Reviews and Ratings
I found this hotel to be quite a mixed experience. On the upside, the rooms were clean, quiet, and nicely appointed, but they felt a bit small and dorm-like. The service was very friendly, especially with the vegan breakfast option offered, although the housekeeping could be more attentive. The location was perfect for exploring Salem Marblehead, with a charming setting near historic sites. However, the dining was a bit hit or miss, as the options varied each day. Overall, it's a decent spot at a fair price.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were incredibly cute and comfortable, even though they didn't have a TV. Our spacious King size room came with a plug-in tea kettle and refrigerator, which was so convenient. The only downside was that the room could get a bit humid with the window A/C unit and was a little dark.
