We only encountered the front desk staff on check-in and she was very friendly and courteous. The room was clean and comfortable. We left early in the morning as we had somewhere to be. We liked the overall vibe and atmosphere of your hotel and the rate. We would definitely stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
The staff were not warm and comforting, most appeared unapproachable. Our room 420 had a damaged chandelier above the bed and it’s probably been that way for a while which is sad. We saw the same dirty dining ware outside the elevator on our floor the entire time we stayed there. The restaurant was mediocre at best. In 2025, the TVs should be upgraded to smart TVs by now. Upon arrival, our room smelled as if someone who cleaned the room spent some time using the bathroom. The library was sad and underwhelming. Breakfast was not offered and you have to pay to dine and eat breakfast, yet another expensive money grab. Overall, the Hawthorne hotel was disappointing, absolutely not worth the money, and sadly I will not be returning. This is upsetting as this was a bucket list of mine as I come to Salem yearly.

Staff is very kind, Room very big, two walk-in closets, smaller bathroom but very clean. The hotel is very pretty but still has an old feel to it adding to the Salem aesthetic.

It was a great stay, the only suggestion is adding a chair and ottoman to the rooms, somewhere comfortable to sit after a long day of walking Salem.
