A very quaint and pretty property and area. Room was small but comfortable. Amenities could improve such as having hangers for the closet, WiFi info at check-in, and better coffee arrangement for early morning.

Beautiful historical home. But $400 a night is too expensive for a small, bare bones room

The rooms are quite small and dated and the breakfast is quite limited. On the plus side, the area around the hotel seemed very attractive with a lovely sitting area around a fountain where you could probably meet and chat with other guests. Unfortunately for us, the weather was cool and rainy so we couldn't take advantage of any of that. All in all, the hotel isn't worth the price in poor weather but might be in good.

Disappointing stay

The hotel looked old and things seemed to be falling apart like door knobs. It was also a bit noisy from traffic outside and the fridge and heating system in the room. The people working there were nice though and helpful.

Great place to explore the coast

I spent 2 nights here, exploring the New England coast. The room was comfortable, with a comfy bed, nice hot shower and a small fridge. Staff were friendly and the simple breakfast in the morning was delicious. Off street parking and great place to explore the area.

This was a beautiful stay. It was very clean, quiet, and charming. The room was big, clean, and had amazing features like the molding and details on the ceiling. The bathroom was nice too. There are restaurants and entertainment close by. It was an easy process checking in and out. Very satisfied, and will definitely be coming back.

Loved how small and cute this place was. It made for a lovely and personal experience. The only downside is because it’s a historic house, the walls are thin. But… it was great.

Pretty and welcoming. Helpful. Morning staff quite late putting out breakfast ( I’d been told 7:30, was being set up just before 8) but maybe a miscommunication.

The Hotel was quite cute, wasn't sure what to expect. Surprisingly quiet. Very close to Salem and short drive to other coastal areas. Would definitely stay again.
