The Hotel was charming. The staff was helpful and friendly. The rooms were nice and large as well as the bathrooms. The location is prime location. My only complaint was the bed. The bed was lumpy and terrible. I tossed and turned and woke up all night. In the morning I had so much back and neck pain.

I booked the room on the wrong day and it was the same day that I tried to book it for the 17th of September. When I realized I booked it wrong an hour later. Neither Expedia or the hotel would help me. So I paid over $400. And didn't even stay there. And I wasn't looking for a refund just to change the date and nothing

Unable to visit the library due to construction issues. Unable to have breakfast due to some air-conditioning issue. Unable to visit the second floor due to some sort of upgrades. Other than that, the rooms are very clean. Very odd layout, though due to how old the building is. The shower was in a separate room from the bathroom. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Plenty of parking and nice central location for all things Salem.

Overall, I really liked this hotel. While I understand it is an older historical hotel, the rooms and bathrooms are small. They could also use some upkeep in terms of painting, etc..

The property was very convenient to everything in Salem including the short walk to the commuter rail depot to Boston. Our room and the bathroom were very small, which was disappointing since we stayed there 5 nights. When we checked in I asked the desk attendant if we could get a bigger room and she told me I should have done this request with Expedia prior to checking in. I was ot happy with her attitude and unresponsiveness. In summary it is a great historic hotel and very convenient.

The hotel also has to great restaurants on property, which both are worth a visit.

The hotel was clearly very beautiful and held a lot of history. The room was a bit tight for our family of 5 - especially the tiny bathrooms, but the beds were incredible. I liked that parking was included and the hotel was in walking distance of a lot of things in Salem. We ate at one restaurant in the hotel for dinner and the other restaurant for breakfast. Both were fine but not great. The wait staff at breakfast accidentally spilled maple syrup on my son, the table, and the floor. They apologized, but they didn’t clean it up. We had to ask for a wet cloth so we could clean it up ourselves, which I thought was so odd they wouldn’t have jumped in to remedy the mistake. We also made use of the free guest pass to the local YMCA. We loved having access to that! Unfortunately, a water main break at the hotel caused a massive leak in the first and second floors so there were dehumidifiers and industrial-sized fans everywhere in the lobby. The front desk were clearly strained from the intensity of the situation, but they were helpful anytime we had a question.

We ate breakfast in the cafe and it was very disappointing. We were the first ones seated for breakfast and we waited almost an hour for our food. The food was very sub standard. Fried eggs were like eating a frozen product that was reheated and over done in the microwave. Waffle might have also been a frozen product put in a toaster. Would definitely not recommend.

This is a hotel in the heart of Salem, so it is convenient to the shops without having to drive, or ride. It is also a hotel with lots of history, and is on the Historical Hotels list. If you want modern, and spacious, this is not the place for you. The Hawthorne is a hotel that transports you back in time. It demands a quiet respect for the fascinating look back at the craftsmanship of days gone by. The staff is very accommodating, and the rooms are clean. Is there some paint chips on the fixtures? Yes. Is the elevator small? Yes. But, there is a postal drop box on each floor, and the elevator still has a wooden ceiling. It is history incarnate, in a city you come to for history. It will set the ambiance for your whole trip.

Having arrived an hour early, I checked in with the staff at the front desk and was so grateful they allowed me to park the car there although I was early. Everything about this hotel is as I had hoped. I’ve traveled to Salem for many years usually annually. The Hawthorne Hotel had caught my eye many years ago, and I finally remembered to book a room there. I’m with my two young teenage granddaughters and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The beds and linens and room were very comfortable. The bathroom is small but very usable. There isn’t a closet, but we were only there for a day so that wasn’t a problem. Every staff member was so helpful in congenial. I will stay there again!

Good to have parking. A good perk is free parking. The basement level has a beautiful library and conference room that looks like the hull of a ship. The restaurant in the hotel is good but pricey. The Nathaniel Hawthorne clam chowder is a small bowl and expensive....Walking distance to many things. Rooms are small and the bed fills up most of the room. No view to speak off. But it is a heritage hotel and the connection to Hawthorne was why I stayed. The staff were pleasant and helpful.

We had a lovely wedding now the garden was set up beautifully just as the bride was about to come out. It did start to rain.
The staff transformed the hall so quickly everybody was inside in a gorgeous setting so quickly and promptly. It was amazing. The wedding went off without a hitch. Everybody’s very friendly and accommodating. The hall is gorgeous. The room so beautiful I would recommend it.

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.

This hotel was a great gem in the middle of downtown Salem. We enjoyed being able to walk to almost every point of interest. The room was spacious and chic. The shower was a bit small and parking was horrendous. The hotel host a lot of events so that contributed to the abundance of people in the area but we eventually got a spot toward the evening. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here.

Nice historic Building with a great location. The staff was helpful and the restaurant was very good. The free parking was convenient. The only complaint we have was the shower it was very small and had no water pressure. We knew it was and old place and did not expect modern amenities but when you can't rinse shampoo out of you hair its a problem.

Property was great, excellent location, nice staff. My problem was that there was a construction on the street right in front of my windows of the third floor. At night rattling plates when cars were driving by , since the morning construction noises. So honestly, the hotel is big…. Why you put guests the closest possible to the noise? Second, I wish that there was a fridge in the room. Overall I would be back but be aware of the room location.

Loved the old charm of this hotel. The staff is helpful. Some of the items in the hotel could be updated while still keeping the old charm. For example, the door handle on the bathroom was old and ready to fall off and the fixtures and window was very old. Overall, it was a good stay and I'd stay again.
