This was my second stay at Hotel Salem and I can’t say enough positive things about it. Rooms are clean, all the staff is friendly, location is by far the best, as you walk out right onto Essex street the heart of Salem! We love it, we enjoy staying every time we visit Salem! I don’t want to spend my time at any other hotel! I would def recommend!

If you don’t stay here while I’m Salem you’re doing yourself a disservice. The hotel is centrally located, clean, and the most friendly staff. Highly recommend and would stay here again.
