We really enjoyed our stay at the Hawthorne Hotel except the fire alarm went off in the building after my family (including 13 month baby) went to sleep. We had to evacuate down the stairs just to find out in the lobby it was nothing. Thankful it was nothing, but very disruptive/stressful for us.

Room was just OK… No microwave, no fridge. I know this is supposed to be a Heritage hotel, but they could make it a little more comfortable…the bathroom so very tiny…one person could barely fit in there. Probably won’t stay here again for the price.

First time in Salem… super cool place to visit! This is a wonderful historic hotel… great location, walking distance to everything, free parking is on site behind the building. The room and bathroom are small but both very clean. The hotel’s Tavern was great for a late night dinner and drink after a ghost tour, especially because most places close early on a Monday night.
