“Charming, cozy and friendly”

Morning Glory Bed & Breakfast

Jan 2, 2008
4/4 found this review helpful

There's a reason this place is rated one of the best B&Bs in Salem. The proprietor, Bob Shea is wonderfully inviting and the building is tastefully decorated and immaculate. I stayed in the Rebecca Nurse Room which is just darling. With a working fire place and a four poster bed that was incredibly comfortable, I couldn't be more content. The room was spacious and cozy at the same time. I particularly liked the sitting room in the common area which felt like my own little living room, since no one else was using it. Breakfast itself was very simple, but it included home baked bread and scones...yummy indeed.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone. That it's gay owned was just another postive in my book.

This place is a gem...my only hesitation in writing such praise is that it might get too booked next time I want to stay there!

“Great stay at the Morning Glory”

Morning Glory Bed & Breakfast

Dec 9, 2007
3/3 found this review helpful

The Morning Glory is an absolute gem. The home itself is beautiful and located on a quiet side street a few steps from all of Salem's many attractions. The House of the Seven Gables is right across the street. My wife and I were fortunate enough to find a room a few short weeks before Halloween. Apparently, there had been a last minute cancellation. We spent five nights in the Rebecca Nurse room which was fabulous. The room is spacious and tastefully decorated. The bathroom was also quite large. Bob is a most gracious host. He is extremely friendly and is more than willing to help you with any questions which you may have. There's a great little place a block or so up on Derby St. called In a Pig's Eye. They have a nice selection of local micro-brewed beers on tap. Their steak quesadillas were very good. If you're interested in an awesome cup of coffee stop by Jaho's which also happens to be on Derby Street. Salem is a beautiful little town with a great many things to see and do during the month of October. I for one intend to be back next year for Halloween and am looking forward to staying at The Morning Glory. Thanks for everything Bob.

Great little B & B in salem. Located right next to The House of The Seven Gables, this inn is quiet, clean and comfortable. Walking distance to most of Salem's attractions. The room was spacious and nicely decorated. It had a private bath and flat screen TV. The inn has a very nice common area withh a computer, a refridgerator and a coffee maker. Breakfast was very good. It included coffee, juice, cereals, fresh fruit and wonderful home baked goods. Inn keeper Bob Shea does all he can to ensure you have a pleasnt stay.

“Exceptional Accomodations”

Morning Glory Bed & Breakfast

Dec 3, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

Morning Glory Bed & Breakfast is a truly exceptional guesthouse. The place itself harkens back to an earlier era and while the term charming is grossly overused, it really does apply here. It is very comfortable and Bob Shea has given a great eye to detail, from the wonderful presentation at breakfast, to the crisp sheets on the four poster bed, to the great scent in the freshly laundered towels. If you're visiting Salem or just want to get away for a nice/romantic weekend, this is the place to stay.

What a charming b&b in Salem! A little bit away from the hustle & bustle of the downtown, but still in walking distance to everything! Has the added benefit of off-street parking too! The host was very helpful to us too. Assisted with directions, dining recommendations, attractions & activities, etc. Very nice! Would definitely stay here again!
