Walking to downtown Salem was safe. Only a microwave in the office wasn't ideal for a multiple day stay. There was upgrades to the property that will when done be a serious plus. Ice machine needs replacement or service and maybe another one next to the linen closet at the other end of property. We bought ice at local store. Overall staff was great

A really beautifully decorated King suite room at a reasonable price. Short drive into town or walk to nearby shops. Lobby staff were helpful but not staffed over 24 hrs. We enjoyed its excellent roomy bedroom with TV snd and separate sitting area with a second large screen TV. Sink and fridge in the dining table area where we enjoyed a take out meal. No microwave or utensils but very pleasant to sit in with comfy sofa. Would stay again.

The staff was very nice and very communicative both before and after. The room was amazing! We did the under the sea room and my daughter had to call two of her friends to show them and tell them all about it. The beds were comfortable. Staff gave me a great recommendation for dinner, which was superb. I wished there was a microwave in the room or a hot tub on the property but those are more wishful thinking list items. Overall a wonderful stay that I would do again.

It is really spacious and decorated well. We loved the area above the lobby with games. Unfortunately we didn’t have any sheet/blanket in the closet or on the pull out for my son. Since we didn’t go to bed until almost 10pm we weren’t able to contact anyone that late since it wasn’t an emergency matter. It would be essential to have a blanket/pillow/sheet stocked in the closet. We shared ours with him but he was still cold. It is close to everything we thought

Was disappointed this time around. I spent 4 nights at the hotel and housekeeping never cleaned our room. I told the staff 3 days in a row that we needed towels and a change of trash, and I was told that housekeeping would take care of it, and they never did! I’m not a Karen but i’m extremely disappointed after spending close to $2000 and had to chase staff for work that should be done. Being too busy was not a good enough excuse when I spend that much money to stay at your hotel. I also found a shirt under my bed that didn’t belong to me, which tells me that the room wasn’t properly cleaned. I won’t even get started on the family with 2 children above me who sounded like they were either having a dance party or playing soccer from 7am to 11pm. The hotel is really pretty but I’m going to look around the next time I stay in Salem.

We recently stayed at the cove and it was just ok. The staff was not overly helpful or friendly. We showed up two hours before check in, tired from our travel, and were told that our room was in fact ready but we would not be allowed access unless we paid $40. We were tired and shocked, at no other hotel have we ever been charged for early check in if the room was ready. I understand booking and paying for early check in to guarantee early check in, however, not being charged in this manner. Additionally, the ice machine didn’t work, and the beds were hot and uncomfortable.

Average stay, not worth what we paid however.

Super cute witch room to enjoy on our first trip to Salem. Cleaning staff leaves the doors open while cleaning so be prepared to arrive to a very hot room though. However, the AC thankfully cooled it down by the time we slept at midnight. Staff is super sweet and they have a room you can get extra towels in at any time of the day. Real lack of plugs in the room though and not all of ours worked which made a struggle for this family of 4 charging all devices overnight. Biggest con is the room is extremely bright for sleeping because the curtains are thin and every room has a light outside it that’s on all night. Sidenote: 10/10 recommend breakfast at Coffee Time Bake Shop right down the door. The best donuts!

Held my friend’s lowkey bachelorette weekend here & loved it.

We had a beautiful 2 queen bed suite with a wet bar, an awesome bathroom, and a great living room/dining space.

Check-in was super easy, and really appreciated the ample self-parking on premises. The room and the grounds were well kept and clean, and loved having access to the guest supply closets on each floor for extra pillows, blankets, coffee, etc.

Only point of contention was not being able to figure out how to access the game room/clubhouse with the ice maker after the lobby closed at 8 PM, but that’s just a small detail.

