    This was a stopover on a drive from Maine to Virginia, and included a look at an historic city.

    The hotel restaurant/bar was closed. Although a room-service breakfast could be ordered, dine-in breakfast was not available. We were able to find a nearby diner with an early breakfast. Our room looked out onto a parking lot and city parking garage, and not the port and docks. At $278 per night, this hotel seemed a bit overpriced. We observed some vagrancy and substance abuse in the area, although we were not ourselves threatened. The historic sites operated by the National Park Service were not open due to seasonal closures.

    This hotel is within easy walking distance of the historic Salem port, and of restaurants in this historic district. Our room was large, with two huge beds {one king-sized bed might have been preferable}.

    The only criticism is the rooms do not have a fridge. The restaurant/bar was under renovation, but was ok for us.

    Location is perfect. New renovation is nice. Rooms are comfortable.

    Due to renovations, there was no restaurant and bar, but it wasn't a problem due to the location, plenty in the town.

    The room was fantastic

    Overall it was good, you can see in some spots where things aren’t perfect (some peeling paint, showerhead pulling away from the wall a bit) but it didn’t negatively impact my stay.

    Staff was very kind, location was great, very comfortable room.

    The restaurant in the hotel was closed for remodel which we did not know before hand. You could only order room service. Some things were good others were not. Food comes very quick which was great. Sometimes missing an item, no big deal easily got what was forgotten. Breakfast was very good the dinner was not. Dinner was cold and soggy.

    Close to all things we wanted to see. Within walking distance. Updated, clean, comfortable room. Friendly staff. Keurig machine with complimentary coffee in the room was great! Housekeeping was good we got anything we needed no problem. The mini fridge was quite large and great quality.

    They didn’t have an restaurant or bar where you can sit down and eat some food. Also they were renovating the hotel, which they never mentioned but the worst because of that was the fact that they started drilling at 9am and in the room RIGHT NEXT to mine!

    The location was amazing! Everything is walkable and within decent distance.

    Unfortunately the restaurant was closed for renovation and we could not have breakfast (though they do offer room service).

    I just wished we would have been told ahead of time that the restaurant was closed all week for renovations. It was only available for room service which was fine but we wouldve liked to eat those meals in the restaurant.

    Nice hotel, clean, quiet, good location.

    It was confirmed by Jonathan that we would have adjoining rooms for the weekend and when checked in they provided back to back rooms. Having kids with us we really needed the adjoining rooms. We settled on back to back as the only adjoining rooms left were over the ballroom and bar and I was told it was loud until sometimes 12-1am. We made it work but it was a bit more stressful for us. I appreciate the help we got from the girl at the front desk though she was very kind and really helpful with the whole situation.

    They are updating the property and it looks very nice. The staff was empathetic even though accommodations that were confirmed prior to arrival were not followed through on.
