We had a wonderful stay at the Hotel Salem. So clean, comfortable and beautiful! We didn’t get to try the rooftop restaurant because it rained most of our visit, but the Counter on the first floor was very nice. Staff went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. We will definitely stay here again!

Great location, hotel food offerings were very good. Rooms can get a bit noisy. Rooms are a nice size. My Room was an ADA Accessible so plenty of room and large bathroom w/nice big shower. I was lacking a few smaller amenities, like an ice bucket and coffeemaker. The bedside lights had to be turned off on the wall across from the bed (no bedside lighting/no clock either, Otherwise you can't beat the location - lots of shopping and dining options nearby and most all of the points of interest within walking distance. Parking in Salem is an issue in general, but there is a parking deck nearby if you are lucky to grab a spot. We noticed that most shops don't open until 10 or 11 so going before this time will make finding a spot easier.

Overpriced.

Very inconvenient to have to park and carry all of your luggage 5min away (esp in pouring rain) to the hotel. No shower doors-odd.

The location of the Hotel Salem is perfect for a carless visit. Staff was helpful and the bed was comfortable. I also appreciated the refillable soaps in the room, rather than disposable plastic containers. Sharing a room with a friend, we did not enjoy the design of the bathroom, which left a large gap to see and hear whoever is using the toilet while in the room. Also, we were woken up at 6:30 on the day of checkout by a persistent knocking and never found out what the sound was.

The Hotel Salem

Great hotel and great location! Would definitely stay there again. Only issues were off site parking (available but at guest’s expense), difficult to use tv (no guide for local channels), and no shelves or hand rails in the shower. Enjoyed the roof top bar and dining - beautiful view! Wish the restaurant near the lobby had been open while we were there, but it is only open certain days of the week.

We had a wonderful time at this hotel. It’s cleanly and modern and the staff are incredibly helpful. It’s located right in the pedestrian walking zone of Salem and close to all of the attractions. It was quiet at night and overall we had a wonderful experience would recommend.

It is in a great location. Walk out the front door right in the middle of all the shops and attractions. It is such a fun place to explore and visit. We plan to visit again to explore more of the waterfront area. The only thing that was a little odd in the hotel room was the bathroom set up. Other than that, it was a nice hotel.

The staff at The Hotel Salem are so friendly and helpful. If you want to be right in the middle of Essex Street, this is the spot. The room was very comfortable and clean. Plus you have two great eating spots right on property, The Counter and The Roof. Nothing beats the views from the roof and the food and drinks are delicious. Only drawback is that parking is a bit of a walk because you are staying is a historic part of town. My favorite place to stay in Salem.
