We enjoyed our one night stay! The room was very clean and comfortable and loved that there was a twin size trundle bed for our 10 year old. Staff is very nice and helpful. We were on 2nd floor and there was a-lot of noise from room above, heavy foot steps, etc but it was only briefly. Probably to be expected since it is an old building. Otherwise we loved the hotel and a perfect location in Salem.

Great location. Stayed 1 night in February. Water was not hot or even very warm. Staff person tried to fix and could not, so we were moved next door to similar room. At night it was in the 20s outside and when we turned the heat on and the 2nd floor part of the room got stifling hot and the bottom floor didn’t warm up enough. Also, the shower had trouble staying hot for 2 showers. Other than that the room was very spacious and clean, and location was central to everything we wanted to see.

Stayed here for a long weekend over Easter with my 12 year old son. Perfect location for exploring Salem, centrally located and walking distance to pretty much everything. The staff are incredibly nice and helpful. The hotel is lovely, well appointed rooms and great restaurant downstairs. We also enjoyed the rooftop for a quick snack between adventures. Don’t let the lack of parking deter you; there is a parking garage that is a 2 minute walk away and just as easy as if they had parking on site. Highly recommended this place and will be back!
