This inn is lovely. The outdoor patio is beautiful. The room, immaculate and the beds comfy. Our shower in the bath was spacious. Plenty of towels and there are even robes if you like. Had a drink in the bar. The whole place is just wonderful. We didn't eat there because we wanted to go to Finz in Salem, but a look at the menu says the food is varied and delicious.

Unfortunately, we spent only one night at this very quaint historic hotel. The room was spacious and had an incredibly comfortable bed! There is a restaurant, beautiful outdoor patio with bar, string lights and even a speakeasy in the basement! Parking was easy and free. The hotel staff was wonderful!

Great stay. Only 2 critiques: There is quite a bit of street noise, but it's at a busy intersection so what can you really do. The wifi is a tad slow, at least on the 3rd floor. Otherwise, lovely.

Comfortable and luxe room for solo Salem traveler

If you're looking to visit Salem and save on lodging, this is the place. I visited for 3 nights (no car) and I was pretty happy. The Salem Skipper picks up about 2 blocks away, a short walk and an easy ride into downtown Salem (just be prepared to wait about 20-25 minutes). Down the road there is an amazing coffee shop, Breaking Grounds, with the best morning fare (gluten free options available). The hotel also provides little pastries, fruit, and yogurt for free. My room was clean and really luxe feeling. The bed was comfortable, lots of pillows, and the shower was super nice (takes a while for the water to heat up, just fyi). Plush towels, TV, mini fridge, robes, and even a diffuser with the hair dryer! Couldn't ask for a nicer room for a great price. One note, which I didn't dock a star for: Be prepared to kind of be on your own, there is really no front desk staff unless the Tavern itself is open (and even then it's hard to find someone, as I experienced during my stay when I wanted to update my payment method). But I did eventually contact someone after I was home, and they fixed the issue quickly.
