Top Downtown Salem Hotel Reviews

Harborside Inn Of Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Cutest little Boutique Hotel ever! Perfect location for seeing all Boston has to offer. The restaurant attached to the hotel was wonderful and offer hotel guests a discount. I would definitely stay here again!"

Arcadian Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location. Easy walk over to BU, Fenway. The trolley stop right in front is also terrific. If I had any criticism, it would just be regarding the breakfast buffet. Instead of having a lot of bagels and bread, it would’ve been nice to have perhaps a cheese danish or a croissant. Also, the only cheeses offered were two varieties of American cheese. It would’ve been appreciated if there had been other kinds of cheeses. Nevertheless, it’s a great hotel and I will definitely stay there again."
