Hawthorne Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Me and my daughter stayed here to meet up with a long-time friend on her comedy tour. We love Salem and had never stayed in the Hawthorne. Beautiful hotel. Walkable to many locations. The restaurant in side was delicious. Hoping to stay here again sometime."

Candlewood Suites Boston North Shore Danvers by IHG

4/10 Poor

"Our stay at the hotel was very disappointing due to issues with the air conditioning. We booked a double suite, but the AC in the room did not work at all—no matter how we adjusted the thermostat, it would not turn on. We reported the issue to the front desk, and initially they said they would try to get a repair person to look at it. However, later that evening we were informed that no maintenance staff would be available until Monday, leaving the problem unresolved during our stay. To their credit, staff did check the unit and confirmed the issue, but the only solution offered was a box fan placed in the window. Unfortunately, this was not a sufficient fix. After two nights of poor sleep in an uncomfortable room, it was clear the staff did not have an effective plan to resolve the situation. Overall, this significantly impacted our experience. "

The Cove At Salem

10/10 Excellent

"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."

The Northshore Hotel - Boston/Danvers

6/10 Okay

"The room was generally clean, but the amenities were terrible. There was no shampoo, conditioner or body soap. There were reusable fillable containers that were empty.. We had no toilet paper. I had to ask for toilet paper and extra towels and we just made do with the one bar of soap we were given. The bed was fine. There is a refrigerator. The breakfast was awful. The coffee maker wasn’t working and then by the time they got it working it was basically Sanka/some powdered coffee mix. "

DoubleTree by Hilton Boston North Shore

8/10 Good

"This is an excellent location for a large group or family setting. Highly recommended with friendly staff members. My wife and daughter indicated that the lobby area Women's bathroom was well used and could use some attention but the Men's room was just fine. The shower heads can use an update but the rooms were very comfortable and clean. The room was serviced each day as well. The on premise water park is a highly recommend and is large and spacious and can accommodate large crowds. A highly recommended facility for any occasion and event, and I have stayed here before. A big fan."
