Lock in a great price for The Hotel Salem - rated 8.1 by recent guests.

to get started.

Excellent location if you want to spend time in Salem (?) or indeed explore the nearby coastline with towns like Gloucester and Newburyport. Modern hotel with some quirky features, great rooftop bar which is lively and serves great tacos, and equally good cafe in lobby for breakfast at reasonable prices. However that also means that it is disorientating on arrival, trying to find the way into the hotel, and somebody to help. On the positive side, the rooms were spacious (family of 4 with teen children sharing double queen was ok), comfortable and modern fittings.

“Lively and lots of potential, but terrible reception staff attitude”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Double Queen
- • Stayed 2 nights
No staff were around on arrival, and subsequently staff were distracted and unequipped to help hotel guests (although they were spotted drinking in rooftop bar). The attitude of staff was terrible. We received zero welcome on arrival, but were then told of all the penalties for damaging the room and contents! When our keycard wouldn't work, they were unable to fix it. When our safe would not open, they had no idea what to do. They didn't apologise, they didn't tell us what they were doing. Eventually they solved the problem, but still didn't say anything.

Room was cramped and rather gloomy. The gentleman who booked us in was fine, the desk staff at other times looked half asleep. There was no hot water in the morning for showers. According to Booking.com the hotel would take a 50 percent deposit upon booking; however, they charged the entire cost of the room to my credit card when we booked.
Location was very good. Lack of onsite parking was a city of a pain but there is parking garage nearby.

Dirty. The rooms were gross, our walls had marks all over them. Dirt and dust on the floors, plastic and wrappers on the floor. Didn’t look like there was any attention to detail when cleaning.
Great location, close to everything in town. Also one of the nicest in the city.

“The room under there roof top bar!”

No easy way to get to that property so you have to drag your luggage 2 to 3 blocks. The person checking people in Was not helpful at all. We get her around big open chamber. The bathroom had cracked tile in the shower. The beds not comfortable. The television with no channels. Then the fun begins when the bar up above opened up. Now scraping of furniture banging laughter coming through the ceiling. When I went to complain. I was told it was an extra bar and would be closing soon. When booking I was never told my room is going to be under a bar. For the price point you charge it’s outrageous! For that type of money you’re looking for luxury. Not a broken down loud noisy facility!
That location. But Salem is so small I could’ve stayed anywhere. And definitely will next time!

“ Force Majured Experience #”

Second time I've spent the night at Salem Hotel . I'll say this time around it wasn't all that great of an experience due to the Energies and weary connections with TV and online Plus Services. such as no telephone in the room and being reliant onmy device for voice calls . I noticed there undergoing some construction withon exit stairways .Fire Dept. Rules regulatations should always be enforced and taken seriously with concern for fire alarms.
What I did like was the different types of arts and creativitea that the house showed off. #Focused on Art Console's with respect to time invested .

The size of room was ridiculously small - They called it a micro-room. Had to climb into the bed because there was not space around the perimeter. Room wasn't cleaned one day; garbage not disposed of another day. Sink didn't drain properly. Garbage at courtesy counter in hall wasn't emptied.
Location was great.

Worst part was the thin walls and ceilings, had to call the desk because neighbor upstairs was literally practicing his guitar in the middle of the night and I could hear every footstep.
Best part was the bed, so comfy with super soft sheets and squishy pillows.

We arrived there at 2am, after spending half an hour trying to find the place. Turns out it is located in a "pedestrian walkway". Closest parking was a couple blocks away AND had to be paid for. Once we arrived, while my husband when to find parking, I went into the room and to the restroom. There was hair all over the floor! Not only that, but when we went to turn down the covers for the bed, there was hair under the comforter! My husband and I changed the entire bed after the staff brought us clean bedding. They gave us a free meal card for our troubles. The next morning, the outlet in the bathroom went out. Will never be going back to this hotel. The cost of this hotel for 3 nights total was over $1100.
The food there was a little too new agey for me. I like good old fashioned bacon, eggs, pancakes, waffles.....

I had no idea there was no parking at the hotel. GPS told me prepare to find parking and WALK to hotel! And it was completely hidden! Never saw anything like it in my life and I had some several bags! Finally called the hotel and was asked “where are you” and then “Stay where you are. I’ll come to you.” which was a normal occurrence I was told. And the poor girl was the ONLY person to help guests. The room was clean and modern but too modern. Very hard to maneuver. Very bad design and I’m a professional designer! And someone got paid for that. Unbelievable! Horrible experience.