We rented the witches cottage room. Don’t do it. It doesn’t feel like a theme room. It feels weird and incomplete. Also, obviously there was water damage at some point and my foot literally went underneath one of the vinyl planks and it cut the top of two toes. For a room that was meant to be ADA compliant. There were pieces of the floor by the bathroom that felt so soft. We stepped over them. The water damage probably explained why the room smelled musty when we came in The bathroom actually was the most beautiful part of the room. The bed didn’t even fit on the bed frame. There was about a foot gap at the bottom. The whole thing just felt very cheap. Check-in was OK, but it was just someone sitting at a table with a tablet. The outside seating area was nice, but I couldn’t figure out how to turn on any of the fire elements in the evening. It would’ve been way nicer if there was a pool. We’re definitely not gonna stay here again..

There was plenty of parking, which made my stay very convenient. It's about a 20-minute walk to downtown Salem, and I enjoyed being able to walk into town.

I do think the room could have been cleaned a bit better, as the end tables hadn't been wiped down. The TV screen also appeared to have chemical damage, with pink drip marks visible across the top of the screen. I notified the front desk before checking out so they were aware. Fortunately, the bathroom and bed were both very clean and well maintained, which was the most important part for me.

The front desk staff was incredibly kind and welcoming. Overall, I had a wonderful stay and would definitely consider staying here again.

The Cove was a beautiful place to spend the night. The room was great. The only thing I would recommend is having a coffee pot or Keurig. It did have a coffee type pot that you brew water and add a coffee bag. Didn't really like that. It is great for tea but not coffee. The host was great and I loved sitting in the courtyard. It is close to things in town and there is a Dunkin Donuts across the street for a quick breakfast. Very nice and quiet place to stay.

Best place to stay in Salem. Very close to local events and museums. Right down the street from satans temple which was so awesome to walk through. Very clean. Rooms are big, beds are comfortable. The staff had some good locations for food. Ala in all my daughter and I had a great visit.

This is definitely a budget hotel without budget prices. When we arrived there was dark hair in the shower and ants all over the bathroom. We pulled out the sofa bed and the sheets were filthy and obviously used and not changed. That bed was unusable. The sheets in the main bed were stained but seemed clean. The walls are paper thin and the pipes in the bathroom knocked loudly all night long. Ice machine was broken and there was never anyone available at the desk for help. The ants were a problem our entire stay and the room had a weird odor. The location was good and the beds were decently comfortable but make no mistake this is a low budget motel 6 with some minor decorative upgrades.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Cove. The room is so adorable and was very clean and comfy. We were within walking distance of downtown Salem and enjoyed the walk. The staff was amazing and helped us figure out what to do while we were there. We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our stay at the cove very much. The unit was about as big as my home studio apartment. 2 queen beds in a separate bedroom and another queen fold out in the living area. The bathroom was also spacious and well lit.
The kitchenette was great but would be even better if a small microwave was added. The community microwave in the “play room” was better than nothing but a wee bit of a distance for us. The ice machine worked once in the 5 days we stayed. Bought bags of ice at the liquor store a short walk away.
We really appreciated the combo for the storage closet so we could grab extra towels, cups and coffee. We’d rather not bother the office folk so it worked out well for us.
The office peeps were friendly and helpful and it made our stay all the more pleasant.
It was a busy few days at The Cove while we were there. Once a couple of ladies tried to get into our room before they realized they had the wrong room. Two other nights (one at 3am) someone banged on our door then left. We assume it was another case of mistaken room.
We enjoyed the outside area with fire pits, bbq grills, a giant jenga game and comfy swinging chairs as well as standard tables and chairs.
The upstairs game room was fun, too! Our 9 year old boy enjoyed playing foosball with a Dad as well as the snacks in the vending machine but it really needed refilling.
We liked the microwave popcorn but less than 1/2 actually popped. That happens at home, too. Parking was plentiful. Good location.

Smoking is practically off the property and thats totally fine! Honestly, it’s nice going to a hotel and it looking as cute and cozy as this one!! They had themed rooms (all booked but now i will plan in the future to get one!). We will absolutely come back!

