The property is in a great location. While we selected a "micro" king room, it was tiny and the lay-out was terrible. The pictures of the room online did not really show how small it was and how bad the layout was. The room was not that clean.

The room was really nice. The cleaning service was great. Location is awesome, but you hear everything. Every nose outside, every footstep on the roof bar, every voice, every door. It sounds like someone is constantly throwing a bowling ball around. I stayed 4 nights and maybe slept 16hrs total.

We loved our time at Hotel Salem! After the short awkwardness of pulling our suitcases down Essex Street (there is no street parking or driving on Essex), we were welcomed and treated very well. Our room was really cool—modern decor and nice hot shower water. Very clean and comfy bed with a nice view. Would definitely recommend!

The hotel is so beautiful, accommodating, friendly, and just so welcoming. The Men and Women that work their go above and beyond for the guests. I can’t want to come back to Hotel Salem. If you visit make sure to try the Pizza and the drinks are really good.
