This was a lovely property!! Was a step back in history with wonderful decor and amenities!

The house, property, and rooms are great! I was not at all aware that the hotel is considered one of the most haunted locations in Salem. I was in room #6 for 5 minutes in broad daylight when I started freezing...chills all over my back, arms, and the hair on my arms sticking straight up...I absolutely could not get warm. The heat and fireplace work great, but my husband was burning g up..we almost left to go stay somewhere else because we were freaked out...I felt sad and drained..stayed up all night with the lights on..

Super clean and great for contact-less check-in/out, everything was already considered ahead of time, wonderful room and stay.

We loved this different kinda quirky place! It was very clean! The staff were very friendly and helpful! The complimentary continental breakfast was delicious too!

Great hotel. Staff was excellent and very knowledgeable about the area. The room was everything you would want. Each one is different. I would definitely stay again.

Staff was excellent. Comfortable room. Very welcoming accommodations.
