The Hotel Salem

The Hotel Salem

6/10 Okay

"I will start with saying the staff was great. They handled everything very well. They do warn you ahead there is no parking and that Ubers can’t pick up or drop off in front of the hotel because it is in the middle of a block that is closed off as a pedestrian walkway. Even though they communicated that I didn’t think there was no way to drop off luggage and then park. Also the pedestrian walkway is all stone and brick so you have to roll your suitcases over that. We got to our room (we had a king room) and the luggage holder was broken, so we had to address that first. Then when we’re in the room we noticed items not being maintained…..dresser had chips in the wood, the windowsills were damaged, the sink didn’t drain well, the plastic molding on the floor under the weird barn doors (see below) was cracked and rough. I noticed that after I ran my foot into it. I am glad I had socks on or I’m sure I would have cut my foot. The bathroom situation is weird. The toilet is in a separate room from the shower and sink. So after you use the bathroom you have to walk out to got to the other room where the sink is to wash your hands. The shower/sink room has 2 barn doors that come together. They don’t close tight together so it doesn’t really feel private. One of those doors looked a little beat up too. I have stayed at other Lark properties in the past and I was disappointed that in this one. It is in a good location if you want to walk around Salem."

Hawthorne Hotel

Hawthorne Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great stay overall. The hotel is centrally located and convenient for exploring Salem. While I appreciated the historic character and charm, I didn't sleep particularly well because I found the beds quite firm. The property is a great choice for those interested in the history of the building, but if I return to Salem, I would likely choose a more updated hotel. For example, the bathroom layout was unusual—the shower was in a separate room on the opposite side of the guest room from the toilet and sink, which felt a bit inconvenient."

The Salem Inn

The Salem Inn

8/10 Good

"This is a charming inn with two different old houses. It’s well located and has a fabulous breakfast that’s included. Two things I would say for house we were in. One, there is no indoor sitting area. Our room, while quite large, had only a small love seat and the common area was not decorated to accommodate sitting. So having indoor drinks before dinner wasn’t really a good option. There is a very nice patio for outdoor relaxing. The bigger issue was the ice maker. It is LOUD and it went off at irregular intervals during two of our three nights. Apparently it is supposed to be turned off at night but it wasn’t. It was impossible to sleep through. Otherwise, we had good service and a nice stay"
