I am aghast at any bad reviews or negative ratings of the Stepping Stone Inn. I really am. My husband and I stayed for several nights in late October for our honeymoon. When I called to inquire in the summer, John was friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, he was full for two nights of our stay, but recommended a great place... More

My husband and I stayed at the Stepping Stone Inn on the weekend of my birthday and we loved it! Perfect location, we walked everywhere. Every time we walked in the room we could smell the clean sheets. The owner was also extremely nice. Highly recommend it! More

We spent four days at the Inn, John was great, wi fi was excellent, breakfast was simple but good.room was clean, warm and we slept like a rock, loved the bowl of candy john kept by front door, use of parking garage was a BIG plus, and location was out standing. More

When I think of a bed and breakfast inn, I think of warmth and hospitality, and this inn doesn’t really have those qualities. It’s clean and located in an ideal spot for walking to everything in historic Salem, but those are the only real pros. The wireless signal was also very good, contrary to what another review said. Everything else... More

If you are staying in Salem and can't get into one of the twoo hotels in town (Hawthorne Hotel OR the Salem Waterfront Hotel) the a B&B would be the way to go as there are MANY in town. IF you are planning a Halloween trip to Salem, here is a very importantn fact that I keep to myself: BOOK... More

It was nice, We had never stayed in a B&B before and this was very different and we would stay here again. My room was clean!! I don't agree with the other comment. The computer signal was good, my computer wasn't slow and I never got booted off. I didn't hear any noise from any other room and I couldn't... More

The location is perfect and the owner COULD NOT be any nicer! I would probably choose to stay in the large hotel right down the street next time we're in Salem for a few reasons. If you have any problems with narrow stairs, or a lot of stairs, request to stay on the first or second floor. We stayed on... More

I've been to a number of inns and this inn was definitely a disappointment. The room was loud and lacked enough outlets for charging computer and phones. Don't bother trying to use wifi. Weak to no signal. Not only could you hear all the street noise, you could hear other guests snoring in their rooms (who left their light on... More

Again I say that is too bad and feel that I tried to make things but you were at the time ok now you have another opinion.... More
