“Wonderful historic stay”
Our room was stunning, huge with a sofa, writing desk & 2 very comfortable beds with 5 pillows. Sheer luxury. Very clean, beautiful decor. Coffee, water & lemonade available in reception. Location was perfectly for exploring. No road noise. Tried to stay longer as so impressed but the hotel was fully booked. The photos don’t do it justice.

“Gorgeous, historic hotel with a great restaurant and buzzy bar...and haunted!”
This is a fabulous old hotel in the very heart of Salem with all of the old world charm you would expect and a fantastic restaurant and bar. Staff were all super friendly and we met other guests in the bar and had a really fun and socialble time.

“Lots of character”
Room was spacious - had a great corner view - bit of noise from the stairwell on the Saturday night I stayed when a wedding was on though. Staff were generally okay but not the nicest I've ever had. The staff in the bar were extra friendly - enjoyed my dinner here one night. Bathroom had full tub and great water pressure. Location was a bit of walk from train/bus but not too bad - would have been better without a suitcase rattling over the cobbled streets the whole way but that's the charm of this town! Located close to the Salem Witch Museum and near the quad/park.

“Not worth the money.”
The room was very small. The bathroom was not clean and loads of cracked tiles in and around the shower. Funky smell in the room.
