I felt right at home in this hotel, with beautiful staff and a central location great for exploring the Peabody-Essex Museum and historic district. The rooms were clean and comfortable, offering a great view of the commons, though a bit small. The service was incredibly friendly, adding to the overall stay. Dining was delicious, especially the handmade pasta, but a bit pricey. The facilities were well-executed with a touch of silverware, making the experience worthwhile.

I had a lovely beer trip through New England staying at this hotel. The room was nice, albeit slightly on the small side, but entirely functional. However, I felt it was overpriced for the size offered. The service in the Tavern was top-notch, with staff being very helpful, kind, and welcoming. The location was perfect, within walking distance to everything in Salem. The dining experience at the Easter Grand Buffet had some great options but lacked in temperature for some dishes. Overall, a classic hotel in an amazing location, although booking through a third-party site limited my stay initially.
