Lovely inn, charming town

My husband and I loved the inn, and we both thought the staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. The beds and pillows were really comfortable. Having drinks by the fire in the evening was charming, and breakfast was very pleasant. They went out of their way to accommodate my food allergy, which was much appreciated.

Girls trip with the kids

Rented two rooms with my sister in law and kids. We were checked in by a fashionably dressed young man. Shout out to his shirt from express men! Check in was a breeze and the staff is very friendly. The hotel is lovely and has a great historical feel. Unfortunately, we didn’t receive any hauntings during our stay. Some of the kids might have been happy about that. They offered complimentary water, lemonade, coffee, tea and hot cocoa. The hotel is in perfect walking distance for all the shops and restaurants

It was a great location for anyone who wants to get around Salem quickly. My only real complaint is the lack of AC at this time of year. But that was mitigated by the window and a fan

We loved our quick stay at the Hawthorne Hotel! Though our room wasn't huge, the beds were absolutely dreamy - so comfy we didn't want to get up! The best part? You literally step outside and boom - you're right in front of the Salem Witch Trial Museum!

If you have plans to visit Salem, this hotel should be on your list of options. It is centrally located in the middle of everything which makes it so easy to walk to any place you desire for shopping or dining. It was also affordable. The room we had was compact, but had everything we needed. If you don't want to leave to dine, there is a restaurant on site.
