It's an older hotel, but it was clean and charming. Super well located with all sorts of amenities in the vicinity. Front desk was very nice; some of the restaurant staff a little awkward. Breakfast (not included) was decent. It was busy with events (bridal showers, birthday parties) but it was quiet. Beds were comfy.

It's an old hotel, part of the Historical hotels of America, The hotel itself is beautiful, though needs some beautification here or there. My room- not so much . It was extremely small and with a view towards the other wing. The bathroom even smaller ! Quite disappointing- for $ 255 a night ! The wait in the morning for breakfast was beyond ridiculous, as they were short staffed.

Our stay was excellent. Our room ended up being top floor with an amazing view of the town. The bed was very comfortable and our breakfast at Nathaniel’s was delicious. Staying in the hotel with such proximity to all the Salem sights was perfect! Looking forward to booking again.

Beautiful, well-kept historic hotel. Feels like you’re stepping back in time. Excellent location with parking included. Dog-friendly AND clean. Got an early table for breakfast. Only one server who was also hosting and busing, so service was understandably a bit slow. Food was pretty good, but portions seemed inconsistent. (Mine was pretty substantial, but others were small in comparison.) Poached eggs were perfection! Free coffee and lemonade in the lobby were fresh and delicious.
