If you don’t stay here while I’m Salem you’re doing yourself a disservice. The hotel is centrally located, clean, and the most friendly staff. Highly recommend and would stay here again.
This was my second stay at Hotel Salem and I can’t say enough positive things about it. Rooms are clean, all the staff is friendly, location is by far the best, as you walk out right onto Essex street the heart of Salem! We love it, we enjoy staying every time we visit Salem! I don’t want to spend my time at any other hotel! I would def recommend!
Parking was the only difficulty with this property . The staff and facilities were top notch . Very very clean and super friendly from Zachary our initial contact at the front desk who was extremely personable and very helpful and freindly to the wait staff at the restaurant who were very patient made my wife and I's entire experience an absolute joy and we will definitely be staying here again.
It was a great hotel right in the heart of Salem. It was convenient to everything and the staff was lovely and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again. Just wish they had parking on the premises.
Can’t say enough good things about this place! Staff was incredible and it was right in the heart of Essex street. Will stay here everytime I visit Salem
Clean room staff was courteous. Thank you Concierge Zach for helping us find parking!
