I stayed at this hotel and had a fantastic experience. The location is top-notch, right in downtown Salem within walking distance of almost everything you might want to investigate related to Salem's witch hysteria of 1692. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was incredibly friendly. On the downside, the dining options were limited, and the price was a bit high for the value offered.
