Reviews and Ratings
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was ready early, but noise was an issue. The water pressure was decent, but hot water took a while, and pressure dropped when others used showers. On the plus side, the room had a king bed and a sleeper sofa, which was convenient.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of comfort and convenience. The room was clean and extremely comfortable, but the view was not as expected. The service was good, although housekeeping was a bit late. The location was fantastic for exploring the town and nearby attractions. The dining experience was average with only limited options available. Overall, a decent stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel was nice, but the rooms were dark and somewhat depressing compared to other inns I've stayed in. It would be helpful if the rooms had a microwave and refrigerator. Unfortunately, cleanliness was lacking, with hairs found in the bathroom and bed. The foyer needs a complete makeover. The staff at the bar and restaurant could improve their attitude and customer service. Overall, it was not a great experience for the price paid.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms overlooked an alley, which was noisy in the mornings, and lacked basic amenities like a microwave and refrigerator. The bathroom needed updating, especially considering the high price I paid for one night without breakfast. On the bright side, the staff was friendly and very helpful, offering various services. The location was convenient for walking to many sites in Salem, but not particularly close to the main tourist area. Although the hotel had dining options, I found the breakfast limited for the price paid.
The hotel was exactly what we hoped for - clean, comfy rooms in a great location. The service was friendly, but the dining experience left a bit to be desired. Overall, a solid choice for a stay.
The hotel worked out to be quite expensive at £250 for one night without breakfast, but it was clean and well-kept. The rooms, although not very large, served their purpose for our stay in Salem.
The hotel offers decent rooms, though the temperature control was an issue and some noise from neighboring units could be heard; however, the rooms were clean and of good size. The service was a bit mixed, with some staff being very helpful while others seemed distracted. The location is convenient for accessing major attractions but had some noise disruptions early in the morning. The dining experience was enjoyable overall. The facilities were satisfactory.
My stay at the hotel was simply delightful. The rooms were spacious and had everything you needed. The hotel was clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful, what more can you ask for?
The hotel is ideally positioned for visiting historic sites and taking trolley tours. It's centrally located, making it easy to walk to local shops, attractions, and restaurants. There was easy access to Salem's October activities, although the view was facing an alley where supply trucks delivered.
