Why Do People Love The Salem Inn?

Fantastic location, comfortable beds and wonderful staff! Four of us stayed very comfortably in the family suite at The Salem Inn’s West House. We enjoyed a plentiful breakfast each morning and happy hour each evening after a long day of sightseeing. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. We will definitely be back!

My friend and I stayed for a girl’s weekend and we loved it so much we plan on re-booking every year around this time.

The staff that we interacted with was absolutely wonderful! Short of joining our party for a personal town tour, I don’t believe they could have been more helpful! The Inn is in a perfect location for many of the towns attractions, everything that we had planned on visiting was within very easy walking distance. The preordering of breakfast and table reservations was excellent, both in timing and taste.

Everything about the Salem Inn was lovely. The Location was perfect, it was right in the middle of everything. And I am sorry, being able to see the Witches house from OUR ROOM was priceless! I loved the Contactless check in, the staff was super friendly and helpful with all my random requests and questions. Breakfast was DELICIOUS every morning! there were 3 options when we were there so I chose something different each morning and each option was not a disappointment. the bed was super comfortable and the room was very cozy and CLEAN! Such an amazing experience over all. When I come back to Salem I will always stay at the Salem Inn. 🙂

The Salem Inn has a lot of charm. It is also very close to local activities and shops/restaurants. I will definitely stay there again on my next trip to Salem.

My husband and I stayed at the Salem Inn for two nights and would highly recommend it! Our room was clean and comfortable and we had our our little balcony where we could relax with a glass of wine. There was wine served on the patio of one of the houses and a wonderful breakfast every morning, which was included with our room fee. The location was amazing; it was within walking distance of everything we wanted to see in Salem! We would definitely stay there again. A special shout out to our housekeeper, Rose, who was such a sweetheart.

Everything about this experience was simply one word-EASY! From finding a room, to checking in/checking out, and reserving breakfast was very well organized. My sister and I stayed in the Curwen House-Room C23 which was The Bowditch room. Very spacious and very clean! The Curwen House is located diagonal from the Ropes Mansion, and right down the street from The Witch House and Essex Street. We parked the car upon arrival and did not need it again until we left. We’re already booked for The West House in 2023 and we cannot wait to go back!

I loved everything about the Salem Inn! Staying in a restored historic home was really special and they did such a good job of keeping the history while also making it feel modern and fresh. The service was wonderful, room was clean and comfortable and had cool closets and cubbies for my son to discover. The location was perfect, breakfast was delicious!

The dining area was very home-y! I love the way it was set up and the food was cooked fresh to order. The servers, yes servers, were delightful and chipper. So pleased with the whole experience at The Salem Inn and will definitely return!

Our experience with Salem Inn was exceptional. The Curwen House is beautiful and the room was perfect. We had a very enjoyable, comfortable stay. The staff is wonderful, attentive, inviting and very accommodating. The open table feature was a plus for reserving our morning breakfast and choosing our meals. The 4-6 pm wine serving was a very nice touch which also served as a way of meeting some staff and other lodgers. We are definitely coming back to stay at the Salem Inn.
