This was my second stay at Hotel Salem and I can’t say enough positive things about it.

If you don’t stay here while I’m Salem you’re doing yourself a disservice. The hotel is centrally located, clean, and the most friendly staff. Highly recommend and would stay here again.

Loved staying at Nantucket property and I recommend the Narragansett property to friends staying in the area. But disappointed in this property. No hot water in shower, sink didn’t drain and didn’t have hot water. When we first arrived the first floor was cool but comfortable but the loft was overpowering hot. Had to run AC for quite a while before being able to use that bedroom. Would not recommend.
