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!

We stayed in the top floor room. This would be a good room for a family to stay. The history of the inn is interesting and we loved the basement dining room. Clean and central to everything. We were disappointed in Salem, its gotten touristy and full of t-shirt shops. One and done for us.

Dear Whirled Peas, We are sorry you were disappointed by Salem. It is a touristy town which, understandably, is not everyone's cup of tea. However, it seems that you enjoyed your experience at the Salem Inn so we will run with that and hopefully so will anyone that reads your review! Best regards, Jill, Innkeeper

Sorry to say, as we had high hopes, but the hotel was loud, floors were dirty (not a carpet in the joint), had the hospitality spirit of a cheap Air BNB and breakfast was prepared “with no love”. I wish they cared.

Hello Tom, We are not sure you have the right hotel as all of our rooms and hallways have wall-to-wall carpeting. Sincerely, Jill, Innkeeper

The contactless system was annoying and did not function well. Impersonal access is not hospitable; it’s important to be welcomed by a person; our order for what turned out to be a mediocre breakfast required several attempts at electronic transmission. The system is intended for the convenience of management not for that of the guests. Never again!

Hello sasnhe, We are sorry to hear that your stay at the inn was not optimal. Hospitality is one of our most important priorities and we are sorry we missed the opportunity to let you know that. We began to implement our contactless check-in system during covid to keep our guests safe and healthy, and because most guests find it convenient, we have kept it. However, we do have a front desk that is manned from 8am until 10pm and a night innkeeper on call all night, and any of them would have been happy to help you with any issues may have had or even if you just wanted a friendly chat by the fire. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience. Jill, Innkeeper

Nice Inn, very clean, staff was very accommodating and nice. We stayed in the West House in a jacuzzi room. Didn’t use the jacuzzi but it looked nice. Full breakfast a nice touch, fridge and coffee maker in the room. Resident innkeeper was cool. Walking distance to most tourist spots. No on site parking and steep stairs, if mobility is an issue.

This place was phenomenal! The location was amazing and the staff could not have been more accommodating on such a busy month ! Not only that, our car needed a jump upon leaving. It was pouring the rain and yesengya came out in the rain to jump our car (she is one of the inn keepers). If that isn't going above and beyond , I don't know what is.! Stay here if you want an amazing experience.

No elevators so be mindful what you pack because the stairs are steep, carrying baggage up several times is easier said then done. The virtual view of the rooms is a bit decieving looks bigger than it actually is. My room looked clean upon opening but I am very anal when it comes to the bathroom and it was "cleaned quickly" toilet and sink needed attention. They do provide a Kuerig but nothing beats a simple Mr.Coffee pot for hot coffee and less waste. Location was good for walking cafes etc.. but be prepared to walk much longer to main attractions such as Witch Museum. Staff was super friendly especially the gentleman who served us breakfast, very nice and respectful! Breakfast is small as others stated and you are limited so if this is your main meal of the day try a cafe. Very quiet at night no noise nice and cozy! One thing that I did not expect was all the texting for breakfast orders parking etc.. that can work well for some People several factors to look at with that one. Parking: if you stay in the main bldg you will have to walk to your car no big deal to us but could be for some with issues and you are crossing a very busy street. Overall a good experience and for the price the amenities should be updated…

It was cool living in a historic house for a few days, but I don’t think I will do it again. We were at the Peabody and this was our experience... CONS: it was close to the Witch House, but several blocks away from other Salem attractions. We had a senior in our party and they were struggling walking back and forth; once we went back to the room, they wouldn’t go out again. I never saw any employees, besides in the dining area (mildly creepy, but more on that later.) The day beds where you enter the room are squeaky, which isn't a huge deal, but you *will* know when your housemates are “doing-the-do” when you are trying to sleep below them...(the floors also squeaked, but for some reason, I felt like that was expected in an older house.) PROS: the staff text you about everything: checking in/out, placing a reservation/order on breakfast (which is in a different building, but only 2 houses away from Peabody) and letting you know things that are going on, such as a complimentary wine tasting. It was strange because we don’t know if we missed anything or not; we got a text about the wine tasting on our last day, so we don’t know if we missed the previous days or not. It was bizarre to never see a person (besides dinning room attendants, of course.) It had complimentary parking~!!! The greatest perk! We didn’t have to hunt down a spot everyday! Its close to the Witch House! It was a clean house that had a historic few rooms, but then a modern bathroom and kitchen area. They also had a Roku tv with the works. I’m not sure if the staff have their own Disney+ account, but we were able to explore that because no one logged out >_> If I ever came back, I think I would rather stay somewhere closer to where all the action was.…
