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!

This is a wonderful 100 year historic old hotel! Although the room and, especially the bathroom, were small and some of the furniture scuffed, it is still a great, convenient place to stay in Salem!
