I am from Holland and the three of us made a trip from New York to Boston. We visited a lot of places and stayed in motels without making reservations. In total we had about 7 motels, but The Clipper Ship Inn was certainly the best. We had a lot of space, two rooms and that was very comfortable. The... More

Everything about this hotel was "good enough." It was clean enough, comfortable enough, well-kept enough. We stayed here during the high season (the weeks leading up to Halloween), which is when hotels in the area have their highest rates. The hotel did not have on-line registration, so I had to call and deal with mail-in registration (which was fine). The... More

Have stayed at The Clipper Ship Inn several times. Both business and pleasure. Reasonable rates, quiet, safe, secure, clean and the staff is more than helpful. You won't be disappointed in your choice to stay at The Clipper Ship Inn. The two room suites are roomy and offered at a great price. The rooms are as clean as a whistle,... More

My husband and I have stayed at this Inn several times and have always had a pleasant experience. The rooms are neat and clean. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the area and quick to recommend a restaurant or spot of interest. And the location is close enough to the downtown area of Salem (about a mile) that you... More

Reasonable rates for Salem. Very clean from court-yard, to office, to room. Able to make coffee and tea in the room is a plus. Check-in was fast by making rfeservation ahead of time. Very nice motel to stay at if visiting Salem, MA.
