance. The complimentary tea, coffee, etc…was great. Came back home and ordered some of that tea brand. One thing that I didn’t care for were the mattress, they were a bit too firm for us but I’d still come back and stay here again. Thank you Hawthorne Hotel!

The Hawthorne’s rich history, beauty & central location to all of Salem make it the ideal choice. The dining at the Nathaniel & The Tavern were delicious. The staff at the front desk & housekeeping were all very friendly and kind. I’d recommend anyone looking to stay in Salem to enjoy the rich history; begin at The Hawthorne Hotel.