I woke up in the middle of the night with about 100 ants next to my bed. But I can’t even tell the staff until 9 AM because there’s no staff at night. When I did finally get to the staff they only gave me one option, which is to stay in an ice cave themed room. Which does not sound appealing and let me tell you do not run that room. It is terrible. I wasn’t able to get athey only gave me one option, which is to stay in an ice cave themed room. Which does not sound appealing and let me tell you do not run that room. It is terrible. I wasn’t able to get a refund I wasn’t able to get out of my contract. They were gonna make me stay regardless of ants and regardless if I was comfortable, staying in the ice cave room or not. I would not recommend this hotel. It is a one to star 1 to 2 star hotel if that.

The staff were very kind, the room was clean and decorated super cool. Everything was great for our one night stay except we were unaware prior to booking/check-in that there was construction occurring on the property. It didn’t get in the way of anything but it was pretty loud. Other than that it was a great stay!

The hotel was clean and comfortable, I liked that it sat away from the road, the outdoor area was clean and we spent a lot of time out there by the fire pits. The area around it has gas, water and food within walking distance. Lots of sidewalks.

The motel was cheaply remodeled so its starting to fall apart even though it was a recent remodel. The toilet paper roll was falling out of the wall and the walls and ceiling are paper thin so you can hear everyone around you. The property had a lot of rundown stuff like a decrepit building and dead plants that were eye sores. Its also kind of far from town, but the walk felt safe.

Overall we enjoyed our stay because it wasn't busy, I dont know if I would stay here again though it was a bit of a disappointment.

You know that friend who remodeled their house after soaking on Instagram? This hotel had that vibe. Cute and seemingly modern at first glance. Clean, simple. Wet bar and beverage fridge. But furniture not fully assembled. A bed frame that uses cheap shelving brackets, shower curtain hung too low so you’re standing on it in the shower. The table was too small to even play a board game on. Nearly 9$ for a can of cider from the lobby mini fridge. Felt like it was trying to be more than it was. I’m not a local so maybe the price is what it is for the area.

We stayed in the pirate theme room and it was awesome! Just a note, inside the ship at the bottom there is literally zero air flow in there, but that is just the nature of the bed. It was so awesome. The place was super clean. The elevator is pretty far but the stair case is right by the room and it honestly wasn’t bad bring all your stuff up. The thing I want to express is how amazing the outdoor area was. We got to use the grill and the fire pits. The chairs are well maintained and comfortable. We had an amazing time out side and kept feeling bad for not being in our theme room but it was truly beautiful. We did go when it wasn’t busy, so I am sure that had a lot to do with how much access we had to everything but it was awesome.

Had The best time; The room was a bit short on the clean side.. ie crumbs etc saw some ants BUT clean sheets, towels, furniture etc. it just seemed like the cleaner was in a rush, I just think someone missed the mark.

Location is 10/10. Property is amazing and everyone was friendly! Lots of amenities. Fireplace in the courtyard, lots of places for pictures! Parking is easy, and doors are accessible to the outside. Beds were comfy and it was mostly quiet! Seems they are putting up an air-conditioned room for the summer and fixing the burned units in another spot of the property.

We stayed 3 nights and housekeeping didn't come at all. one of the days we told them we didn't need it. We had to go and get coffee bags twice and they are very stingy with them, give you 2. One night we came back to our room and lock was changed, had to go to office for new code. Bed was comfortable I will say. Also temperature in room never changed even when you put the heat up. It was a cold rainy weekend, Brrr.

Swing chairs on the patio were fun, but the place was understaffed. The check in hours were not clearly communicated, and we were own with minimal cell signal and no wifi to get the remote check in going.
The bathroom ceiling was peeling so much our kids wouldn't take a bath. The fixtures all looked new and modern, but the shower head was not something I'd ever select- possibly the most uncomfortable I've ever felt in a warm shower.
The room was spacious, but beds uncomfortable. Coffee in room was terrible, but the tea was great.
Full of highs and lows. With a different check in experience, the overall rating would have been a 3, but I wouldn't recommend or go back. The highs weren't worth the lows.

Obviously i booked this place because of the specialty room but it ended up being so much better than that! The staff was so friendly and helpful. Tons of parking. The room was way bigger than i expected and it had one of those bigger deep tubs. It was actually more than we needed.
What a great experience. We'll be back.
