Top Downtown Gloucester Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Boston North Shore

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was helpful on checking and room was clean. Parking was confusing as it had use their QR code to pay for Parking and parking was a distance from the room. Breakfast was enjoyable and reasonably priced."

Salem Waterfront Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The hotel and our room were very clean, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The location is perfect—you can easily walk to most of the sites, shops, and attractions in Salem. Even better, the hotel offers a shuttle that will take you anywhere in downtown Salem, which was such a convenient bonus! We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back!"

The Cove At Salem

8/10 Good

"Rooms were clean and very spacious. Staff was just wonderful. It is about a mile walk into the heart of town so that should be kept in mind. We knew that going in, so we were obviously ok with it. My only complaint would be that the hotel advertises the courtyard and patio but it is shared with a bar and open to those patrons. 3 different couples brought their very young children after dark one night and they were running amuck, which seemed a little inappropriate and definitely detracted from the quiet enjoyment of the patio and fire pits."
