This was overall a nice place and a good experience but what I'd like people to know is that the staff is very good in person but horrible when trying to get in touch after we left. I was charged extra and when I tried, multiple times to get in touch, no one answers the phone and no one calls back. After a shower, I was looking for a hair dryer. Found the empty bag. Since all staff isn't back in the morning until 11am, I couldn't ask them to get me one or tell them it was missing. I wrote a note and left it in the room explaining the dryer was gone, but i did not take it and them left with wet hair. I was charged $23 so I'm assuming they charged me for the missing dryer. Like I said, I wanted to talk to someone about it but no one got back to me. I hate leaving a review like this, other then that I'd recommend them, room was very tiny as well, just so you know.

I am sad to leave a bad review as I was so excited to come to this hotel based on prior reviews. However, I would recommend NOT to stay here. Firstly, the cleanliness of the room was not acceptable. There was coffee splashes on the window bench that came off with water so it’s obvious that the room was not thoroughly cleaned. The sheets also did not fit the bed and there were multiple stains on them. On top of the cleanliness issues, there was the issue of so much noise. I don’t know why this hasn’t been mentioned in other reviews, however it was so extremely loud in the room from road noise & it kept us up all night for both nights of our stay, therefore having no sleep during our trip to Salem. I understand that this is an old building, however no soundproofing effort has been made and to pay so much money to stay somewhere and not be able to sleep is unacceptable. You could also hear every word from the other rooms, we woke up to the sound of someone blowing their nose at 7am. Finally, the customer service was poor. I received a charge for over C$800 on my card and I had no idea why at check in. We also received no instructions for the property or check out upon check-in. After calling the hotel, I was told this was a charge taken for incidentals. However, I was not told this and I did not consent to this charge on my credit card. The person I spoke to on the phone did not apologize and they admitted to not having the staff trained properly!? Just avoid this place.

AVOID AVOID AVOID

Positives first - beautiful newly refurbished hotel which is both comfortable and came with all room amenities. Free pastries and fruit supplied for breakfast which was a lovely touch. Now for the reason I would avoid - we arrived on a Monday and apparently the hotel is ‘closed’ on Mondays - no one whatsoever at the property - should have had an email and text message with self check in details and door code to get in which I didn’t get. There was a phone number on the closed sign which you are expected to call - I’m from the UK and it would have cost me a fortune to ring this US number from my UK mobile. Luckily an American lady was just entering the hotel and rang on my behalf. I’ve travelled the world and never before found a hotel that was closed with no staff!So we self check in, we found Jewellry in our room that I sent an email about (no one to hand it in too) - didn’t get a reply until after we had checked out so just had to leave it in the room where I had found it (hopefully it wasn’t sentimental to the loser). And to top it off I am now fighting to be charged what I agreed with Hotels.com on booking - my price was the room rate including tax - the hotel have charged me that total amount as the room rate and then added tax on top…. 4 emails in, I’ve sent the hotels.com details but they are still overcharging me. I very impersonal hotel which I would absolutely avoid. It was our last night of a New England 6 state vacation and has left a bad taste - never again!

It’s a beautiful place. The only complaint I have is that I requested an extra blanket and was told housekeeping would bring it that day-they never came. When we returned that evening I told the staff and they brought up a cloth shower curtain and an extra robe. Also the lotion bottle was broken and I couldn’t remove it to fix it so that was super annoying because I purposely didn’t bring any since they said they had it in the room. We never received any housekeeping during our 4 day 3 night stay but there was an envelope left for a tip. Heather did the best she could to make everything right and is the only reason for the 4 stars instead of 3-girl deserves a raise. Would I stay there again? Probably if I couldn’t find somewhere else but I’d request the extra the extra blanket way in advance and ask Heather to personally check, lower my expectations on the housekeeping, and remember to bring my own lotion just in case.

This inn is lovely. The outdoor patio is beautiful. The room, immaculate and the beds comfy. Our shower in the bath was spacious. Plenty of towels and there are even robes if you like. Had a drink in the bar. The whole place is just wonderful. We didn't eat there because we wanted to go to Finz in Salem, but a look at the menu says the food is varied and delicious.
