Top Salem Hotel Reviews

Hawthorne Hotel

Hawthorne Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"My wife and I stayed here for our “minimoon” right after we got married and overall it was a great hotel! Very historic and definitely had that vintage feel while still maintaining cleanliness and a somewhat modern touch. Staff were very helpful and it was close by for us to walk everywhere in Salem! The only downside that we noted was that since the hotel is 101 years old - the walls between rooms are very thin and we could definitely hear others in rooms nearby. But this hotel provided a great place for us to enjoy all of Salem!"
